In the photo before applying the gloss, I have some tint left on my lips. They weren't very dry, but after removing the gloss, I felt a difference and my lips became smoother. Also, after applying the gloss, in the photo, my lips looked bigger lol, but I had to reapply the gloss several times to make the color noticeable. I can't to mention the wonderful chocolate-like smell and even the sweetish taste.
