Formula Overview
$25.00/0.11 oz. - $227.27 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "buildable coverage from sheer to medium" with a "gliding balmy application" that keeps lips soft. It has a stiffer, balm-like feel; and I say stiff without being a negative, just that while there's a lightly emollient, moderately shiny finish that one might associate with a lip balm, it had more substance to it and adhered well to lips without feeling like the product melted instantly on the lips.
The coverage ranged from sheer to semi-sheer and was buildable to medium coverage, as marketed, which was nice to see. Despite the sheerness and the shinier finish, most shades applied evenly without settling into lip lines and were fairly forgiving of lip texture/imperfections. The formula was moderately hydrating, comfortable to wear, and most shades lasted three to four hours on me.

Luz and Sublime look like very juicy lighter “nudes” that could still work for me! All 3 shades look great for summer. Or actually anytime.
The packing of these looks so nice!
These lipsticks look to be good value, and certainly better quality than some of the others we’ve seen in a similar vein of late.
