I bought this in va-va-vanila, and the smell is to die for! It smells like vanilla cupcake frosting, and tastes pretty darn good too! The roller applicator is tricky, the little ball sometimes get pushed down, so a light hand is key (could be just a fluke on mine though). You get pretty shiny lips, not the shiniest I've had, and it lasts about 1/2 and hour. Overall, not bad for $5, and smells divine!
