Method Overview
$26.00/0.1 oz. – $260.00 Per Ounce
The formulation is meant to have a “satiny easy, creamy” really feel that’s hydrating and has “medium protection.” The pigmentation was practically opaque or absolutely opaque throughout all shades I trialed, in order that they have been nowhere neear medium protection.
The feel was light-weight, creamy, and easy, they usually appeared extra liable to melting as virtually all of mine have been weak (angled or partially damaged) on the base. I would not have thought they have been THAT liable to breaking based mostly on the feel, although, as they did not have excessive slip when utilized to my lips.
The lighter shades lasted three to 4 hours and have been extra non-drying than hydrating for me. The mid-tone and deeper shades lasted 4 to 5 hours and have been equally extra non-drying than hydrating whereas worn. I would argue that they have been a bit “thicker” regardless of probably not being thick in really feel on my lips than the everyday bullet-style lipstick.
The formulation had a refined, candy vanilla scent however no discernible style.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to have a “satiny smooth, creamy” feel that is hydrating and has “medium coverage.” The pigmentation was nearly opaque or fully opaque across all shades I trialed, so they were nowhere neear medium coverage.
The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth, and they seemed more prone to melting as almost all of mine were weak (angled or partially broken) at the base. I wouldn’t have thought they were THAT prone to breaking based on the texture, though, as they didn’t have high slip when applied to my lips.
The lighter shades lasted three to four hours and were more non-drying than hydrating for me. The mid-tone and deeper shades lasted four to five hours and were similarly more non-drying than hydrating while worn. I’d argue that they were a bit “thicker” despite not really being thick in feel on my lips than the typical bullet-style lipstick.
The formula had a subtle, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
