As someone who isn't particularly knowledgeable about beauty products, I bought this after receiving a recommendation from a friend. It's the best item of make up I own by a long way. The fact that the colour matches the alkaline level in the wearer's lips is incredibly clever and a nifty quirk, as well as meaning that it suits everyone. There's no need to worry about the colour being too bright, or too dark; to test this, I lent it to my mother and to my best friend. The colour came up slightly differently on all three of us and looked fantastic.

The other thing I really like about this product is the feel of it on my lips. While some lipsticks look odd and give the lips a strange texture, this is soft and feels great. The moisturising quality of it is great; it looks and feels great. It's also perfect for a work environment, or a night out, or just a shopping trip round town, as it's not too flashy but perfectly accentuates one's natural features.

The price is reasonable; I bought mine from Boots for just under a fiver, which compared to other make up brands is a bit of a bargain. I'd recommend trying it out first if there's a tester available in the shop, just so that you can see what colour it appears on your lips, due to the fact that it is different for everyone. (As I explained before, this isn't just a cheeky marketing gimmick, it really does do this!) Strange as it might look to apply a green colour to your lips in public, the final shade is definitely worth the money! It takes a moment or two for the colour to fully appear, but once it does, I hope you'll be as satisfied as I am! Definitely a purchase that I'd recommend, especially if you aren't fully familiar with beauty products and don't really know what colour lipstick would suit you.
