While this 2-step product takes a little more effort to apply, the color does last nicely and look good. It's a bit glittery (both in the color and the top gloss coat) in color and shine. There are many great colors to choose from, and the shades do match what's printed on the tube. Had a little trouble unscrewing both the containers from each end since they're kind of small. The gloss goes on a little thick and gooey and the end result is somewhat tacky, but it did definitely wear and last longer than any other lip product that I've tried. You get used to the feeling after a few hours so no worries....
