Coral Confession

BUXOM Coral Confession Bold Gel Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.09 o z.) is described as a "satin coral pink." It's a light-medium coral with warm undertones and a hint of pink and very fine micro-shimmer. It has a little more shine to it than a true satin finish (to me), but it wears down to satin within an hour or so. This shade had good pigmentation with a lightweight consistency that turns creamy as it heats up against the lips (from the bullet). I did have trouble with the color pulling into lip lines somewhat after two and a half hours of wear, but the creaminess of the formula made it so I could press and rub my lips together to even it back out again. It wore well for four and a half hours in total and was lightly hydrating. MAC Modern Wow! (LE, $19.00) is lighter, brighter (95% similar).
