Big mistake. The color and the packaging are ok. But it dries out the lips EXTREMELY, just like the one from Maybelline. And while it doesn't come off at all, it somehow peels in the middle of the lips. Very annoying. Overall, it leaves a feeling as if you haven't drunk water for 5 days. I don't know how so many people wear these matte long lasting ones. Maybe it just doesn't work for me. Every time I end up putting on clear lip balm

First of all, I didn't read anywhere that it is plumping, but it is a bit irritating at first. The color and its performance are excellent. However, even with proper hydration beforehand, it feels a bit heavy on the lips. Nevertheless, it doesn't last as long as I would expect. It lasts a few hours, but with food or drink it starts to peel off/disappear from the inside. I have to say that its longevity is better than other mattes, but for me, it's not worth the dry feeling it leaves. Overall, it is an average matte lipstick.

Very nice and intense color, does not dry out the lips, has very long lasting wear. 4/5 stars only because a competing lipstick has more longevity and doesn't come off even with food, unlike this one which does come off.

Very good, leaves a light feeling on the lips, does not dry them out and when it dries, it is hard to remove. I just wish the shade was a little darker.

Very nice and vibrant the color. For the duration, I'm not sure yet but it comes recommended from a friend who told me that it is stable and lasts quite a while.

It has a very strong smell that I couldn't stand, and I had to take it off as soon as I put it on. It seems like it would be more moisturizing than the previous Rouge signature line, which I really loved, but the smell was so intense that I threw it away the moment I tried it for the first time. If possible.
