Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lip Duo Review

I like the color of Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lip Duo Sparkling Berry because it matches a dress I'm wearing to my daughter's graduation next week, however....It's very expensive! $25.00 and I've decided that it's not worth the money. I'm going to return it today. Why does the clear gloss feel so gritty on my lips?? Shouldn't it feel smooth? It's driving me craaaazy!!! I applied the color at 8:00AM this morning and by noon it looked cracked and only on the outline of my lips. I'm very disappointed and will try the Max Factor Lipfinity. I'm unhappy with this product and will return it for a refund.
