Great lip color for the price. It is ULTRA Pigmented color. [SEP] wow!  Speaking of solid, strong color!  It's opaque color and what you see from the bottle is what it will be on your lips.<br />It doesn't last all day, but  it does stay longer than regular lipstick. If you have lipstick sealer , it will last much longer. (I got it from local store that goes over the long lasting lipstick. it is solid stick, looks white, but it goes on clear and glossy)<br /><br />This lipsticks leave some kind of residue on my lips after apply.  I wouldn't say it's waxy, but it has slight wax feel to it.<br />It also stains lips. For me, I am not used to wearing this strong color lipsticks, so I apply this colors on and let it sit for little bit. Then, I will wipe it off and put lip gloss over it.  I have to be careful  not to smudge around the lips when I wipe the lipstick out. Otherwise, it loos like kids put on lipstick-mess!  So far, I found  'work around ' to use the lipstick.  But, for the future purchase, I would select more tone-down colors. /t
