Advantages: Great colours, comfortable texture on lips

Disadvantages: Difficult to apply

What strikes you for the first time when seeing this lipstick has to be its case. You could not possibly ask for something more luxurious - this is the ultimate luxury case! And of course, for girls, the case do matter. The nice middle bit that shows the colour behind the logo also helps.
The best selling colour (#7, Lingerie Pink) is the ultimate strawberry milk colour that every girl craves for; it's not too thick or fluorescent but delicately pastel toned.
The lipstick seems to exude peachy fragrance which is pleasant (and not too heavy so can be ignored, if not appreciated) and has a soft texture that shows in the glossiness after application.
However, the soft texture is a double edged sword as it is not entirely easy to apply on lips as opposed to swatching on hands. Because it is soft, it feels as though the lipstick applies unevenly and lumpily in places, often getting caught in the lines on the lips. So I would personally suggest you dab your lips quickly with tissue before very lightly applying the lipstick once again to supplement the colour. Alternatively you could use your lip brush to meticulously even out all the lumps and fill in the lines.
The colour of the lipstick seems to improve with time (about an hour or so) and is on the long lasting side of others.

Summary: Case alone is worth it and add to that the lovely colours - definite yes to get
