The Amuse Bouche formula is supposed to have “bold, creamy” color with “extreme moisture.” Mistletoe is a new, limited edition shade for the holidays, so it’s not at all a surprise that it’s a variation on a red. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was firmer initially as I set it to my lips, but it started to melt enough to glide on without tugging after two to three seconds. The color went on evenly, and I didn’t have any issues with the color feathering or migrating past my lip line over time. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.
