I prefer the old infallible lipstick in the duo with the package as a mirror with the seperate compartments. The first more like a lipstick and easy to apply and then the gloss to put over, once set. This is a brush which has more of a liquid texture and I find uneven to put on especially the pout.
For me this lipstick/ lipgloss is by far the best long lasting, non-smudge with easy attached applicator that I have found. I love the pretty colours on offer, I have lots!
