Formulation Overview

$8.00/0.17 oz. – $47.06 Per Ounce

The system is meant to have “medium buildable protection” that has a “smooth, subtle” impact. It is a extra amped up tackle their Blotted Lips idea or a barely “washed out” tackle their Extremely Matte/Extremely Satin vary. The system is far thinner–almost weightless–and spreads evenly with a single layer. I would argue that almost all shades have been usually nearer to semi-opaque somewhat than medium and buildable–and I used solely what was on the doe-foot applicator to use (with out going again for extra) for each high and backside lips.

The consistency was airier, gentle, skinny, and spreadable with a smooth dry down that did not really feel prefer it was wholly locked in (like Extremely Mattes) however had considerably much less switch than a standard lipstick (and even the Ulta Satins). They weren’t essentially the most forgiving of lip texture or lip traces, however they have been extra flattering than most formulation I’ve tried which might be comparable in impact and protection. Some shades had extra of a matte end shortly after utility whereas others had refined shine that wore right down to a matte end inside an hour or much less.

Longevity ran wherever from three to 6 hours with some shades leaving refined stains behind, and the system felt principally non-drying for me. It had a candy, vanilla scent however no discernible style.

Formulation Overview

The system is meant to have “shine” with a “cushiony smooth” texture that “hydrates lips.” The model is not clear on how pigmented or how sheer the system is meant to be; they as an alternative they’ve the “excellent quantity of color multi function.” Primarily based on what I can infer from promotional photos, their advertising and marketing, and typical lip gloss claims (within the business), gloss is often sheerer protection somewhat than opaque, so primarily based on that, I will likely be ranking on the expectation of medium protection.

The system has a clean consistency that was extra like a gel-cream, because it felt denser (“cushiony”) with out being heavy or cheesy. I did not really feel like they have been essentially the most forgiving, although, as most shades settled into my lip traces to a small diploma. The protection was sheer to semi-sheer, which resulted within the shades wanting extra comparable on than they seemed within the tubes (the preliminary line-up might have been rather more numerous in consequence). They lasted between two and three hours and have been moisturizing to put on.

There was no discernible style, they usually had a candy, sugary scent.
