Definitely buttery, LOVE that. Beautiful shade! I will definitely buy again. It's the red-brown shade I've been looking for. Perfect color. It stays on as long as any other lip.

The formula is at the top of its game. Lipstick should glide on your lips. That's the premise of Apollo. It is a fantastic expression of quality.

I've never had such a luxurious experience with a lipstick like this before. Not only does it last all day but it feels so good. This is my second purchase.

The Cherry Red 1935 is a gorgeous color! I love how smooth and creamy the lipstick, the smell is very pleasant, the color is stunning, and the fact that it's made in the USA is, surprisingly, one of my favorite factors.
