Anastasia Pastel Pink Lip Gloss ($16.gloss00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a milky, light pink with a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that went on surprisingly evenly, though some of the color slipped into lip lines; it really applied better than a lot of similarly-hued glosses in my experience, though there is still room for improvement. This shade wore well for four hours and was hydrating while worn. MAC Pink Fade (LE, $21.00) is more muted (95% similar). Urban Decay Obsessed (DC, $19.00) is less pigmented (90% similar).

Anastasia Peony Lip Gloss ($16.gloss00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy pink with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. The texture was smooth and easily spread across the lips, but there was faint streaking and a bit of color welled in lip lines. It had nearly opaque pigmentation, though, and lasted for a solid four hours. Urban Decay Obsessed (DC, $26.00) is lighter (95% similar). Anastasia Blushing (-, $16.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Edward Bess First Kiss (P, $30.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar). MAC Go for Girlie (LE, $20.00) is warmer (85% similar). MAC Viva Glam Nicki (LE, $21.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). Urban Decay Lovechild (PiP, $19.00) is warmer (85% similar). MAC Kittenish (LE, $20.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar).

Anastasia Rio Lip Gloss ($16.gloss00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is an intense, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a cream finish. It was mostly opaque with just a faint bit of the natural lip color still coming through in some places. The consistency was a little thicker than other shades in the range, but it didn’t feel heavy or goopy on. Similarly, it applied fairly well with only a smidgen of streaking along the edges, as it seemed to self-level overall. The color lasted for five hours on me and was moisturizing over time.
MAC Ultramarine Pink (LE, $30.00) is lighter (95% similar). NARS Priscilla (P, $26.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). Urban Decay Scandal (DC, $26.00) is lighter (90% similar). Anastasia Barbie Pink (-, $16.00) is warmer (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Anastasia Lip Gloss ($16.gloss00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is supposed to be “opaque” with “high-shine” that’s “non-drying.” It is one of the more pigmented lipglosses out there that has a smoother, more cushion-y consistency that typically spreads well across the lips. Some shades gather in lip lines, and some shades apply streaky; it seems more common with lighter shades and milkier colors. The formula is non-sticky initially and develops slight tackiness over time. My experience from wearing the formula is that they are often lightly to moderately hydrating and wear three to five hours. They have a vanilla scent that isn’t too overpowering nor does it linger once applied (I notice it mostly in the tube).
