Hourglass Extreme Sheen High Shine Lipgloss
Hourglass Ballet Extreme Sheen High Shine Lipgloss ($28.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “deep rose.” It’s a brightened, medium pink with subtle cool undertones and a creamy, glossy finish–it’s just shy of being a fuchsia, but there’s still a fair amount of vibrancy. It was richly pigmented, easy to apply, and lasted for five hours. The formula is mostly non-sticky–it gets slightly tacky towards the end of wear–light-medium in thickness, comfortable to wear, and somewhat hydrating. NARS Priscilla (P, $26.00) is more fuchsia. MAC Full Speed Ahead (P, $19.50) is darker. MAC Embrace Me (LE, $15.00) is brighter, shimmery. MAC Call Me Gorgeous (LE, $20.00) is more shimmery, sheerer. Illamasqua Belladonna (P, $22.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Hourglass Canvas Extreme Sheen High Shine Lipgloss ($28.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “warm nude.” It’s a light-medium, rosy beige with subtle warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had mostly opaque color payoff, and it applied evenly without settling into lip lines. This shade wore well for four hours, and it was moderately hydrating during that time. NARS Belize (P, $26.00) is sheerer. Paul and Joe Beaute Carnaval (06) (P, $29.00) is pinker, sheerer, darker. Maybelline Caramel Infused (065) (P, $8.99) is pinker. NYX Maple Blondie (P, $5.00) is lighter, pinker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Hourglass Muse Extreme Sheen High Shine Lipgloss ($28.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “vibrant red orange.” It’s a vibrant, medium-dark orange-red with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had really good color payoff, but I found the application to be trickier with this shade than the others (and I totally would have guessed it to be the other way around!)–it seemed to take a lot of maneuvering and additional product to get it sit evenly on the lips. Once on, it lasted for five hours and was somewhat moisturizing while worn. NARS Eternal Red (P, $26.00) is sheerer. MAC Berry Bold (LE, $20.00) is sheerer, redder. Shiseido Lust (RD305) (P, $25.00) is darker. Maybelline Signature Scarlet (020) (P, $8.99) is darker, redder. Revlon Fire (P, $7.49) is darker, redder. Illamasqua Temper (P, $22.00) is more orange. Illamasqua Mistress (P, $22.00) is pinker, lighter. Hourglass Nectar (P, $28.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

I’ll defiantly have to check these out.
Let me know what you think, JJ!
I bought Ballet and the color is beautiful and the feel is very comfortable, defiantly what I expect from a high end gloss.
Woohoo!
Mine favorite from the bunch is canvas….such an adorable and kissable colour….
I love how evenly it applied!
Ballet is the prettiest! such a cute name as well!
I really loved the rosiness of Ballet!
Application be damned! I need Muse in my life! I’ll wear it over a stain or something – that’s purrrrty.
You probably won’t notice in person unless you’re REALLY looking!
Oohhhh I’ve been so good at resisting things when you post them but Muse is looovveeelllyyyy :S
Awwww!
All three are gorgeous shades on you Christine 🙂 but MUSE is taking all the attention even if you are not happy with application 🙂
I have a question dear 🙂 and sorry if i fail to convey
when you “review” gloss and take pictures , do you layer them over and over to show the actual color or this is just one layer – on top and on bottom ?
About one layer – it’s not an exact science – but it’s about a single, even layer!
You look younger in these pictures compared to old ones. These colours suit you. 🙂
Thanks, Ammara!
these are such beautiful colors! i don’t need them but i want them! i’ve never tried hourglass lip products before!
They’re worth a try if you ever see ’em!
Muse is beautiful. What a shame about the application 🙁
It’s not too noticeable from afar, but the other two applied so well that it was a surprise.
Oh how I wish I could wear these, the colors are gorgeous!! I’ve had 3, and ALL of them would only last less than 2 hours on me, plus during that time, they would migrate all around the edges of my lips.. terrible! 🙁 Which is weird, because lip products tend to stick so well to my lips for some reason, and normally stay where I put them for a good few hours!!
Oh no!! 🙁 Which shades did you try?
I can’t even remember the names of two of them, I gave them away so quickly! ahah 😀 But the one that disappointed me the most was Icon.. such a great red though! Broke my heart!! 🙁
Awww!
Oh my I like the first one… the second one…the third one… haha!
Hard to pick just one to like 😉
I like them all!
Woohoo!
Now I really want Muse! Or maybe Canvas!
What eyeliner are you wearing? It’s really pretty.
Marc Jacobs Luna(tic)
Thanks!
Hmm, I have a giftcard and I’m almost at 500 points. Muse and Luna(tic) might just be calling me! It’s fate.
Oh, I love all three shades and I adore the packaging, too! I prefer opaque glosses like these instead of the sheer ones I seem to have
I like opaque glosses a lot, too!
I’m not a huge fan of lipgloss but when it’s opaque like this, I’m all over it.
I love my gloss ever SUPER shimmery or super opaque, so these are up my alley! 🙂
I have to check these out as well!!
Let me know what you think, Elana!
No Nina, you haven’t seen this post and muse isn’t the most beautiful shade you’ve ever seen… You.dont.need.more.lip.products.
I guess I have to check these out in person…
LOL! 😉
Love these!!! The third is probably a little brighter than I need but I might pick up one of the others. Never tried these before…
They’re worth trying, Megan! I’ve only been disappointed with one or two (for lack of opacity).
Wow these are stunning!
Which is your fave, Jess?
Wow, these look wonderful.
The first two are really amazing! Muse is forgivable but not quite as lovely.
These are lovely. Muse really suits you!
Aw, thanks Lotus!
WOW, those are pretty amazing!
They are! Love the pigmentation on these.
Hi Christine, any scent/taste on the lip gloss? Thanks!
Sweet vanilla scent!
My goodness! They’re all so pretty! Lol I want them all
Uh oh! 😉
Oh gosh.Those are stunning on you.I’ll be buying all three.Thanks Christine! 🙂
Thank you, Alejandra! Enjoy your new goodies!
Muse is hypnotic! 😀 I love the way Canvas looks on you, actually – like such a pretty, understated, everyday shade, but then you look a little closer, and there’s something extra to it!
It totally works! I’m really picky about my beiges.
I’m not a lip gloss girl but holy cow these are gorgeous!!
They are!
I’m astonished at how pigmented these are! I guess it’s a good thing for my wallet that Hourglass isn’t available in Singapore.
Your wallet remains safe 😀
The formula looks looks fab and color wise I loved MUSE… <3 <3
Gorgeous Lip swatches ,… 🙂
Thank you!
Too bad that this brand isn’t available in my country. 🙁 Ballet looks like a dream.
I hope they expand distribution!
Wow Canvas is stunning… I love shades like that, if the undertones are just right they are total workhorses.
I agree! This could be a great shade for some.
These look more like liquid lipsticks than glosses! the shades are so gorgeous, i need all three :O
They definitely straddle that line between gloss and liquid lipstick!
All of these look great! I wouldn’t know which shade to pick!
Too many good choices!
I think I love these. Glad to see Hourglass get some A’s, and for something other than their amazing powders!
Some of their Extreme Sheens are REALLY amazing!
They’re all such gorgeous shades! Are they LE?
Permanent!
