Thoughts: When I saw this product, I was intrigued. I know that lipsticks and lipglosses are the in thing, but I still prefer liquid lipsticks. I just like the idea of how the products do not stain the cup/thermal bottle while drinking throughout the day. For this reason when I saw this product, I said yes let me try one.

Here's a closer look at the color.

Here's a closer look at the applicator.

Here's a swatch of the color on my hand.

Here's how the product looks on me.

Here's an overall look with Anastasia Sultry Eyeshadow Palette on the eyes.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product, and there's a slight scent. It smells like vanilla. Secondly, the packaging is nice. It's simple and definitely looks like a packaging for a liquid lipstick. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic and it's see through. If you own more than one, than you can distinguish the colors. The top is also sturdy. You can feel a tight seal when you open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's small enough to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. The shape of the doe foot applicator looks like a tear drop. The tip, sharp part, is great to outline the lips and the flat round part is great to fill in the remaining. There's also a little dip in the center of the round part. It grabs enough product that we do not need to re-dip into the product. Third, the consistency is liquidity. It glides on and does not tug on the lips. It goes on liquidity and dries within minutes. I wouldn't say it's the fastest drying liquid lipstick but it doesn't take that long. Once it dries, it's matte and slightly transfer-proof. I just kissed my hand and I saw small kiss mark mostly in the center of the lips. It's not that big of a deal or at least in my opinion. Since it's a liquid lipstick, I highly recommend you exfoliate before applying the lip product. It will adhere to the lips and show all the imperfections. Depending on the brand, some adhere more so than others. I don't mind the fine lines but I don't like the thick lines. It ages the lips in my opinion. Thankfully, this lip product only shows the fine lines. Fourth, the color is pretty. It's a neutral pinkish-brown tone or at least on my lips. It's a great all year color, as well as, for everyday. It'll look great with all types of makeup from light to smokey. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. I wouldn't say it's the most pigmented but one coat was good enough to show on my light to medium skin tone. Lastly, it lasted until I ate. I have a tendency to wipe my mouth while eating. For this reason, most lip products don't last that long on me. With that said, it's comfortable and not drying at all. I did not see any white residue in the center of the lips. I'm glad I got this product. I actually like it a lot. I can see myself wearing it often.

* No noticeable scent while applying.
* Simple, nice packaging.
* Well-made and sturdy packaging.
* See through; can distinguish the colors if you own more than one.
