The color and shine are absolutely stunning. It's not your typical red, but rather a slightly deeper, yet vibrant hue. The glossy finish gives your lips a beautiful, dewy glow as if they've just been kissed by water.
The color doesn't build up or intensify with additional layers. There's a slight oily feeling on the lips, which is a bit disappointing. Also, it doesn't leave much of a stain, so the color doesn't last as long as I'd hoped.
