This is a nice gloss to throw in your makeup bag and keep it there just in case. Or that's what I do anyway. I usually pack the lip colour of the day in my purse but keep this permanently in my makeup bag as a backup because it pretty much goes with everything. It's sheer enough that I could wear it with pale colours in the summer and it's pigmented enough to stand up against and all-black outfit. It's a nice texture and has no noticeable smell. I'm not in love with the tube because the gloss comes out of this little tiny hole and then you have to spread it around with your fingers or a brush. Not a big deal but I prefer a wand or brush-type applicator with my glosses. I didn't buy this - got it from a girlfriend who works at MAC - so I have no idea how much it costs or what the packaging is like. Not sure if I would ever repurchase but I'm in no danger of running out anytime soon.
