The ombre effect on the tubes are quite pretty and eye catching.. love the use of black since its not a typical lip gloss package colour.
It does work well as a lipstick and a gloss in one. I however find it a bit "heavy" on my lips as I usually wear only one or the other and never both.
The gloss isnt oily or greasy though which is nice.. no one wants frying pan lips!
I woudn't say its long lasting but even when the gloss rubs off the colour does stay.
I have the Phenomenon shade and the Apocaliptic shade in these.
I find the Apocaliptic shade far too bright and too much though.. I prefer more natural and softer looking colours.
