Review:

Pros

• Very pretty color

• Goes on very smooth

• Packaging is very sleek
• Leaves a stain on the lips after it wears off

Cons

• If your lips are already dry, I wouldn’t recommend this because it would probably accentuate the dryness
• Becomes a tad bit drying after applied and left on
