TTT makes my toes itch trying to apply it. But I LOOOOOVE the color. I think the texture of it made me decide not to BU it. I can work with a dry lipstick, but for some reason that one was SO dry it applied too patchy. Even with lip balm and liner it still patches up on me.I agree, I sure wouldn't mind if these were Retro Mattes...just as long if they weren't as dry as TTT. lol
