I Lust For
Hourglass I Lust For Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy coral with warm, orange undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, so it was buildable to full coverage just with a little bit extra applied as needed. The texture was lightweight, creamy with some slip but not enough to make it feel slippery on. It wore well for four hours and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview
$34.00/0.03 oz. - $1133.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "creamy, saturated, longwearing color with a satin finish." It's a light-medium thick formula that was typically opaque with a lightly creamy texture that glided on without tugging but did not slide around while worn. The majority of shades had a natural to satin finish, and they lasted anywhere from four to seven hours with light hydration. The best performing shades were light to dark while the lightest and deepest shades weren't quite as consistent.
The lipstick can be purchased with the full packaging/applicator for $34 or as a refill-only for $22. The refill packaging is substantial enough that it is usable on its own, as there's a detachable base that the refillable cap clicks onto (with an audible click), but they are very slim--and that's not a surprise given they only contain 0.03 oz. making them one of the smaller lipsticks on the market. Slim lipsticks typically contain around 0.07 oz. of product and are usually smaller than the average standard lipstick tube (which tends to be between 0.10 and 0.12 oz.).

I've Never
Hourglass I’ve Never Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a medium brown with warm, orange undertones and a cream finish. The lipstick had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that glided across the lips comfortably, while the texture sat well on the lips and did not gravitate toward my lip lines. It had good pigmentation–just shy of full coverage–that stayed on well for four and a half hours. The formula felt lightly hydrating over time.

These look lovely on you…and great eyes!
Thanks a lot, KJH!
Love the nude shades but like the other hues, they seem to be very dupeable! Love the dupe list you got especially the budget friendly brands that are on there!
Happy to help!
Glad as all get out that none of these are blowing my socks off! (Then again, I’m not wearing socks?) These are the sort of shades that have a zillion and one dupes across all price ranges. The only one that I know I could easily wear is I’ve Never. And with MAC Mocha and ABH Staunch, plus a possible Nicki Minaj nude as options, my wallet is happy!
It’s good to be safe 😀
All too warm for me!
Darn!
Holy moly that’s expensive.
It is!
They are pretty much all really good, no doubt about it
They are gorgeous on!
Lots more nude shades….. I am wondering when this fad will be over. Good quality lipsticks though.
It’s a full range of shades, so it makes sense that they would create beiges but they have a lot of mid-tones, too!
I’ve Never is my fave here!
Awesome pick, Katherine!
Wow, these look like perfect nudes for me!
