Pretty, but...
Kinda messy.  Not a very precise application, but once I pulled the cotton off the end and let it drain into a small glass jar (intended for tiny beads, with a screw on lid) I was able to use my lip brush and save the leftover amount.  Less was wasted, it doesn't dry out and the colours are pretty.  The wear is typical for a lip stain.
