I bought this based on a rec from this board. I had such high hopes...Firstly, I thought that this would be more like a lipgloss. I know it says liquid lipstick on the package, but it does not have the texture of a gloss at all. Anyway, it's not as shiny as I thought, and it doesn't last at all! Also, the pigment is not very rich. It looked much better in the tube (Forbidden is a mauve-y brownish color) than on my lips. On my lips it went on very light. I gave it a two because it felt nice & moist, not like other liquid lipsticks. However, I returned it the same day I bought it. Don't waste your money on this.
