As I get older, I've started to prefer matte to glossy finishes, but I wanted a gloss for the first time in a while, so I bought this. The plumping effect makes my lips look plump and the moderate shine gives it a mature look. It does tingle quite a bit. It seems to contain menthol, ginger oil, and chili pepper fruit extract. What an amazing combination (lol). I have red lips, so I wanted to tone them down, so I chose 314 Sadie Coral. The orange hue increases depending on the angle, giving a beautiful three-dimensional look. The color isn't too strong, so it's easy to use with other lipsticks. It does have a scent, which is quite strong. I think it's a rose/floral scent. It's not too sticky and easy to use, so I think it's good, but maybe it would be better if it didn't have a scent?
