Is it really what it's cracked up to be?

I say...

This lipgloss looks similar to M.A.C's Gone Romancin'; one of my favorites. So when I walked in Sephora in Coquitlam Centre, BC, I knew I must have it. It is Sheer, moisturizing and shimmery. Did I mention, it's Purple?

I'm really in between. I'm not sure if I truly hate or love it. It smells nice, tastes like medicine, grape-flavoured, non-sticky, and yet heavy on the lips. It does have staying power, I could tell the petroleum jelly mixed into it, however, in time, only the gloss stays and the color wears off (without any other product applied on lips).

The first thing that came to mind when I tried it is the smell. It closely resembles Bonnebell lip glosses, which definitely threw me off the band wagon. Have you seen the price Ms. Tarantino is selling this for? Way more than M.A.C, yet, the taste of an inexpensive product. It makes you wonder why Ms. Tarantino overprices.

I'm also not happy with the applicator. It's long and odd shape, but then I'm comparing the tubes and the applicator to M.A.C's, since I'm so used to it.

Product: 3 out of 5 Packaging: 4 out of 5 Quality: 3.5 out of 5 Overall: 3.5 out of 5

Would I buy it again? No. I may try a different product from the brand.

Price: $21 regular, bought for $12 sale.
