I expected this product to be as expected and that is great because it is Covergirl.I gave it a 4 because the flavor is not the greatest-actually no flavor or fragrance except maybe just the chemical properties which don't taste fresh.The color was a little tan as compared to the orange in picture.I am enjoying my lipstick however!Thank you!I mixed it with a red tulip shade from another company which is never my shade and it created the most beautiful shade of frosted with a lovely elegant special pink! I do wear it alone and it is so soft and creamy! It glides on so quickly& I just glance in the mirror& it looks great!
