Neon Apple

Anastasia Neon Apple Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was great with nearly opaque color coverage, while the consistency was creamy and easy to spread across the lips. The only issue I had with this shade was that the consistency was thicker and "lines" were visible if I pressed my lips together. It wore well for just over five hours, though, and it was hydrating while worn. Christian Louboutin Beaute Altressa (P, $85.00) is lighter (95% similar).
