This lipstick is really pretty, the color is exactly what I was looking for and the finish is amazing, very "velvet" as it claims. It applies nicely and I found it quite moisturizing as well, considering my lips are usually very dry. It is not exactly long wearing, since it did come off a bit after eating and drinking, but it doesn't claim to be so. I love how the color of the tube matches the color of the lipstick, it really makes for a beautiful packaging. When closed, it locks into place and it doesn't feel like it would open by accident, which I appreciate. I would definitely purchase other colors.
