I purchased this liquid lipstick/gloss in the color "Delicious", a warm plummy brown and really love it. It works best to apply a light coat--too much and it smears off quickly. Like most glosses, it will not last through the day and needs to be applied after eating, but does leave a light stain behind. I did not notice a strong scent or taste with this product and am looking forward to trying different colors in the future.
