I bought this product while browsing through a store. I loved the texture so much that I could not resist. It is kind of sheer with a hint of color. It makes the lips shiny and moisturised. It stays for a few hours. I don't feel it's sticky like other lip glosses. It comes in a tube with an in-built applicator. You can control the amount that you need which I love. You can substitute your lip balm with this if you like shine. I use it when I dont feel like putting my make up on to brighten up my face. I will definitely buy it again.
