Brunch Queen

LORAC Brunch Queen Alter Ego Lip Gloss ($17.00 for 0.13 fl. oz.) is a light-medium lavender with cooler undertones and fine pearl. It had semi-sheer color payoff that applied evenly on the lips–as in the color did not show streaks–but pulled into every lip line I had, so it did not look that great on its own. The texture was smooth, creamy without being thick, and comfortable to wear over the three hours it lasted on me.

The Alter Ego Lip Gloss formula is supposed to offer “highly pigmented” color with a “soft, vanilla scent.” The four new, limited edition shades for spring are more pastel, and as a result, they tended to suffer from a milkier consistency that was prone to settling into my lip lines. They had semi-sheer to semi-opaque pigmentation with average wear (three hours). The formula had a sweet, vanilla scent, was mostly non-sticky, and lightly hydrating.

Foodie

LORAC Foodie Alter Ego Lip Gloss ($17.00 for 0.13 fl. oz.) is a light-medium pink with warm undertones and fine gold pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied decently, but there were some noticeable streaks and color that gathered in my lip lines. The settling did not seem as apparent with this shade as it was with the others, though. The gloss felt creamy, lightweight, and mostly non-sticky. It wore well for three hours and was lightly hydrating.

Barista

LORAC Barista Alter Ego Lip Gloss ($17.00 for 0.13 fl. oz.) is a light-medium peachy orange with warm, golden pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied without appearing too streaky, but the paler color showed how much it settled into my lip lines. The gloss was smooth, light-medium in weight, and easy to spread across the lips. On me, the color wore well for three hours.

Pastry Chef

LORAC Pastry Chef Alter Ego Lip Gloss ($17.00 for 0.13 fl. oz.) is a brighter, light-medium pink with subtle, cool undertones and fine, lavender pearl. The pearl was so fine (but plentiful!) that it gave a nearly metallic sheen. It had good pigmentation, though not opaque, that covered the lips with even coverage without streaking, but there was noticeable color in my lip lines that made it less-than-flattering applied. The consistency was easy to spread across the lips, comfortable to wear, and smooth. This shade wore well for three and a half hours and was hydrating.
