I bought 6 of these. Beautifully cardboard packaged, but not wasteful or excessive, the sparkly lid and the weighty feel of the container says 'expensive'. Colour shows true on outside of container. Have tried them all. I would say overall fantastically good product. Coverage is even to apply, pigment is beautiful, product stays on well, the sparkles are fabulous and fun. There isn't any weird smell or taste from the product. The only two things I would recommend is a good lip moisturiser that isn't oily to 'prepare' your lips before application. The product feels a little drying which can impact the overlook of the product also the brush is superb for applying but I have used a lip brush to give more control over applying. Please give the product the correct amount of drying time, or you will not see it at its best. Now go and sparkle darlings...................xx
