Maybe 3.5 stars? There are pros and cons to this gloss. First and foremost, it's not your standard shimmery gloss which I really like and the texture is quite smooth. Nothing wrong there but it did throw me off at first. They are relatively hydrating, though again nothing spectacular there. I also like the doe-foot applicator. I bought Diamond Walk and Via Condotti. Diamond Walk is a good basic day to day nude and doesn't settle into liplines. Via Condotti leaves a nice berry stain behind, even as the bulk of the gloss wears off. That said they smell like vanilla-infused play-doh, which I find really spoils my overall enjoyment of these glosses.

Really nice consistency and colour and it lasts so much longer than any lipgloss I've ever tried.
