It's very reminiscent of a early 2000's lip gloss in the sense that it smells like watermelon and tastes like it. It's also very sheer with a slight pink tint. You cannot feel any of the shimmers that is in it. The glitter is really finely milled so there's hardly any texture at all. It's a perfect topper to any nude lip and it's not sticky or gloopy at all. I like that it's not gloopy but that does mean you will have to reapply often and just keep that in mind when you buy it.
