apt. 5's cosmetics have the prettiest packaging, in my opinion. it's all clear acrylic, very simple. i loved the blush, so i decided to get a gloss at duane reade. i realized i have no clear ones, so i picked this one up. it has the best smell ever. it smells like vanilla. when i put it on, it went on very little, which i liked. when i tried to build it up, it would go on nicely and wouldn't settle into the lines on my lips. however, it's pretty sticky. i'd say it's like lipglasses. i could deal, though. i'd definitely repurchase and i'd purchase other colors, as well.
