I've been meaning to buy a nude lipstick for a long time now and saw this product. I thought it was so cool because its in a crayon or pencil shape! I bought it in the color 'Charm' and was so excited to try it out! I am so unbelievably disappointed with this product. I put it on after I had on chap stick and it actually dried out my lips! I've never had a product do that before! For being so pricey compared to all the other lip sticks sold by Revlon, I was expecting much higher quality! But it doesn't stop there! Oh no! It CHANGED COLOR! It became a dark very unflattering orange-y color. I thought maybe it had to do with the cold that it changed color so I tried it again after getting home, and it did the same exact thing! I would not recommend this to anyone. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
