Lust Angeles

Pat McGrath Lust Angeles LuxeTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a soft, medium beige with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. I found this shade to be exceptionally hard to photograph–it always looked warmer in photos than in person. It had rich pigmentation that covered the lips with even, smooth coverage that stayed in place well. The consistency was smooth, velvety, and thicker without being heavy. The color wore well for almost seven hours and was lightly moisturizing.

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.

Unfaithful

Pat McGrath Unfaithful LuxeTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium plum with warm undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was fantastic–completely opaque in a single pass–and applied evenly and smoothly across the lips. The lipstick had a lightweight feel when worn, but the consistency itself was a bit thicker, which seemed to help smooth out my lip lines overall. It lasted for seven hours and was hydrating while worn.
