Formula Overview
$24.00/0.13 oz. - $184.62 Per Ounce
It's supposed to have "sheer coverage" (that can be built up) with a "soft shine finish" and be hydrating. The shades ranged from semi-sheer to medium and buildable in their pigmentation, but there was a fair amount of variance from shade to shade.
The texture was lightweight, balmy, and had moderate slip, which made it comfortable to apply and to wear. There was a touch of product that settled into my lip lines, but it wasn't enough to be noticeable--for most shades--from a normal viewing distance or even as the product wore away. I also felt like the formula was fairly forgiving of lip texture.
Unsurprisingly, they had shorter-than-average wear for a "lipstick," as that balmy feel came into play. Some shades lasted as short as two hours while the longest was four hours, which wasn't the no rm. I found the formula to be lightly hydrating overall.
The formula had a subtle, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Bikini Blaze is perfect for quick run types of days. Super pretty, too! Even if I had to reapply it, it’s one that looks very easy to do so with, so I may get this shade.
Any lipstick that has the word ‘Cinnamon’ in it, immediately arouses my interest – being one of my most favourite lippie colours, but this one is a pale imitation of what a cinnamon lipstick should be.
Bikini Blaze looks like a lip product I would like a lot, unfortunately this type of product doesn’t last long at all for me, so even though I don’t mind reapplying I stay with more opaque products for my lips.
This is lust worthy pretty though.
