I Wish

Hourglass I Wish Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a light peach with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentaiton in a single layer that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips without dragging. The texture was very lightweight but was thicker than the average lipstick, and I did have a bit of color that pulled into my lip lines with this particular shade. It wore well for four hours and was lightly moisturizing.

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 pcakaging/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.).

One Day

Hourglass One Day Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had good color coverage that spread evenly across the lips and applied comfortably as it did not tug. The consistency was lightly creamy, thicker but felt quite lightweight once on, and did not slide around. There was a very subtle amount of color in my deeper lip lines, but it was not noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade lasted for four hours on me and was hydrating.

The First Time

Hourglass The First Time Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a soft, light-medium coral with warm, orange undertones and a cream finish. It had good pigmentation, though it was just shy of opaque coverage. The lipstick felt smooth with a light creaminess as it applied to the lips–just enough creaminess that it did not drag or tug on my lips but still adhered evenly and stayed in place over time. It lasted for four and a half hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.
