It is a very nice lipstick in terms of performance and hydration, it does not dry out the lips at all and the color applies beautifully without having to press it too much. The reason I gave it four stars for this particular shade is because it differs slightly from the photo, it is not as cool-toned as it appears but rather warm and intense (in other words, it's the Barbie lipstick) at least for me, who has a fair complexion. However, those who are fans of such shades will enjoy it, I believe, and I also add that it is very affordable.
