The flavor of this product is pineapple something-it isn't on the tube. The color in the tube is a gold bronze (kind of ochre color, actaully) with teeny sparkles. It is a really beautiful color on me-I wear it with a spice colored pencil. also I put it over Maybelline Solar Kiss. The colors are similar-looks good over that. This isn't as thick as MAC, but lasts long enough considering it is an unusual color. It looks shiny, not sparkley. There is a little fragrance right out of the tube, but no taste or smell can be noticed in a few minutes. The smell is pleasant. A really nice looking product on me-pale skin. I can't wear harsh golds that look good on darker skin, but this is a more summery kind of gold.
