Exxotica

Pat McGrath Exxotica LuxeTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, dark purple with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips. The consistency was lightly creamy with slight slip but not enough to feel slippery on the lips, which allowed the color to adhere well and last for over seven hours on me. The formula was hydrating on me.

Formula Overview

$40.00/0.14 oz. - $285.71 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "intense color payoff" with "comfort" and "rich hydration" that has a "satiny sheen." Of the shades I've tried, they are richly pigmented, long-wearing, incredibly comfortable to wear from start to finish, hydrating, and generally flattering on the lips.

The texture was smooth, velvety, and creamy enough to glide across the lips with ease but never felt slippery or too clingy. Most shades performed exceptionally well, and while pricey, they at least lived up to a lot of the claims. There was no discernible scent or taste.

She's So Deep

Pat McGrath She’s So Deep LuxeTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep, red-toned brown with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with a touch more product (only needed in places). The lipstick felt very lightweight but had a light-medium thick consistency that sat well on the lips and applied without dragging or tugging on my lips. It wore well for eight hours and was moisturizing over time.
