Sephora Twolips, Wanderlust, Yum Yum #Lipstories Lipsticks Review, Photos, Swatches
Twolips (14)
Sephora Twolips (14) Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium fuchsia pink with cooler undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was good, but the application wasn’t as even as other shades, and I noticed that this particular shade seemed to adhere less smoothly. The texture was creamy with moderate slip, which might have been why the application wasn’t as good as other colors in the formula. This sahde wore well for four and a half hours but settled into lip lines a bit, left behind a slight stain, and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.14 oz. - $57.14 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "lightweight" with "full-coverage color in one swipe." The majority of shades were pigmented with semi-opaque to full color payoff in a single layer, as described. The more shimmery shades tended to be a bit sheerer overall, while the mattes and creams were usually closer to opaque in coverage.
The textures were typically creamy, lightweight, and not too thin or too thick on the lips, so they were comfortable to apply and to wear. There were some shades where the color pulled into my deeper lip lines upon application, and it was more or less noticeable just depending on the color and finish of the particular.
Some shades seemed hydrating and others were non-drying. They lasted anywhere from three to over six hours on me. There was a subtle, sweet, fruity scent (I couldn't detect it on, just in the tube), and I haven't noticed any taste after wearing them.

Wanderlust (33)
Sephora Wanderlust (33) Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep burgundy with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had a soft sheen that mattified within an hour of wear. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and creamy enough to glide on easily but not enough to feather on me (though I’m not prone to feathering). It had good pigmentation but did not have full coverage in a single layer, and the color itself went on fairly evenly. The lipstick stayed on well for five hours and left a subtle stain behind, while the formula was lightly moisturizing.

Does anyone know if these have a scent/taste?
I posted that info under “formula overview” 🙂
Yes, I saw that about 2 seconds after I posted, sorry! I’ll read more carefully next time.
Thanks Christine 🙂
No problem! 🙂
Obviously, I’d really be drawn to Wanderlust and Yum Yum! These are (predictably) my kinds of shades…so I really better scan the entire dupe list for both before I go and grab one up.
I have Wanderlust and I really like it.
Love Wanderlust and Yum Yum – great shades.
Does anyone know where these are made in?
Italy!
Oh I love Yum Yum! I’ll have to check it out in stores and pick it up!
Yum Yum is perfectly named – it looks like a rich melted chocolate – delicious.
I love how bright Twolips is. Yum Yum is a really pretty shade.
