Formula Overview
$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have semi-sheer, somewhat buildable coverage with an "ultra modern, comfortable, and luxurious texture" that "feels smooth, light, and pleasurable on the lips." The pigmentation was semi-sheer and buildable, as described, with semi-opaque coverage achieved after two to three layers of product.
The lipstick had a smooth, waxier, balm-like feel, so it had a thinner consistency and glides on easily. The texture was prone to catching on any imperfections I had on my lips, and I had to ensure my lips were well-exfoliated prior to applying. The waxiness helped prevent some transfer onto glasses, too. It has a lightweight feel, is comfortable to wear, and was lightly hydrating over the four hours they lasted for. There was no discernible scent or taste.

Je Ne Sais Quoi looks so lovely for summertime! Might run a little too light for me, but I really do want it.
On the flip side of the coin, Rosy Shell just looks ‘cheap’ and lacking.
Je Ne Sais Quoi is the more pigmented and ‘interesting’ one out of the two because of its complex coral undertones. A good one for summer.
Yikes, these look very different from the swatches on her site- glad I waited, these would be terrible on me. Thank you Christine!
I feel like I’m going to wind up getting Je ne Sais Quoi since the Go Lightly lipstick is “the one that got away”. I worry it might be too warm or something but…I couldn’t get Go Lightly and it looks like it is never coming back.
I also quite love the look of Rosy Shell—probably because of my coloring and my general preference to have quieter lips (unless coral lol). That said I am not sure I could justify getting it atm. I wish I could teleport to the UK and swatch it in person. C’est la vie.
Good Morning !You can always do a virtual try on of Lisa Eldridge’s new lipsticks on Instagram. Just go to filters and search drest Lisa Eldridge Mood.
She will bring back Go Lightly. It’s just, like the blushes, the date keeps getting pushed back over and over. Go Lightly and Je Ne Sais Quoi aren’t similar at all. GL is much lighter and neon, also with a patchy formula. JNSQ is quite deeper and muted, a more brown undertone. Check out Nars License to Love, that’s close to Go Lightly and cheaper. HTH!
