This product smells delicious, I wanted to eat it all up. It’s a sheer, matte lipstain that indeed lasts. It contains aragan oil which helps moisturize the lips and has great buildable coverage if you want a less sheer look. It's inexpensive so you can not go wrong with trying this. The swatches above show 1 coat, 2 coats and 3 coats. The only downfall I'd say is it is a really watery consistency so it is a bit of work to get an even coverage.
