This lip oil is exactly what I was wanting. It's a beautiful cool toned dark purple but still sheer, so if you have pigmented lips it may peek through a bit, but it's a beautiful color. Can be worn on it's own, with a lip liner, or any other way you want. The scent is a ginger, herbal smell. It's strong smelling on the doe foot but fades after a few minutes of wear. The formula is very smooth and not sticky. Thinner formula but plenty of cushion and hydration on the lips. Wears evenly and you can still feel the hydrating residue after the color is gone. I bought Black Thorn and Dark Thorn, and I love them both! As someone with chronically dry lips the dark pigment does settle a tiny bit into my lip lines, but I find most products do that anyway. Lovely product, perfect for fall!

The formula wears comfortably. My thoughts on this shade are divided. It's quite pigmented and the color is beautiful. I've been playing around, trying it by itself and with lipsticks. My favorite so far is on top of concealer lips. That gives a grungy glossy look. It's not the most convenient shade of the lip oil for me because I'm very pale and I need a mirror to apply this shade because it's dark. I suppose that's to be expected, though.
