NET WEIGHT:
Lipstick - 2.5g

SHADES: Available in 13 shades.

PROS: 
* my initial impression of the lipstick is that it looks kinda drying, but I'm surprised when I tested it on my lips, it's so creamy and pigmented!

* non-drying

* smells so good! Reminds me of freshly baked cookies =D 

* I'm really impressed with the staying power, it lasts for more than 5 hours on my lips (as long as you don't eat anything oily)

* travel-friendly (no need to bring separate lipstick and lipgloss)

* easy to apply

NEUTRAL:

* based on the description it says that the lipstick has a "matte" finish. To me, the texture reminds me of MAC Satin Lipsticks.

CONS:

* the glitters in the lip gloss are a bit chunky. It is hard to remove and tends to scatter all over your lips when not removed properly.

* the gloss is kinda drying when used alone.

TIPS:

* You can use makeup wipes or ordinary wet wipes to completely remove the lipcolor and lipgloss.

* Moisturise your lips well prior to application.

OVERALL: 

I love the scent, texture and staying power of this product.

If you are looking for a 2 in 1 product that you can easily carry around, I highly recommend you try this one.
