There are really no negatives with this lipstick, especially for the price. The color, Nouveau Pink (511B) is a bright pink that is perfect for spring and summer. It is smooth, creamy and it did not dry out my lips. It also stays on very well. The one negative that I did experience was a little bit of smearing, but it was nothing major. When first applied, it has a glossy finish, but that goes way after an hour or so. But the color stays on a lot longer and it does not become too dry, which is a problem I have with a lot of inexpensive lipsticks. It also did not irritate my eczema, which was great. Wet n Wild has some really great products if you are on a budget, but want good quality. I just wish there were more colors to choose from. Wet n Wild is creeping up the list as one of my favorite brands. And one reason why is that I got 6 products today for $8.00. You can't beat that =)
