Formula Overview
$10.00/0.12 oz. - $83.33 Per Ounce
The formula that is supposed to be a "creamy-matte" that "glides on like butter, doesn't feather or bleed, and lasts so long you'll forget you're even wearing it." The majority of the shades were quite pigmented with full color payoff in a single stroke with a few in the more semi-opaque coverage range.
The texture was, on average, smooth, lightly creamy, and not too thick or too thin, so there was no tugging during application but the color didn't feel slippery while worn, which made them easier to apply straight from the tube and low-maintenance on the lips.
They tend to dry and wear down to a soft matte finish within one to three hours of wear, and while they are very lightweight on, they hug the lips more as they become more matte (compared to initial feel). The wear time has been between four and six hours for most shades, and most shades were non-drying to lightly hydrating. They were vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.

Ivar is exactly my type of shade. Don’t care what time of year, either. Just love deep vampy shades like this.
New Boo is a bit disappointing. But with my having Nars Siouxsie, I’m covered for this shade of rich burgundy.
Stunning deeper shades, though I do wish Boo was little better quality.
I know CP gives a lot of their products random names but Ivar seems like an odd choice, even for them. Was this originally part of some strange Vikings collection?
Ivar is gorgeous!!!
Ivar is a beauty! Yes, yes, I have dupes but I still want this one, I mean, I only have two dupes, and maybe they’ll go off and then…
OK, I don’t need it, but it’s on my WL in case any of the dupes do go off, or I actually manage to finish them.
Ivar, THE vamp !
