Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, almost black hair with natural silver highlights

What lip products are in your bag? I haven’t worn lipstick in a week because I have a cold, but I always have a tube of Milani Color Fetish Matte Lipstick in the shade Secret in my bag as a backup. It’s such a perfect neutral shade for me.

Last lip product you finished? I can’t remember the last time I actually finished a lipstick!

Last lip product you purchased? Back-to-MAC probably doesn’t count, so I am pretty sure it was Rouge Dior Matte in 625 Mitzah.

Skin Tone/Coloring: Neutral, leaning warm

Lip Products in my bag/On my desk: Just clear Vaseline gloss, I only put in colored gloss if I’m going out and will need to reapply. I never reapply full lipstick because it builds up and looks weird.

Last lip product you finished: I can’t recall finishing a single lip product — they’ve either gone off (expired) or gotten lost. Actually, I once finished a NYX Butter Gloss sample in Creme Brûlée, but that was it

Last lip product you purchased: I repurchased L’Oreal Tropical Coral, which I quite like as a summer color but misplaced over a year ago

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

What lip products are in your bag/on your desk? In my bag I have a couple of lipsticks: Maybelline’s Spice for Me, Mauve for Me and Nude by Nature’s Garnet.

Last lip product you finished? The last lip product I finished – apart from EA’s Lip Fix, was a Maybelline Spice for Me lipstick (I have several backups)

Last lip product you purchased? Now that’s interesting, because I have just put in an order from CP purchasing Party Mix, the one you reviewed the other day. Before then, it was the CP Clay Nice set – including Trending, Drama Much and Gallop. All are fabulous.

Your skin tone/coloring: fair olive, warm mid tone brown hair and eyes
What lip products are in your bag/on your desk? Only ointments! I use products like Vaseline, aquaphor, bag balm, etc as lip balms. I almost never ever wear lip makeup- as much as I love the look on others, I can’t ever remember to apply it!
Last lip product you finished? Cevere healing ointment
Last lip product you purchased? An elf glossy lipsticks! I had high hopes I’d wear it but instead accidentally left in the pocket of my jeans and dyed my husband’s shirts all pink. Oops 😬

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
What lip products are in your bag/on your desk? in my bag – MAC Craving; in my desk – Kiehl’s Simply Rose Butterstick, Burt’s Bees Red Dahlia Tinted Lip Balm, Clarins Gloss Prodige in Grenadine (long discontinued but still good) and a mini of Fresh Sugar Rose lip balm (these are all in my desk at home; at school, I don’t have a permanent desk so only what’s in my school bag – another tube of Burt’s Bees Red Dahlia).
Last lip product you finished? MAC Craving
Last lip product you purchased? Smashbox Stylist (in a search for something to replace Craving; it’s a nice lippie but it ain’t no dupe for Craving!)

Your skin tone/coloring: Yellow-neutral (PML LM13 or MAC NC37ish)
What lip products are in your bag/on your desk? (An old MUFE Rouge Artist Palette still hanging in there due to constant disinfection as my current purse is not very large and it’s super flat and small.)
Last lip product you finished? Only one or two YSLs lippies, such as a KISS one – can’t remember the color, but it was a champagne beige and a gloss (they did the best for me until Fenty).
Last lip product you purchased? it’s been a while and I’m certain I should change out my lip products more often, but as long as they don’t smell, change color, change texture and I disinfect them, I hold on to them. But to answer the question, I think the last one was the Fenty Poutsicle (stain-type, which I can’t even find where I put it!!! Ha!)
