Missha’s 2012 Spring/Summer collection includes the Signature Glam Art Gloss in the shade S-CR04, which is a coral shade with golden shimmer.
Packaging: 9.75/10
This gloss comes in a rectangular, clear, plastic tube. The handle has a special-edition Designer Kim Jeehee image on two faces and a gold, embroidered flower design on the other two faces. The gloss has a slanted, doe-foot applicator. The packaging is extremely light-weight.
Quality: 9.25/10
This coral shade is very easy to wear. It has good pigmentation, but is also semi-translucent, so the natural texture of your lips still shows through, balancing the orange tone of the gloss with this pink in your lips. If you’re someone who has a hard time wearing coral colors, but want to be able to rock the trend, this is a great color to try out. The shade also has a medium level of shimmer.
The formula is thin and has zero stickiness. It wears like an average lip gloss–about 2-2.5 hours before needing re-application.
Oh, and did I mention that this gloss has an SPF of 12 to help protect your lips from sun damage?
Ease of Use: 9.75/10
The thin formula glides onto the lips easily and the translucent color is easy to apply.

For $15.99 you get 5.6 grams of product. This is a good amount of product for a lower-than-normal price-point.
