I've always wanted to try lorac's lip polish because I heard it gives great shine, so i bought the holiday pack mini vials of lorac's lip polish at sephora.com. I was very disappointed, first of all, I paid a ridiculous amount for 8 thumb sized trials.2cd, the colours were gorgeous but the texture was horribly thin that I had to reapply the colour numerous times throughout the day. 3rd, the shine is nothing compared with mac lipglass. you lick your lips once and it's gone!!!! I am soo glad I didn't buy the original that costs 17.50US for a lousy quantity and poor product.save your money and stick with MAC or anything else because this gloss is not worth the money!!
