I bought a custom duo of the too nude and too basic lipsticks and can I just say that I loooooooove them? For those of us who have been using products laden with chemicals and artificial fragrances, the smell of the product might be a bit unpleasant. However, the smell is apparent only when the product is in the tube... once applied on the lips, there is no smell. The buildable nature of this product is impressive... whether you want to use it as a tinted balm or lipstick is upto you! The fact that this lipstick can be used as anything... from a lipbalm to lipstick to eyeliner to eyeshadow to contour to colour corrector to blush (phew!) is just amazing! Do give it a chance to sweep you off your feet!
