At first glance, Catrice Made To Stay Smoothing Lip Polish looks more like a lip gloss than a lipstick even though it is described as having “the colour of a lipstick, the longevity of a stain and the shiny finish of a lipgloss.” I had a (bad) surprise when I opened the cover. There was no flock applicator. How on earth was I supposed to apply it? So I inserted a cotton bud and the end came off. It is like an applicator sucking device. Anyway, I managed to get some product out with a second cotton bud. The shade is Strawberry’s Secret, it’s a coral and quite nice.
If I had purchased this, I would be really mad and make a complaint to the distributor as the flock applicator should be firmly attached. It feels hydrating and soft. It doesn’t fade unless I have had a meal.

Same happened to mine! So frustrating!
Manufacturing defect! I wonder if more people had the same thing happen to them.
