Got it in the shade Sayang, the colour is like Sunkissed but darker and more muted, more towards an autumn, grungy, earthy tone. The smell is not too overpowering, still acceptable but more towards the artificial side - like the raspberry flavoured medicine you give kids. The texture is very, very thick. While the balm is smooth application, this one has some resistance when spreading over your lips, especially if you're a "one swipe application" person. Thankfully not too sticky - only slightly, which is expected for a gloss, but not to the point where I feel like my lips are stuck together. Surprisingly moisturizing. I'm glad I gave this a chance.
