This tint has a glossy, non-sticky texture. The smell is sweet, but it is pleasant. I got the color "Spring Glass" and it is very sheer, even after several layers. It looks orange in the tube, but it is actually a peachy color on the lips, but it is not opaque. If your lips are naturally pigmented, I am not sure it will show on your lips. I like the product, but I do not enjoy this particular color.
