I can't recommend this lipstick because every tube I've ever bought was rancid. The nasty smell is the first indication. The second is a striking color change obviously caused by product deterioration. I don't know if they have a preservative problem, or whether I've just shopped at stores with a low turnover. I really wish these weren't that way, because they are really good, inexpensive matte lipsticks with staying power. I have seen some slight color change on the lips, though.
