Pure Color Melt-On - Lesk na rty

Good

I bought this in the shade Melted Scarlet, I have a cool olive pale complexion, so I was looking for a more cool toned shade, but this one proved flattering as well. I was impressed by how pigmented it is, you don't need as many swipes as the product listing suggests to get coverage. From the first touch it left a rich colour, more so than cheaper glosses would. The formula is moisturising which I appreciate. However, as beautiful as the case is, I found it to be impractical for application. Since you cannot retract the tip after clicking it out, I felt limited as I was concerned about letting too much out at a time, and thus found it difficult to apply it precisely to my lips, which are on the smaller side. If I went over an area multiple times to get it covered, the product would get lifted away, so getting the right shape was hard. It also doesn't have as long a lasting power as the lip gloss released by Estee Lauder in the Christmas edition box of 2023, I was hoping this gloss would be similar to that one which was perfect.

not a clever design

The colour itself is very nice, soft and shiny but the application is terrible. I had no idea that I had to read how to use a lipstick before i opened it and i clicked it more than I should. It now cannot be retracted so it sticks out and will surely be damaged. Very impractical and poor design that does not make sense! The photo also shows it as very retracted and its misleading because if you do this then you are wasting it. I wish i could get a refund as it was very expensive too.
