This was purchased as a gift for a family member. This is her favorite lipstick and always wears this. I can't speak form personal experience, but I do know the color is fabulous on her and that she said it is always long lasting on her and never drying.
I love this lipstick because the color just pops and looks like Christmas. Pretty great the rest of the year also. This lipstick is very creamy and lush. Long lasting and kissable.
The tube is attractive and I like the color being displayed at the bottom.
I consistently use two colors in this lipstick. It has a wonderful feel that is rich and works well on the lip. I use lip liner underneath if I want it to stand out and stay put longer. The lighter color works as well as a lip balm. My favorite Ripe Papaya (light) and Sunstone (darker). I am blond, fair to medium skin color, and blue eyes if that is helpful.
