This gloss comes in simple yet elegant packaging, with a frosted plastic base (sheer enough that you can see the colour of the gloss) and matte charcoal coloured lid. The lid of the doe foot applicator has the signature metal plate with becca embossed into it.
The doe foot applicator is small, which makes application quite precise. Unfortunately though the applicator is small enough that it doesn't hold a lot of product- this means that you need to dip the applicator back into the tube a couple times to get full coverage on your lips. Not only is this a little annoying, but it also means that you are pushing air and bacteria into the tube twice or thrice as often as you would with a tube with a larger doe foot applicator.
The formula is definitely more sheer than opaque- my preference for darker glosses. The colour Maraschino translates into a wearable red with a hint of brown. This is definitely a colour I could wear everyday without looking too 'done', but you could also layer this over a red lip if you wanted a bolder look. I did find this slightly sticky, but not annoyingly so, and this lasted about two hours on my lips. I found this wore evenly without staining my lips or leaving a ring.
All in all I am happy with this gloss, its something I can wear comfortably any-day and it feels nice on the lips. The only barrier from repurchasing is the somewhat dry applicator and the price (I purchased mine on sale).
I am officially in love with Becca products and their glossy lip tint is no exception. The bottle is very sleek looking with a chocolate brown, matte rubberised feeling cap and a hard plastic tube with the Becca branding on it. Sleek, stylish and very on point for the modern beauty diva - the perfect accessory for your handbag. The product itself has a really nice pleasant scent and the formula is really nice - it goes on smoothly and blends really well into your lips. The gloss gives a lovely and healthy shine to your pout with just the right amount of colour. The formulation is also not overly sticky (if much at all) so it's very comfortable to wear and lasts a few hours before you need to re-apply. These glosses/lip tints are definitely one to add to the collection of lip products. Love it!
Tips: Put a dab of lip balm on your lips first for protection and extra moisture. This will also help the gloss to stay put longer and give a nicer finish (especially if you're like me and suffer from severe dry lips).
