I indulged in 2 of the Smashbox Tokidoki glosses last year, and haven't regretted it at all. Here they are:
The tubes are oversized, and look about 20% larger than MAC lipglasses. They have different illustrations on each tube. The applicator is a brush, which helps dispense a generous amount at a time.
Swatches:
Top is Drammatica, a bright pink laced with subtle shimmer.
Bottom is Dolcissima, a light peach infused with the same subtle shimmer
The glosses are only slightly sticky (major plus), which allows them to have some staying power, but they are not so sticky that hair gets glued to your lips (unlike MAC). They are also odourless (another major plus).
The colour is slightly sheer, which works well for the Drammatica, the bright pink. However I find the light peach of Dolcissima gets lost on my lips as my natural lip colour just takes over it...
Drammatica, once applied is a wearable pink that brightens up my look.
Dolcissima, applies more like a sheer glaze best for a natural/toned down lip. (Yes that is my natural lip colour...sucks because its so overpowering)
The Smashbox Tokidoki glosses are long gone from stores, but can still be found on eBay and other online discount stores for half of what they used to retail for. I noticed my first tube of Dolcissima had a slight colour change when I received it, but all I did was contact my seller and they sent me a new one without the colour issue. No issues with Drammatica at all, so the formula seems to be better.

I wouldn't mind having your natural lip colour! It's gorgeous!! I almost thought that was the colour of the lip gloss and I thought "I'm going to have to hunt down this colour no matter what it takes!"

Very cute packaging, as always anything tokidoki makes looks cute and I love the brush. I just wish it felt like you get what you pay for with tokidoki stuff, their own makeup line is by far the one that needs the most improvement.
I want ur natural lip colour, mine varies between 2 colours; "Corpse" and "Week Old Steak".
The Tokidoki x Sephora line was such a disappointment, none of the glosses had any pigmentation, I mean qu'est-ce que le point right?
I have these too! I like them a lot. They're not too sticky.
So pretty!
very cute packaging

lisa: haha thanks! believe me its a case of the grass being greener. I hate not having the ability to wear any lip colour i want.
ushiushi: you said it! i've heard so many reviews complaining of the lack of colour in the sephora tokidoki glosses. sad they couldn't have done it better.
