She's Heaven
Pat McGrath She’s Heaven LuxeTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm rosy undertones and a cream finish. The color payoff was incredibly rich with opaque coverage in a single layer (frankly, less than a layer would have been opaque!). The consistency was smooth, velvety, and was just creamy enough not to tug on the lips when applied directly from the tube. It seemed to make my lips appear a little smoother overall. This shade wore well for six hours and felt hydrating on.

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.

Profumo
Pat McGrath Profumo LuxeTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium pink with soft, warm undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was fantastic, and the color applied evenly and smoothly across the lips, but the added slip to this particular shade made–marginally so!–less flattering on the lips compared to other shades, as there was slight settling into my deeper lip lines. It was easy to apply, never tugged, and it still adhered well to the lips and yielded six and a half hour wear that was moisturizing over time.

Apricult
Pat McGrath Apricult LuxeTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark coral-orange with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The texture was denser and a little thicker compared to most in the LuxeTrance formula; it felt a little more velvety like the MatteTrance formula does. It was still comfortable to wear and easy to apply, but it felt stiffer initially as I pulled it across my lips. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for seven hours on me and was lightly hydrating. There was just a smidgen of color that pulled into my deeper lip lines that wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance.

All very pretty but your eye makeup is killer. I wish I had your skill at eye looks. You are so talented. I wasn’t sure about the Natasha Denona Crystal Top Coat but the one you used here is really pretty and does not look textured. I am sure that is your skill.
Lovely lipsticks – and beautiful shades.
Now, I know PMcG really only means Italian for perfume, but Profumo IS a shade from the time of the Profumo scandal. That was so salacious at that time. Profumo resigned in 1963. Real similar to a shade I had in a set with revlon naked pink. It was too dark for me, then. Makes me laugh to think that, bec now it’s 15 shades too light!
I like and considered getting Apicult . But I see I have 4 dupes
Gosh, but Apricult looks awesome on you! And, unfortunately, it won’t be coming home with me because Tilt and Cozy are already much loved favorites in my stash.
She’s Heaven is one that I definitely put on my WL, though. It’s such a nice, toasty shade that immediately made me think of hot cocoa!
She’s Heaven is in my Sephora basket as we speak…..wondering if I also need Donatella? I probably do…
Wow they all look great! I like She’s Heaven the most, I’ll have to see if I’m going to end up purchasing it.
This entire line is killing me. I ordered Profumo with Rouge sale and now I want She’s Heaven. I like how it looks well-balanced between brown and rose lippies… think I could pull off his off well despite being on warmer side
She’s Heaven is well-named…such a beautiful shade! And your eye makeup is to die for, Christine!
