I happened to see a video and was so charmed that I made an impulsive purchase! I can't believe how glossy and smoothly it applies - I'm shouting 'Pony is the best!' as I apply it haha The exterior is golden, and you can even see the contents inside. Personally, I really dislike lip gloss products, but this one doesn't feel sticky at all and has just the right amount of shine - it's really beautiful. I'm usually a matte lipstick person, so using this tint is a first for me, but I'm very satisfied. :) I'd recommend this to people who like natural or light, bright makeup.
ConsThe price isn't exactly super cheap, but you can get it a bit more affordably if you use coupons! Personally, I'm quite disappointed with the ingredients. I'm not experiencing any lip issues at the moment, but among the lipsticks I use, there are a lot with not-so-great ingredients, so I'd love to see an improvement in this area. Also, the color payoff was a bit different from the Pony videos. After using 3 shades, including the freebie, I feel the shades don't have very distinct personalities. There are slight tone differences, but less so than other products. In short, they look quite similar. Oh, and the fragrance is another divisive point - it has an artificial watermelon scent. I'm fine with it, but I know many dislike it, so keep that in mind!
TipApplying it as a base and then layering a bolder lipstick on top for a gradient effect makes it look really beautiful.

The creamy texture does not feel dry when applied.
ConsApart from applying smoothly, everything else is disappointing. I had heard good things about the Pony Effect products, but this one has let me down greatly. The color payoff is nothing like what I saw in the swatch photos. The watery formula requires multiple layers to get a decent color, but even then, the color is not as vibrant as I expected. The biggest letdown is the color, and it even feels slightly itchy when applied, though not to an irritating degree. The longevity is also poor, and it applies unevenly with a slippery feel and some dryness. It even forms little balls, like yogurt. I've been frustrated with the lip products I've been buying lately, and this one has only made me angrier. If it had at least one redeeming quality, like a pretty color, good longevity, moisturizing feel, or no yogurt-like balls forming, it wouldn't have been the worst.

Hmm... The product box was also very nice, and the case is pretty too. As for the tint, it's just about average.
ConsThe scent is watermelon, but it's a really artificial watermelon scent that I dread applying it every time. When I swatch it on my hand, it looks nice, but when I apply it to my lips, it's too sheer, so I have to layer it several times. Even though I have to layer it, it still feels moisturizing and nice.

It's moisturizing, so even someone like me who often experiences lip flakiness can wear it without lip balm and still feel hydrated. The scent is watermelon, but the taste is not very strong. The applicator is soft and smooth, and it leaves a glossy finish after application!
ConsThose who prefer matte finishes may not like it as much, as it can feel a bit sticky and glossy after application. The color is lighter than the swatch shown on the website. Over time, the scent becomes more like alcohol rather than watermelon...
TipApplying without lip balm helps the color show up better
