Minty Fresh
I decided to buy this because I had recently been assigned one of the new Kissaholic lip glosses and I hoped that this would be something similar. While it is similar in some ways to the Kissaholic lip gloss, I don't prefer it as much as I thought I would. Try it if you're looking for a thin and moisturizing lip gloss but I'd recommend Kissaholic's lip glosses over this one. I rated it a 3 because I didn't feel any tingling and didn't feel like it lasted long enough for me.

Fresh from doing a review on one of Kissaholic's lip gloss, I decided to buy Kama Sutra's Erostick lip gloss and give it a try! Kama Sutra's Erostick lip gloss comes in three flavors: Mint, Strawberry & Cherry, I'm reviewing the mint. Packaged in a nice cardboard box, the tube of lip gloss is held in place by a cardboard insert inside the box. The actual size of the lip gloss is .16 fl oz and it's in a thick, clear hard plastic tube with a metallic lid. There aren't any logos on the tube so it's fairly discreet. I wasn't sure if the Green gloss would actually go on clear but much to my relief it did.
This lip gloss has a doe foot application tip to evenly apply the gloss to your lips. It felt cool after a few minutes of me applying it but not as strong and extreme as other cooling lip glosses have felt. I think it's also supposed to tingle but I didn't feel a thing! I found this lip gloss to be really thin. What I mean by that is that I had to apply quite a bit of it to get any shine and soon after it felt gummy but nothing unbearable. The scent of mint wasn't strong, it was nice and light. The taste was also very light, a little waxy with a faint taste of mint but overall pleasant. This gloss didn't seem to last long, maybe about 20 minutes maximum, before I needed to reapply.
Initially I was curious to try the other flavors but after how this one performed, I don't think I'll bother. I would've liked a stronger cooling feeling to it and for it to be longer lasting. There's not much wrong with this lip gloss and I wouldn't advise against getting it but really it was just okay, nothing amazing for me. If you're looking for a shiny long lasting lip gloss, this might not be the gloss for you. If you're looking for a light smelling, very light shine, moisturizing lip gloss then you might want to try this one out!

Experience
I mentioned this with the other cooling lip gloss I reviewed but I feel it's worth mentioning again: I wouldn't advise wearing this while your lips are dry or chapped because it probably will sting quite a bit!

Follow-up commentary
7 days after original review
As far as a lip gloss, this doesn't provide much gloss. It does leave my lips feeling soft but that's where the benefits of this gloss ended for me. I'll use it up and won't be purchasing this again.

EEEEWWW!!Gummy? I hate that in a gloss.
-
thats to expensive for a lip gloss i think. I'll just buy a 3 dollar lipgloss at target that is probably better anyhow.

I know, I've read other reviews where they didn't experience it getting gummy so maybe I applied too much? I know that compared to other lip glosses, this one seems to focus on conditioning the lips rather than adding a noticeable shine. I got it when it was on sale for $11.99 LilLostLenore and did a buyout assignment but I agree, for a gloss it's expensive especially considering I didn't find it to look glossy on my lips at all. Thanks for reading and commenting
