It's a great shade that I've been using for a year now. I always reach for it cause it's a safe colour to wear for work. And it's so lasting that I can still see a tint of the color by evening even without touching up all day. I gave it a "4" cause I find that the lipstick doesn't stay straight in the casing after a year. Perhaps it's a little soft to begin with and now, I've to pick at it with a lipbrush.
