I received these lipsticks within 48 hours of ordering them. I love the colour which is vibrant and true to advertising. They are very smooth to apply and look fantastic - however - they don't last unfortunately. So, an expensive item to purchase if you need to keep applying it all day. This product is advertised as if it is the be all and end all of lipsticks - wrong, there are better out there. However, because of their beautiful and unique colours I am going to give Lime Crime's Pink Velvet Velvetine Lip Colour a try - it is supposed to be very long lasting - we shall see!
