I was looking for a non drying lipstick that leaves a stain. Most of the time when I use lipstick, it makes my lips all crusty. This didn't meet my expectations, but I was really intrigued by the packaging. The slant on the lipstick is much larger than I expected. I got the colour 17 Rosy Wood. It's a nice pinky beigey colour which flatters me quite nice. It's a little drying when I put it on and I can definitely tell that I'm wearing something on my lips. It's not abysmal, but there's room for improvement.
