This stuff is pretty good. It has the shine of a gloss but goes on easily and not sticky like a lipstick. I have this in 'A Hint of Mauve' which is a nice pink/red shade and I have used others like 'A Hint of Shimmering Sandstone' and 'A Hint of Pink Shimmer' and they don't provide much color but are good for a natural shimmery look. I want to try 'A Hint of Pink' next.
