These lip glosses are one of those type that include a light in it! This lip gloss gives more of a sheer color rather than an opaque one. The gloss is quite thick and sort of sticky, but I never use a lot of gloss in the first place, so it's no problem for me! The shade I have (Cranberry Jelly) smells exactly like what it's called, and the pigmentation is perfect for the inside middle part of my lips, to achieve a gradation lip.
