I purchased this for a steal at Postie Plus in the shade Playing. It has quite a sweet simple design with a nifty sharpener in the lid which works very effectively. The shade Playing is a bright glossy pink-coral when applied thickly, or a muted berry pink stain when dabbed lightly on the lips and blended out. The texture is a little tacky on the lips even when used as a stain.
The formulation is SERIOUSLY creamy. You absolutely need a lip-liner with this as it is inclined to smear all over your face. I used the NYX wonder pencil to neaten up my lip-line after applying this quite thickly and it looked good, very glossy and very hydrating, almost balm like. However this didn't even last on my lips for the duration of a cup of tea, and transferred off the lips unevenly so I still had a thick ring of lipstick on the outside of my lips, and nothing in the middle. When applied lightly as more of a stain it is a little more forgiving and a lot less likely to mush around your face. Its creamy nature means that in a pinch you could use this as a cream blush by dotting across your cheekbones and blending well (more so for oily skins as this does take a little coaxing to blend on the cheeks).
Although I absolutely love the colour and the hydration that this lipstick has it probably wont warrant a repurchase from me. I think it is trying to emulate some of the other chubby type sticks on the market, but IMO is far too creamy to have any sort of fixing power particularly if you will be eating or drinking. I will continue to use on occasion but this is not one I'd repurchase in other shades.
I bought this lip product from postie plus,I am skeptical about it because the end keeps melting and going soft into mush,I have re sharpened it but it does not stay hard and the crayon goes soft and turns to mush when I try to put it on my lips,I may have bought a dud one but have re sharpened it twice and the crayon tip goes soft again,it's a lovely colour but I am still on the fence about it til I get hold of another one,
