I’ve been using this particular lip gloss glaze since past couple of days. Earlier I was wondering what "glaze" thing refers to from the product description. But, after the subsequent usage, I can very well relate the ‘glaze’ attribute to the product.
Rose garden is a nice nude shade with muted pink and orange in it, making it perfect for day wear.

My experience with the lip gloss glaze – Rose Garden:
I love to wear such nude shades that don’t wash my face out. I’ve found the consistency of this gloss to be quite balanced, i.e. neither too thick nor too runny. The best thing about this gloss is that I didn’t find it sticky on my lips. It feels quite light and gives an even coverage to my lips. It has very subtle glossy effect which looks beautiful in the daylight. So, that was the gloss part, where is the glaze?
I wore this lip gloss yesterday evening while going out to a nearby supermarket for regular grocery shopping. There at a cosmetic counter, when I looked at my lips, I could see it catching and reflecting light beautifully, which I really liked a lot. It didn’t look OTT at all; nice subtle effects giving an overall soft look and glow to my face.

Below is how it looks on my lips:
And here are some pros and cons that I feel from this lip gloss glaze:
Pros:
1) It comes in a nice sturdy packaging with a sponge applicator for even coverage and easy application.
2) The gloss is neither too thick, nor too runny. It is of quite balanced consistency which I like a lot.
3) It gives a subtle nude color to my lips, with a hint of pink and orange in it. The light reflecting particles add to the shine and work quite well in giving a soft look that can be easily carried on for a day look, as well as built appropriately for night time looks.
4) It never felt sticky on my lips. The lip gloss feels quite light and is quite comfortable to wear.
5) No allergic reactions and no taste.
6) It is made up of natural and organic constituents which definitely make it score over the other chemically dominated lip glosses available in market.
7) Quite affordable for the quantity and quality you get.
Cons:
1) As is the case with all lip glosses, the staying power of this too is quite less. I had to do touch ups after every 1-2 hours, that too when I was not eating or drinking anything.
2) If you like your lip glosses to smell vanilla and strawberry and want them to taste like candies, then you may not like it much. It has almost negligible herbal kind of smell that vanishes after a few seconds of application. Also, it is tasteless, which I feel is not a con, unless you want to eat your lip glosses!!
3) I didn’t find it ultra-moisturizing for my super dry lips. It might work well for people who have normal lips. It is not drying, but not very hydrating either; just normal. I had to apply a lip balm beneath it after 1-2 hours before doing touch ups to keep my lips well mannered, but that is just the case with me. I usually suffer from very dry and chapped lips, so that might be a problem with me only.
4) The shade might not show up very well for pigmented lips, as it is a nude shade.
Overall verdict: I really liked this lip gloss a lot, for the fact that it is a color and gloss, all in one. The gloss can be built to get desired effects for both day and night time looks and I like such versatile glosses. It has this beautiful hint of color which neither makes my face look too pale (something I’ve experienced with some other glosses). Nice, soft hint of color and shine, making it perfect for everyday wear.
