Pink Dahlia (14)

Sephora Pink Dahlia (14) Ultra Shine Lip Gel ($14.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a vibrant, fuchsia pink cream with slightly warm undertones. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied smoothly and fairly evenly. The consistency could have been more forgiving for lip lines, though I didn't notice it from a normal viewing distance (but in the close-up, you can see what I mean). It lasted for four hours on me and was comfortable to wear. Jouer Rodeo (P, $17.00) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Kiss & Don't Tell (LE, $21.00) is lighter, cooler (95% similar).
