Formula Overview
$32.00/0.05 oz. - $640.00 Per Ounce
The formula is described as having "vivid" color in "one effortless stroke" with "comfortable" wear for six hours. It had a smooth, creamy consistency that was lightweight, moderately emollient, and comfortable to apply and to wear. The formula delivered mostly opaque to full color coverage in one layer, as marketed, though six-hour wear was the aspect it didn't live up to.
It felt like a typical, creamy lipstick formula (I don't say that in a bad way!) so it not lasting six hours wasn't a surprise, but most shades wore well for four hours and were moisturizing while worn. The lipstick applied evenly for the most part, had a more luminous finish (both shine and pearl), and wore for four hours in most cases. The formula felt hydrating while worn.
The biggest downside was the slim packaging only accommodated 0.05 oz. of product, whereas traditional lipsticks contain around 0.10 oz. on average.

Peek looks lovely! And would be perfect as a year-round dark peachy-coral on my complexion!
Concur!
Gorgeous everyday kind of lipsticks – I really like Love – and found that Maybelline’s Mauve for Me is a perfect dupe for it. No wonder I loved the colour!
So perplexing that the marketing and imagery (damn computer-generated “swatches”) for this formula don’t make it more obvious how shimmery it is. The sole mention of “light-reflecting, vivid pearls” in their description would not adequately prepare someone who hates frosty lips!
