This companies' products have worked well for me in our hot, dry climate. They keep shine where it's supposed to be and a finished matte look everywhere else. I had high expectations for this product and was not disappointed. For value-to-price, the tube is quite large and elegant looking. The gloss didn't look cheap and tacky on and weird as it sounds, the product was almost cool and refreshing to put on. Almost like drinking very chilled water, but not unpleasant. A good purchase, although the color swatches are slightly off, unless you're an ice blondethey will work fine. Just a LITTLE darker than they actually appear--
