I had thought this would be an alternative to Revlon's Just bitten range as that got me hooked on lip crayons! First up this was a miss for me! I had no idea when i selected it from the brochure that it had a sparkle appearance! I don't do sparkly lipsticks! Gloss yes! Shine yes! Sparkle no! I prefer matte long wear or clear gloss thats it! I can do sparkle on my eyes on even as a subtle bronzer but I'm more a matte kinda girl! This was a disappointment! It was a pinky mauvey plum and not a solid plum! Did i mention the sparkly bits ? It tended to bleed over my lip line and was not long lasting! A disappointment for me
