i love the colour...kind of a deep raspberry with some gold shimmer to it. the texture's nice, thick and kind of whipped, which i think makes it last longer than other lip glosses. but the smell! it stinks so much i can't stand it. i have to put a clear, vanilla-scented lip gloss over it just to mask the awful fragrance. for that reason, i would not buy this again. but it's still a good gloss.
