I was quite disappointed with this product, albeit its small price. I bought this in the color Raisin, and when I applied it over freshly exfoliated lips, it picked up more flakes and smeared on unevenly on my lips. Initially I thought I hadn't scrubbed my lips cleanly enough. So I gave my lips another round of polishing, and a slick of lipbalm to smooth away any unevenness, but only the same result was attained. I eventually gave up in my frustration, and I haven't worn that lipstick since.
