My Favorite

Hourglass My Favorite Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a natural sheen. The color payoff was fantastic–opaque and even–with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that glided across the lips effortlessly but applied the color well. While it had a light sheen, the formula itself wasn’t slippery, so the color stayed in place well. On me, it lasted for five hours and was lightly hydrating.

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.).

You Can Find Me

Hourglass You Can Find Me Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a brighter, medium coral with warm undertones and a natural finish. The consistency was creamy, lightweight, and easy to work with as the color applied evenly and smoothly across the lips and never tugged. It yielded opaque pigmentation that lasted for five hours, while the formula kept my lips moisturized the whole time. I had a smidgen of color that pulled into my deeper lip line, though.

I Always

Hourglass I Always Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pink with warmer undertones and a creamy finish. It had rich, very-nearly-opaque pigmentation that applied beautifully across the lips and never tugged as it glided on. The coverage was even and adhered well to the lips, so it had good wear at five and a half hours. The formula was lightly hydrating and comfortable to wear overall.
