Formula Overview

$26.00/0.18 oz. - $144.44 Per Ounce

The formula was supposed to "offer the shine of a gloss, the comfort of a balm and the impact of a lipstick" that also boasts "deep, silky" hydration. What was interesting about the formula was the texture; it felt more flexible, clingy--not in a bad way--and almost vinyl-like, as it was shiny but not traditionally glossy. It didn't look as thick applied as juicier gloss might, but it did have shine.

The shades had more semi-opaque to nearly-opaque coverage but one layer was the easiest to wear as a second layer often made the overall application worse. They applied fairly evenly but a few sank into my deeper lip lines just a bit. The wear ranged from four to five hours, while the formula felt hydrating over time. The gloss had a subtle, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
