I talked about picking up the Glazed Lip Paints in my Drugstore.com haul here. Here are the three colors I chose to test out:
top to bottom: Peony, Blushing, Pin-Up
L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints
Claims From lagirlusa.com:

I thought these would have more of a minty taste or smell with peppermint oil as an ingredient (like the C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shines - I am obsessed with these!). Only Pin-Up had any mint to it and it was fleeting. There definitely wasn't any cooling sensation or breath freshening factor like the Mentha Lip Shines.
These are a complete mess to put on. If you use the applicator like you would a normal squeeze tube gloss applicator it ends up all over your mouth and teeth. It's like the angled tip doesn't run smoothly over your lips; it drags a bit and way too much product comes out at once. It's not as tacky as I thought it would be, so maybe that's why it got all over my teeth.
These definitely hold a good punch of pigment in them. They don't go on sheer at all, despite looking like a gloss consistency. They stay on for quite a good amount of time, considering it stays a bit shiny for a while. After the shine is gone (or if you eat or drink) it still leaves behind a nice stain from the color.

These aren't bad for to price...there are just so many other drugstore lip products I like more where I don't feel self-conscious putting them on without a mirror and a lip brush. After seeing how these performed, I am curious about the Tarte Melted Lipsticks, especially since they are supposed to be long-wearing. I am a huge fan of long-wearing lip products lately, since I tend to forget to reapply.
