I got this from my boyfriend as a replacement after he accidentally dropped and broke my Benefit Benetint (that's the problem with glass containers). This pretty much works the same way, as a stain, but it comes with a clear gloss. The tint gives a natural flush to the cheeks and a "just-eaten-cherries" look to the lips. I use the gloss over practically every lipstick that I wear, despite it being quite gooey, but I'm used to it. Overall, a good product.
