I just got this NYX gloss a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a LITTLE sticky in a long-lasting way (not thick and tacky). It just looks like a squeeze tube but the applicator has that brush that's on a pen-tip, but this is way better because it's a squeeze tube so it's always reliable. Tho I prefer a slant applicator so I can use it without a mirror.It is VERY sheer, so expect that. It has little shimmers in it which is good because it's not frosty. It's very natural, you don't have to worry about having too much gloss on in the wrong color. I know that I can apply this and eat or drink a little and I'll still have some of this on my lips. You can wear it over a matte lipstick to brighten it up, I'm sure.

I love the texture of this gloss! I'm not thrilled w/ the color though. The color is a true beige w/ tiny color shimmers in it. This color doesn't show up on me due to very pigmented lips-it just looks more like a clear gloss on me. The staying power is good and it leaves my lips moisturized but not sticky. The applicator brush tip is awesome, it really does a good job in blending the gloss on the lips. I love the packaging too, very slim.
