    I believe the 4 special patterns have a glossy finish. All the rest should be matte.

    First off both those links are the same, and secondly, if you watch the video closely, you'll notice that the white lid is one of the special pattern lids.

    Both the white and the pink look glossy to me. Unless they changed their lids from the 1520, then the blue, brown, green, and red should not be glossy, but maybe they changed their lids?

    Never mind. The one that appears pink in that video is actually the purple blossom pattern.

    After a bit of time searching, I figured out that the black is matte, white & patterns are glossy, and the rest are microsatin.
