The scent is slightly reminiscent of coconut. It might come across as a bit rich to some. The packaging is beautifully NARS-like, as expected! Since I'm used to wearing bold lip colors, this alone feels a bit too subtle for me. Nevertheless, I'm using it well as a base. It pairs nicely with most of my other lip products, so I'm satisfied with it as a base layer. The application itself isn't great. You need to spread it with your fingers to get an even application. While it feels moisturizing at first, it becomes matte later on, emphasizing dead skin cells. There also seems to be a slight 'yogurt effect' (pilling)... To use this as a base, you need to pat it in with your fingers to help it absorb. Otherwise, it seems to pill up everywhere! - Hwahae UserDry SkinMay 4, 2017
The application is very smooth, like a lip gloss. The case is also really cute. As for the lasting power, I'm not too sure. When applied, it feels like a gloss, but when you look at it, it has more of a lipstick-like matte finish. The applicator is really soft and nice. You can check the color in the photos. I'm a warm-toned autumn and I'm using shade 23, which is a nude peach or nude coral color, and I really like it. It also works well as a base for ombre lips. I'm a big fan of matte lips, so I liked the matte-like finish, but even though it applies moisturized, after about 30 minutes, my lips start to feel a bit dry and tight. I've tried a lot of matte lipsticks, and this is the first time I've experienced this level of dryness, even though it doesn't show as much on the surface. Personally, the lasting power isn't as good as the MAC Retro, but it doesn't emphasize flaky lips as much. This is a great lip product that doesn't leave a white cast, but if you're looking for a color that does leave a white cast, I'd recommend the MAC Retro line, either Rich & Restless or Mango Mango. If you want something without the white cast, this one is a good option.
