I've loved the LipLix line, and this product is no exception. "Espress-Yo-Self" is a light-textured moisturizing gloss with a sheer, darker cool-brown tint and no shimmer. On me, it gave a my lips a little cool, "sophisticated" neutral brown-mauve color. The flavor might bother some, but I felt like it was a fairly mild, almost chocolatey flavor.
