For starters, it sort of smells like vanilla. I say “sort of” because it slightly smells medicinal too which doesn’t make it very pleasing per se. But that doesn’t bother me much as it is not overwhelming. Looking at the formula, I agree that it does feel very light and silky on my lips. Also, the flat applicator makes application pretty simple.
The shade that I have got is called 07 Silky Red which is a red leaning towards coral. It’s not very pigmented though. It gives a semi-sheer coverage on my lips and doesn’t pop as much as I had expected. I've noticed that it doesn't apply evenly on my lips probably because of its sheer pigmentation. Moreover, it doesn't appear entirely matte. For someone like me who generally likes loud, full coverage lip colors, this isn’t good news. However, there are times when I feel like wearing a toned down red, something that wouldn’t be too loud for the occasion. And this is THAT product.
Is it long-lasting? Well not so much. Don’t get me wrong. It does last a solid two hours on my lips and leaves a gorgeous tint however it is not the longest wear formula I've ever tried. It doesn’t dry out my lips considering it gives a matt finish – that’s probably the best part about it.
Overall, I have a so-so feeling about it. This would definitely appeal to the younger crowd, someone who’s just started out with makeup or someone who isn’t comfortable pulling off bold colors.
