Like many of us, I've had a love / hate relationship with lip gloss. It's an ongoing cycle of seeing it, liking it, of buying it, trying it, getting annoyed by how it feels, and swearing off lip gloss forever... until I get "inspired" again. On my latest quest, I looked more carefully than other times, and had a good feeling about this product. Sure enough, I tried it, and it doesn't feel too noticeable. The cycle has been broken and no more disappointing lip glosses will get added to my collection from this point onward! I have a warm tan skin tone, and the "darlin" shade goes well over my favorite red-orange lip stain.
