I don't think I've purchased a lip gloss for R255! Also, I don't think I ever would! Nevertheless, the Shiseido lip lacquer are absolutely beautiful. I especially loved this Mocha shade because of late, browns have been my go-to colour. The rich and creamy texture that is associate with lip lacquer are what make them (often) worth the buy. If your pockets run deep, then go ahead and purchase yourself this beautiful lippy!
