I was excited to try the NYX brand and bought the lip gloss palette. I must say for me I was disappointed at the fact that after applying it on my lips, it looked like I had lipstick on instead of a gloss. The lipstick brush is exactly what chicara said, small and flimsy. I have tried to mix it with a clear gloss on top to make them look glossier but colour gloss doesnt last long on your lips.
