I was so bummed that the color I wanted (Simulation) was out of stock but I kept checking back and luckily found it. I received it quickly and of course had to try it out right away. LOVE IT! It's the perfect nude and it makes my lips feel hydrated. Yes, it is soft but the trick is to twist the product up so it just meets the lip of the tube. Any more than that and you risk it coming off all over your lips. Originally posted on www.maccosmetics.co.uk
