Ok, ok...after trying TTT I decided I don't just like it...I love it! I really didn't have application issues, but as I said before, it is dry and it did wear a little patchy on the center of my lower lip after a few hours. I still love it though; it reminds me of my beloved Kirsch mattene (I believe someone mentioned a comparison before in this thread), which I lost many years ago. Here's a pic of it on my lips. I'm shy, so lips only! All I used was prep and prime, no liner and a few swipes of TTT.
