This is great because it works with some of the 'odd' lipstick & lipgloss colors that I have. It is also much cheaper than the Sephora one and it works just as well.I have this lipliner in hot pink, nude and mauve - they are all beautiful and long lasting, the best lip liner I've had.broke the first time i tried to use it. color was good, but it crumbled. not worth the hassle to return.I thought it was black but its like a red looking color.I mean i'm not very experienced with makeup of any sort so I might just be doing it wrong but for me this was very difficult to apply, it didn't glide at all in fact it really pulled at my lips which kind of hurt (and my lips shouldn't have given any reason to pull as i'd just exfoliated them and they were soft as hell). I can't speak for lasting ability as I havent had it on that long but so far I'm not so impressed
