I'm in love with this lipstick! It has a wonderful colour and goes on easy. It dries quick for an innexperienced liquid lip user so one needs a couple of practice runs before they get the hang of it. I would recommend a lip brush for the outer areas of the lip if you're too worried about using the applicator (though the applicator is really nice). My only annoyance with the lipstick is that it really comes off in the inner corners of my lips. Mostly because it feels weird and it flakes off into my mouth or beside it on my cheek. However this could be something I'm doing wrong myself. I totally recommend this!
