Formula Overview
$10.00/0.15 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a "cross between a lipgloss and a lipstick" that is "moisturizing." The brand recommends using a lip liner with darker colors. It had the coverage of a lipstick with more of the feel and application of a lipgloss in my experience.
The majority of the shades have good opacity and are near-to or full coverage, which go on with minimal to no streaking but a few shades settled into my deeper lip lines more noticeably. The texture was more light-medium in thickness with moderate tackiness, and while not heavy, it was a heavier gloss than most on the market currently. It has a very smooth feel as it goes on, and it was comfortable to wear, hydration, and lasted longer than the average gloss--five to six hours.

I really love the dusty, not too cool-toned mauve color of this, but the formula doesn’t look as solid performing as their other shades. Then again, my own lip color would likely camouflage the whole lip line sinking issue. Deciding…🤔
I feel like this one has been out of stock for months! I still want it!!
I think I got it in the June 2022 bundle but was going to sell it on like Mercari or something if you’re interested?
Same!!
This. This is the color that’s horrifyingly unflattering on me. BUT, I’m so in to glossy and hydrating lip formulas that I’ll happily check out some other shades!
A moisturising lip cream in a more unusual shade and it looks comfortable to wear.
