Twilo

Pat McGrath Twilo LUST Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium coral with warm undertones and a shiny, cream finish. The gloss had a smooth, fluid texture that was easy to work with and apply across my lips for even, semi-opaque coverage. It wasn’t tacky, and there was enough plushness to the formula that made it quite comfortable to have on. This shade lasted for four hours and was hydrating 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.

Paraphernalia

Pat McGrath Paraphernalia LUST Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark lavender with warm, pink undertones and faint blue pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that did not apply evenly, and there was slight color that gathered in my lip lines, too. The gloss felt smooth and was comfortable to wear, as it wasn’t too thick or too thin and didn’t have any tackiness, but I couldn’t get an even color application. It wore well for four hours and was moisturizing to wear.

Pale Fire Nectar

Pat McGrath Pale Fire Nectar LUST Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.15 oz.) had a peach-tinted translucent base with pink and violet sparkle. It had sheer coverage, which seemed a given based on how it appeared swatched and on the applicator. It gave my lips slight warmth, though, and a semi-sheer level of “coverage” through the sparkles. The consistency was smooth, non-sticky, and plush, which made it comfortable to wear and the sparkle nicely suspended so I couldn’t feel it when I pressed my lips together. The gloss lasted for three hours on me and was hydrating while worn.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Pale Fire Nectar and Twilo both look and sound wonderful! Glosses like PFN are perfect toppers, especially on days when this hot and very dry climate wreaks havoc on my lips. Twilo is so easily duped by UD Snitch, that I’d get the UD option if I see it somewhere like Nordstrom Rack.

So far, my favorite out of all PMG glosses is definitely Aliengelic. That’s the one I’m planning to buy.

That’s the one I’m going to buy as well. I might add one or two more, depanding on Christines reviews.
You have good taste, Nancy!

Thank you for reviewing these! I was keeping my eye out for Paraphernalia and you have saved me money!!!! I wish these were more glittery and applied evenly! I will just buy the colourpop glosses and call it a day lol
