Formula Overview
$25.00/0.2 oz. - $125.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "intense color and instant'shine" in a single layer, while still being "comfortable to wear" and moisturizing. The brand also claims that it will wear for 16 hours, be transfer-proof and resistant to both water and food. The brand says to shake the tube prior to application.
I'm happy to report that the formula actually lived up to its claims! It was incredibly long-wearing where 16-hour wear was absolutely within possibilities, though I'd say that two greasier meals did start to break it down more noticeably (so around 12-14 hours, depending on eating schedules). It was food and water resistant; I didn't see any marks left on my glasses while drinking my morning lattes or water throughout the day. After a meal, it had almost no transfer and was very much intact on my lips except for the very inner area after an oil-heavy (pesto!) lunch.
They had rich color coverage that applied evenly, was fairly forgiving and not prone to settling noticeably into my lip lines. The liquid lipstick felt lighter and was thinner initially, but it set to a slightly clingy, more satin-like sheen after about 30 seconds. I noticed that it felt less clingy after about two hours and was very comfortable to wear. It didn't seem to dry out my lips at all after wearing the product for multiple days in a row.
It seemed unscented and had no discernible taste.

Well, I suppose I just hit the makeup lottery today, because between this PERFECT lipstick and that About Face Get Some, that’s a lovely match-up!
I seem to have something similar in Sephora Spring Break so I’ll just wishlist this for now. Anything exceeding 12 hour wear is not something to sneeze at though.
Very pretty colour – and it looks quite good to wear too,
I waited for this one to come back around Christmas since it went out of stock really fast, and I’ve waited after wearing it a few times before commenting: it’s fantastic!
It really lasts that long, it really resists eating, and when it finally does fade, it’s in a nice way. To top it off it’s a great colour for me both for everyday wearing and nights out, so I’m super happy I got it.
For Maggie, I have spring break as well and I find them quite different: spring break is a lot more on the pink/mauve side and PDA more on the dark coral/brick side if it makes any sense.
