Full Fantasy

Pat McGrath Full Fantasy BlitzTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with strong, warm undertones and fine, barely-there gold pearl. At times, the pearl seemed noticeable but other times seemed to be covered up by the base color; it was less shimmer/pearly compared other shades in the new finish. The texture was creamy, smooth, and comfortable to apply and to wear, and it was a bit thicker compared to other shades as well (more cream-like). I noticed a touch of product gathered in my deeper lip lines but wasn’t enough that it was noticeable in person. It had opaque pigmentation that stayed on well for four hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$40.00/0.13 oz. - $307.69 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "one-stroke colour" with "ultra-reflective pearls" paired with a "silky" and "creamy" texture that yields "multi-dimensional shine." The pigmentation varied from shade to shade with more medium to semi-opaque pigmentation that "full coverage," and the amount of shimmer/glitter also varied significantly from to shade. For example, Blitz Trance has a very glittery look on the lips, whereas Flesh Fatale had a subtle, sparkling finish. They had a lot of shine, though, with being wet in feel or all that glossy, which seemed to linger for longer than the average lipstick--the shine didn't immediately dull after taking a sip of something or talking for a few minutes.

The consistency was lightly creamy with moderate slip, but it didn't feel too thick or heavy, so the color didn't slide around on my lips and adhered evenly for the most part. Shades that were more glittery felt that way in the tube as I applied them to my lips with the glitter being less noticeable on my lips, though those who may be more sensitive to glitter may find it at least somewhat apparent--at the very least, this formulation is not disguising the texture of all that sparkly goodness. They were lightly to moderately hydrating, comfortable to wear, and lasted between three and five hours. I feel like the best way to sum these up as: they're sparkling and luminous with medium, buildable color payoff that lasts an average length of time. They did not have any scent or taste from what I could tell!

Naked Kiss

Pat McGrath Naked Kiss BlitzTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and warmer, gold shimmer throughout. It had a more frosted finish, and I noticed there was slight product in my lip lines and more emphasis of my lip lines came through; the shiny finish camouflaged some of that in person. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and emollient without being too slippery. It had nearly opaque color coverage that adhered evenly on my lips. This shade lasted nicely for four and a half hours on me and was moisturizing to wear.

Emmanuelle

Pat McGrath Emmanuelle BlitzTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium-dark, pink-coral with soft, warm undertones and a fine, metallic pearl. It had enough lighter shimmer that it had a more frosted/metallic finish compared to some of the other shades in the new finish. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly in a single layer. The consistency was lightly creamy with moderate slip but was thin enough that it didn’t feel slippery while on. The finish seemed to highlight my lip lines slightly, though, but it had enough shine that it camouflaged the effect in most lighting. It wore well for four hours and was hydrating over time.
