The Bobbi Brown Bellini was my holy grail, but I had to go buy a similar one after using it all up. Haha As the name 'Bear Sparkle' suggests, the pearls are a bit more vibrant and intense than the Bellini! The name 'Bear Sparkle' suits it well. The color itself is not too dark or highly saturated, not overpowering, but the thick golden pearls sparkle and shine beautifully, fitting the 'sparkle' part of the name. If you apply a deep, low-saturation lipstick and then top it with this in the center, it looks so pretty! The synergy between the bold lipstick color and the pearls is great. Haha Since my lips are a bit thin, the glossiness and pearls in the center make them look fuller and nicer. The glossiness is not like an oily, greasy sheen, but more of a smooth, glass-like shine. It provides a bit of protection and keeps my lips moisturized, especially during dry, windy winters when regular lipstick can make my lips crack and peel. But with this on top, my lips stay nice for longer. Haha

As it's a lip gloss, there is a bit of stickiness, and my hair gets stuck to it sometimes. Ugh. But it's not too extreme. And the price is a bit high. Haha It's meant to be used on top of a lip color, but the price is a bit burdensome.

The natural color was great, as it didn't require much touching up of the lipstick, which is a must-have item.

It was quite sticky, so when I applied a bit more, it inevitably started to smear.
