I really like berry lip colours. This is definitely one of my darkest shades. It's hard do the gradient look with this, as this dries quickly so it's challenging to diffuse it. I will have to figure it out. I am just basically on the hedge about this because I do like that it's a really rich and dark, but it's really drying and it's kind of hard to work with. I am holding out hope that I can work around it.
