Smells incredibleeee, when I first got it all I could do was sit there and smell it. Tastes yummy as well you'll just be licking your lips all day - creepy but true. I would definitely compare this to a lip stain as well, I find it can feel a little greasy but I feel results when my lips are chapped as soon as I apply. I have found when I wear it a lot/apply it before bed I wake up and my lips still have some of the colour. It does have shine to it as it says so if you don't like shine then this is most likely not for you :) but try the clear instead!
