Shiseido Cyber Beige, Bullet Train, Scarlet Rush VisionAiry Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Cyber Beige (201)
Shiseido Cyber Beige (201) VisionAiry Gel Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a darker, yellowed peach with strong, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single layer, which could have applied more evenly. It had a tendency to separate along my lip lines, which resulted in emphasizing my lip texture as well as settling into the lip lines.
The lipstick felt smooth, creamy and glided readily across my lips, but it set to a lightly tacky finish that wasn’t nearly as emollient during wear as it was during that initial application. It lasted well for four and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview
$26.00/0.05 oz. - $520.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "high levels of pigment" for "cushiony, comfortable, weightless color" that lasts for "six hours." They had rich color coverage in a single stroke, just as promised, and they were creamy and emollient, which made them comfortable and easy to apply on my lips.
The formula has a slight set to it where it is less emollient and clings slightly (but not uncomfortably), so it loses some of the initial slip, which ultimately helps keep the product in place better and for longer. Over time (about an hour or so), the shine wore down a bit and the consistency felt a little tackier, but most of the shades lasted for six to eight hours and some of the mid-tone and deeper shades made it through a meal adequately.
The formula remained comfortable to wear, kept my lips hydrated while worn but they often felt quite good even a few hours later after a shade wore down. There was no discernible scent or taste.
The biggest downside to the product is that each tube contains a mere 0.05 oz., which is absolutely tiny relative to most traditional lipsticks (contrast this with the also-just released ModernMatte lipstick, which is the same price but contains 0.14 oz.).

Bullet Train (202)
Shiseido Bullet Train (202) VisionAiry Gel Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a brighter, medium peach-coral with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, which built up to just shy of full coverage with a second layer, though I felt like it became more uneven and prone to streaking along the edges with that second layer.
The texture was smooth, creamy, and had moderate slip, which “set” slightly to a tackier finish with a softer sheen than it initially had. There was a bit of product that sank into my deeper lip lines as well. It wore decently for four and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Scarlet Rush (204)
Shiseido Scarlet Rush (204) VisionAiry Gel Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep, rusty red with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that adhered evenly to my lips with rich coverage delivered in a single pass.
The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth with moderate slip initially that developed a touch of tackiness after a minute or so of wear. The tackiness didn’t make it truly sticky or heavy to wear, but it helped keep the product in place for longer. It stayed on nicely for six hours and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.

Scarlet Rush is such a beautiful, rich shade! I’m over the moon for its “film noir” effect!
I thought for sure that I was going to want to buy Bullet Train, but I have MAC Ravishing, so I probably don’t need it.
Ravishing is such a lovely shade. I had it, years ago and have been thinking of getting it again, but with all the newness I forget about the permanents most of the time.
Scarlet Rush is one of my all time favourite shades, fortunately I have CP’s Gallop – but I still like this one.
Scatrlet Rush would be the only one I could possibly wear. I just seems dark for summer and possible too dark for my anyway.
Scarlet Rush is so beautiful. I have Olivia though so I don’t think I’ll get it.
