What I like about it:

• Packaging is simple and on point.
• ​It's highly pigmented so you don't need a lot to cover your lips.
• It dries fast.
• It doesn't transfer once it dries.
• It doesn't stain on your lips.

• It's unscented which is a plus if you have a sensitive skin like mine.
• The tip of the wand applicator is flat and pointed making application easy especially when lining the edge of the lips.​​

​What I don't like about it:

• ​Contrary to its claims, it will dry your lips after a few hours.
• It emphasizes the cracks on my lips after it dries even after using a lipbalm before applying it.
• Just like the others, it cannot stand heat. It doesn't transfer but the part that gets in contact with hot water breaks apart.
• The fibers of the wand applicator wore off easily. It hasn't even been a month since I started using it.

I was looking for a new color to try that day when the saleslady offered me the BYS Velvet Lips Liquid Lipstick. I kindda like the color the first time I swatched it at the back of my hand and at the same time, it doesn't feel dry. Then again, you never really know if you're happy with the product unless you wear it all day long.
​
​Will I purchase another? Probably I'll pass.
