it is very smooth when applying and i love the color [SEP] this is probably the prettiest lipstick i have ever seen it is very smooth when applying and i love the color but the taste is horrible if you can stand the taste of plastic and chemicals then by all means buy this if you cannot then i definitely do not recommend this this taste gave me a horrible headache and the fact that it is like a stain it does not come off your lips for the whole day so the taste does not go away either
