Formula Overview
$45.00/0.12 oz. - $375.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "ultra-pigmented" with a "matte" finish that is transfer-proof and wears for 16 hours. The majority of the shades were nearly to fully opaque in one layer, while they applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging. I noticed that they had a stiffer exterior for the first swipe (more so than the average lip product) but using them after swatches, they glided across my lips and had a velvety feel but were quite lightweight.
There was a very slight "set" to it as the texture felt a touch tacking when I pressed my lips together, but it didn't lift or move the product around by doing so.
I'd describe the finish as satin or semi-matte, which then will wear down to a more matte finish as they are worn. I could see the formula lasting closer to 16 hours if one did not partake in any meals (maybe one very light, oil-free kind of meal). I felt like as soon as I had one meal, there was significant breakdown of the product. It wasn't an issue with drinking water or my morning latte, though, and it was, in fact, transfer-proof.
For a product that claims to wear for 16 hours, I think that it surviving at least one meal is a perfectly reasonable expectation, but if you go that long between meals, you may find the wear to be longer on average than I did.
It had a powdery, floral scent that was noticeable applied for the first few hours, though I didn't detect any taste.

Love the tone of Forever Passionate! And of course I would, since I have MAC VG I, and it’s that time of year for this one to get back into regular rotation. Only thing is, we are still required to wear masks when attending our meetings in person out of love for each other and anyone visiting with us at our Kingdom Halls for now. So red under a mask is a little iffy unless it’s a very dry one like MAC Ruby Woo or Siempré Selena.
These are pretty. Toooo pigmented for me as I like a sheerer lipstick but they are nice. Looks like holiday colors are coming right along 🎉
Forever Together is a perfect red shade….
They are both absolutely gorgeous, but $42 and they don’t make it through a meal? I am a lover of Dior (been wearing their products since the dawn of time, I’m a fossil), but seriously it would need to live up to ALL of its claims plus do some teeth cleaning or flossing or something…
