when the item FINALLY arrived, I was very pleased. I'd watched a youtube video in which a girl recommended MAC's Snob lipstick and she was my complexion (brown skin) so I thought I would give it a try. It was perfect! I have never been a lipstick type of girl until I noticed a new trend of nude, pink, and bright red lipstick that I really liked so I decided to jump on the "lipstick band wagon". I'm very glad that I bought this product.
