I bought this on a whim and I was plesantly suprised at the quality of this lipstick. It is a sheer light mauve, very pretty. It didn't have a bad scent or taste and it wore well. It applied smoothly and kept my lips moist. I think what I liked most about this lipstick and the color of it was when it did begin to wear off a bit, it still blended into the natural color of my lips, not leaving a noticable two toned look or ring around my mouth. I love this lipstick and can't wait to try it in all the other shades!
