Secret Lover

Pat McGrath Secret Lover LUST Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and golden shimmer throughout a cream-like finish. The consistency was smooth, gel-like, which gave it a plusher, more cushion-y feel, and felt non-sticky. It had nearly opaque pigmentation–as described–that covered my lips evenly and smoothed out most of my lip lines. It wore well for five hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$30.00/0.15 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "multidimensional shine" with a "non-sticky texture" that "nourishes" with "exceptional adherence." The opacity ranges from "opaque to transparent." The color coverage really does vary quite a bit, but most of the shades I've tried are sheer to medium in coverage--the brand could be clearer on which shades are opaque.

The consistency has a smooth, lightweight texture that wasn't tacky and was comfortable to wear. For the most part, they didn't seem to sink into my lip lines, which can be a pitfall of gloss. I didn't find the wear time to be better than average--three to four hours--but the formula was moderately hydrating. There was a subtle vanilla scent but no discernible taste when worn.

Sunset Rose

Pat McGrath Sunset Rose LUST Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium coral with warm undertones and a moderate amount of gold sparkle. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was close to as it was described (“medium”), that applied fairly evenly but a bit of product sat in my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The gloss had a lightweight, gel-like consistency that was comfortable to wear and non-sticky. It stayed on nicely for four hours and was hydrating over time.

Wicked Whisper

Pat McGrath Wicked Whisper LUST Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium peachy-coral with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which wasn’t quite the full coverage anticipated, that adhered with minimal streaking, but there was product that sat in my lip lines, and it did not appear as smooth as most shades in the range. The texture was non-sticky, smooth, easy to spread, and comfortable to wear as it felt plush without being heavy. It stayed on well for four hours and was moisturizing while worn.
