I don't even know where to begin. It smells overwhelmingly like grape-flavored medicine. Not grape candy, not soda, medicine. And yet, on your lips, it has a terrible chemical taste to it. The color (in my case, 04 Vampire Red) goes on very patchy and uneven, no matter what condition my lips are in. It's drying but somehow also sticky/gummy. The fact that it makes for an okay cheek tint is the only thing that's kept me from just throwing it out.
