thanks to big lots i got this for more than half the price, but even if i would have paid full price it would have been worth every penny. this was the first colourjuice i have tried and i loved it. the gloss smelled and even tasted wonderful, like candy. the color was wet and shiny w/o any shimmer. now i cannot normally wear red but this gives me the most perfect red wet looking lips i have ever seen. the gloss is really long lasting, slightly on the sticky side, but not annoying.
