The packaging was just like that of the regular sized lip gloss. There is a little doe foot applicator inside that you use to put the product on. It's a bit longer than the usual which makes it great for getting better precision around the lips.
I was surprised by the fact that it dried like a lip stain, which is a big plus for a date knight when there is lots of talking and eating. The one thing I noticed is the scent. Now, I'm not saying it's unpleasant but there is some form of scent to it but it dissipates once it's on the lips and dried. As for buying the full size, I'm still on the fence about that. What do you guys think? XOXO
