My Thoughts on These Lip Glosses
I’m not a big lipstick junkie, like some gals might be, but I enjoy having a few in my makeup drawers for those days when I feel like adding some shine to my lips. But I’m very picky about the kind of lip gloss I like — it has to feel moisturizing and have a good bit of color pigmentation. If it doesn’t then I just feel like it’s a waste of time to apply.
With that said, I was really pleased with the results I got when I applied these lip glosses! They were nicely saturated with color — not like a liquid lipstick by any means, but just the right pigmentation I like to see in a lip gloss . 🙂
The colors show up a bit more intense in these arm swatches, as expected. Aren’t the so pretty and glossy? I love the intense shine that these glosses give. If you enjoy highlighting the center of your lips, these glosses will do the trick with just the smallest dab! Let’s take a look at them on my lips!
(All the lip swatches are applied over a nude lip liner)
Cookie Dough is a very nude color and (obviously!) was my favorite out of the trio. As much as I try to embrace the brighter colors of life….I am just always drawn to the nudes! I really liked the color payoff for this gloss and also appreciated the fact that it didn’t settle into the fine lines of my lips. It’s the perfect gloss to throw in your purse to have on hand for any occasion.
Next up we have Berry Smoothie. Now this color was a bit tricker to apply, in my opinion. Even with a lip liner underneath, I still had to work with it a bit to keep it from settling into the fine lines of my lips (this might not be an issue for everyone, but I have lots of grooves/lines on my lips and when lipcolors settle into them, my lips look crazy-dry and horrible). If I applied a good amount of this color, though, I could get rid of that ‘liney’ look. And the color is really pretty. Very soft, yet still pigmented.
The last lip gloss I received was Peach Sorbet. I feel like the color isn’t showing up really true in this picture (and I took a million trying to get the right, accurate lighting). I would say it’s a few shades more vibrant in person. It’s hard to tell in this picture, but it definitely gives your lips a peachy/coraly hue, which it’s name suggests. I wish I’d had this color during the spring, it would’ve been so perfect! This color applied perfectly, no issues with it wanting to settle into my lines, as you can see from the picture above. I really liked it!
Check out the applicator for these glosses — it’s a really long, flexible tip that is flat on both sides. I wasn’t sure how this would work when applying the gloss, but I actually really loved it. Because of the flat sides, it really packs on the product and I found that it gave me the perfect amount to coat my lips with without having to dunk it back into the tube. And even though the tip is flexible, I felt like I still had enough control to get a precise application.
If you haven’t been able to tell yet…I really like these Color Luster glosses! Berry Smoothie can be a bit tricky for me, but the other two colors are great! The only thing I forgot to mention is that they do have a ‘sticky’ feel to them on your lips. So if that’s something that bothers you, you won’t like this. The good thing, though, is that I can’t detect a fragrance with these lip glosses. I personally don’t mind when my lip products have a fragrance, but some people do. So good to know!

I haven’t tried a product from Laura Geller that I didn’t really like, so I’m glad you liked these glosses! They look really nice and shiny. I’ll have to check them out!
Katie Garvin says
Yes, they’re definitely shiny! And they feel great on the lips, too 🙂
Lisa says
Really love the color on the cookie dough shade!
Katie Garvin says
Yes, that one is my favorite as well Lisa!
Christine says
The colors right away caught my attention! How beautiful and totally colors that I’d want to wear daily! I love how shiny they are and they look very nicely pigmented!
Katie Garvin says
I agree, they’re easy to wear and nice to throw in your purse for a quick retouch throughout the day. And they feel so smooth!
Kristina says
These colors look beautiful! I am picky with my lip glosses too, so I’d have to try one to see how I like it, but it’s nice to know they don’t have much of a scent.
Katie Garvin says
Yeah, I am pretty darn picky, but I’ve been using these on those natural days when I just want to add a bit of shine to my lips 🙂
Tess says
The shades looks very yummy and juicy on the lip, which is an effect I really like sometimes. Nice shades!
Katie Garvin says
Yes, juicy is the perfect way to describe how these look on your lips! <3
Allison @neversaydiebeauty says
Such pretty gloss shades! Why have I never tried anything from Laura Geller? Those are lovely
Katie Garvin says
Oh, you need to try them! I just recently bought a highlighter from Laura Geller, and I’ve been IN LOVE!
WhatLauraLoves says
I honestly couldn’t choose between these lip glosses. The colours are all absolutely stunning!! xxx
Katie Garvin says
I hate making decisions, too, lol! I think they’re coming out with a 4-peice set for the holidays, so keep your eyes peeled for that! 😉
Maria-Isabel says
Great review! These look so pretty! I think I like Cookie Dough best though. ♡
Katie Garvin says
You and me both — I’ve been wearing Cookie Dough a lot this past week!
Jamie | Makeup Life and Love says
These shades look amazing! I am really loving the Cookie Dough shade. Its like the perfect your lips but better shade of goodness. Simply beautiful!!
Katie Garvin says
Yes, it is! For my lips, at least. If you have super pigmented lips, maybe not, but my lips are naturally pretty neutral so this gloss gives it just the perfect hint of color 🙂
Rachel says
Cookie Dough is the shade I like the most out of the three of them x
Katie Garvin says
You and I have similar tastes, girl — Cookie Dough is my favorite, too 😉
Esha says
I love peach sorbet! How pretty is that color!
Katie Garvin says
It’s a beautiful peachy color that has just the perfect tone of vibrancy to it, without being overkill. At least for me 🙂 Ive never been into vibrant lip colors, but have been loving this gloss 😉
Laura says
I have never tried anything from the brand, but I have to say I’m loving the look of these <3

I am going to be sharing more products from Laura Geller in the near future, so get ready to make a wish list! 😉 I just started trying them out this year, and so far I’m really impressed!!
Jiawun says
I don’t find myself reaching for lip glosses very often, but these look like amazing products because of their pigmentation!
Katie Garvin says
I am the same way — I’m just not a big lipgloss person. But I do like owning a few so on the days I want a little extra something, I have it available 🙂
