My thoughts
I personally think this lip gloss is good if you want fuller looking lips after applying matte lipsticks. It definitely adds a touch of amazingness to those boring matte and flat lip colors which make lips look dull and dead but you can get the same effect with so many other good alternatives with longer lasting ability. I got it as a sample so I am relieved I didn’t spend $19 on it. You can buy it if you don’t mind spending a fortune on a gloss and you love minty cooling effect it gives. Otherwise, I would not suggest spending money on it. These days there are much better options with longer wear time for almost the same price and same in fact a tad bit better characteristics.
