Its not that easy to find dark blue lipsticks that are actually dark blue and not dark grey or sometimes even actually black and mislabelled but this one is exactly what it is. A beautiful dark blue shade that actually glides on easily, you don't even have to press the stick hard. It is also not drying like some of these crazy colour lipstains tend to be. Very good quality colour, though it does slip a little if your lips are too wet when you apply so press a bit of powder before doing so. A lip balm primer is not required beforehand. Reasonable staying power though if you want to last more than a few hours, I recommend using a lip sealant like Liplock or Lipcote to keep it longer. Most pale to olive skin tones will find that dark colours suit better than paler shades so this is also a plus.
I was looking for a blue lip stick, I could see that it wasn't sealed it looked blue but when I put a bit on it didn't look that blue and it went very patchy on the lips so I was left very Disappointed.
