I was not satisfied with Lancome lipsticks in the past. I had bought one that faded immediately, before a decade. But this one is very good. It is a bit expensive but worth its money. It is matte, moisturizing (no comparison to liquid lipsticks), has a good quantity, and a very nice color. I highly recommend it to those who have the financial ability to buy it. I have also bought the shade 505, which is lighter, and shade 89, which I also like a lot.
