Formula Overview
$45.00/0.2 oz. - $225.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "ultra-intense, ultra-matte, longwearing lip colour" that "fuses" for "lightweight" and "comfortable coverage." The coverage was more semi-opaque than "ultra-intense," but the finish was flat, matte after the product dried down. A second layer could be applied for more pigmentation (once the initial layer set).
The initial texture was thin, more watery and fluid than I expected, and it almost seemed more like a blotted effect after it dried down. The product had marginally more stretch and flexibility to it after dry down, so it was more comfortable to wear and felt very lightweight on. I would recommend exfoliating prior to applying this formula to ensure a smoother application.
They lasted between five and six hours and felt non-drying for the most part. There was a very subtle, floral scent but no discernible taste.

I love both these colors and if they were a lipstick tube I’d grab one of them but putting lip products on this way does not appeal to me. I’m in the car alot and I need to snap off the cap and toss it on. They are pretty though !
These two look a lot more pigmented than the one reviewed the other day. But I think they are popular shades that can be purchased more inexpensively from either Maybelline or CP.
Tentation is right up my alley, but I do still have UD Tryst. So, that is covered.
However, as I look at Gourmandise, I’m thinking that I don’t have a soft, yet still impactful pink like this. I may be wrong, but I don’t think so.
