This seems like a good product, but Cherry Ice is too bright for me. Usually I can wear bright colors..... The texture is really great because it adheres to my lips well and doesn't shrink away from my lipline. It isn't super shiny on me. I had read it was like rouge pulp, but I think the texture is a bit thicker so it lasts longer. I put W&W loipgloss in Glowing over it to tone down the brightness and then it looked really good. The W&W gloss stayed on well over this, too. The Lipglide seems to have a slight vanilla scent but I detected no taste or scent unless I tried really hard to notice, especially I noticed nothing when it was on. I think I will buy a softer shade, but Wal-Mart was all out of those. I was surprised I likes the texture of this so much-it is like a gloss that has a lot of pigment and adheres well, not thick as MAC lipglass is, for example, but really more thick with pigment than with the glossy ingredients.
