Venom Lip Gloss is a little tingly when you first apply it and it plumps up your lips in a playful way. If you are using this with other lipsticks apply it first, apply the lipstick and then apply it again for a glossy finish. My favorite color is "love in a mist." It is neutral enough to be used with other lipsticks or you can just use it on its own for a natural look. This tube usually lasts me over a year and I use it a couple of times a week.~The Rebecca Review
