Packaging:
It's just the regular NYX plastic packaging. However, the lids are a little bit tight. Not sure if it will be loosen over the time, but it might take up some time just to open it up.
Texture and consistency:
It's super rich and creamy, easy to glide on and reapply throughout the day. I love it so much that I have been wearing it on days when I am not wearing Dior Lip Glow!
Coverage:
On one layer, it definitely looks more like a highly pigmented lip balm, but it is build-able, which allows you to build it up to be a full coverage lipstick.
Finish:
There's a definite glossy finish to this, but it's not 'in your face' kind of highlight. The shine will go off after awhile but you can blot it off if you don't like it, no big deal.
Staying power:
if you apply only a single layer, it doesn't really stay. But if you do layer it, it will stay on for about 2-3hours (including eating). I guess it depends on your own lips (and it's texture). For me most of the time it will stain my lips after applying a few layers, but sometimes I'll have to reapply throughout the day. I'm not sure if it's because I've been using more of the nude shade (Pops), therefore it's not that obvious if it's gone or if it's still on my lips.
For the two darker shades (Big Cherry and Licorice), it does stain your lips right after one layer, so you can just apply two layers for it to last a couple of hours. Of course, if you wish to get that full blown colour, do reapply whenever you can.
Swatch:
*Please pardon the poorly taken photos, as I am still learning how to take a good lips swatch! Photos are edited to show the actual shades.
Overall:
Will I repurchase? Yes.
Will I recommend to my friends? Yes, for the price.
