First off, I was really impressed with the packaging. I've never seen anything like it, and besides an interesting appearance of mirrored cyan packaging, the texture is also very unique - however, it still has the same shape as M.A.C's signature bullet lipsticks. The product mechanisms are working perfectly fine as well.
The product itself was also very nice! The color I have is "Siren Song", and according to M.A.C, it's supposed to be a "lustre" lipstick. Texture wise, it's very creamy and balmy, which makes it easy to apply. However, according to my personal experience, it is highly recommended that you have your lips moisturised before application. I didn't moisturise my lips with a layer of lip balm, so a lot of cracks were visible upon application. (it also has a very strong sweet vanilla smell!)
When worn by its self, it makes your lip color look slightly translucent due to how sheer the lipstick is. It leaves a frosted finish on your lips. The great thing about this product is that it's also very versatile, so it's great for layering on top of other lipstick colors (this is how I like to use it) to mute strong colors and give it a frosted and shimmery finish. Overall, I liked it, and I'm really impressed with the results!
