darker than the image, 2 Aug. 2013

The gloss is a lot thicker and darker than imagined, but it still suits. I usually have problems with allergies, but this seems to be fine. My lips also feel well moisturised.

Great brand and product, but think something happened to mine, 8 Aug. 2015

Not sure if it's faulty or missing a part, I have ordered this product before in a different colour and there is a clear well at the top that fills on first use, and also prevents the stem and handle getting covered. When I received this product I found this part was missing. I only really wear Rimmel lip products (idk) and it seemed a bit disappointing, I put this down to just a faulty/missing component of the packaging and will try to apply with a lip brush in future.I purchased Nova (on the right) and as a comparison is Across the Universe (on the left).The product itself seemed alright, the colour was very bright (that was to be expected) and very creamy. But the smell was a bit weird, sort of like vegetables.TLDR - Reasons unknown mine leaks and the product has gone everywhere because it hasn't got ....something that all my other ones do

It looks as though it'll give that awful "concealer lips" look, but luckily once it's on, that's not the case.

I did find my lips became dry and sore after use, but not nearly as badly as with other lip products. I think mine might just be a bit overly sensitive. Staying power was decent enough and I personally didn't experience any bleeding and smudging.

Some people have complained about the scent being similar to that of steamed or rotten vegetables. It is a strong smell and for me, I definitely could smell it and even taste it the whole time of wearing it. However, as far as I'm aware, it's supposed to be an apple peel scent. And that it exactly what it is, it does not smell like rotten vegetables. Personally, I still don't like that so while I'll...
