One of my favourite lip glosses. Truly not sticky. Keeps my lips hydrated and looks super pretty. I own two shades "oat" and "coconut" I love oat, works well for my pale skin. However coconut is a bit too red for my preference and I don't think it suits me. I love it so much I'm considering buying "pistachio" or "sesame".
