I really love this color, but am giving it 3 stars because after wearing it for two hours, it was removed from my lips and only outlined them in this awful flakey purple residue. I haven't had this problem with my other Mac lipsticks. Maybe I should use a lip primer next time? I really want it to work- just be aware to check it so you don't end up looking embarrassing at work like me. This is an amazing lipstick. The colour is absolutely gorgeous but it isn't for everyone. The colour is too bright for some and some people just can't wear colours like this. For me this colour looks really good on and is just amazing. The packaging isn’t flimsy, which is good and the rest of the collection I didn't try but this lipstick is good if you want to try something different although it is discontinued.
