Some work some do not. Some are just over-priced. What we offer works pretty good! We love them or we wouldn't be offering them! These work as good as those that are found more in the lines of $40.00's or higherII These are sheer and can be worn over your lipstick to give it more shine. Or even with another lip gloss. As the owner of Ella Blue Beauty would say "you can never wear too many lip glosses, wear them all if you want too!"
