Faux Pas
Surratt Beauty Faux Pas Lip Lustre ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a yellow-tinted translucent base with fine iridescent and gold sparkle. It had sheer coverage, which was anticipated to a degree–it was marketed as a “sheer, non-sticky gloss that builds intensity with each coat”–but it was sheer and only had had semi-sheer “coverage” in the form of shimmer. It did not build up, and it was nowhere near non-sticky. The texture was smooth, light-medium in thickness, and quite tacky, which did help it last for four hours on me, despite being rather sheer.

Je Ne Sais Quoi
Surratt Beauty Je Ne Sais Quoi Lip Lustre ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a light, pinky lavender with fine violet, gold, and iridescent sparkle. This was an interesting shade, as the base stained my lips a deeper fuchsia within a few minutes (even the applicator appeared stained!), but that’s not something advertised as part of the formula. The texture was smooth, tacky, and somewhat spreadable but thick and tacky enough that it took a bit of maneuvering to get even coverage. It had sheer coverage that was buildable to semi-sheer coverage that lasted for five hours on me and was hydrating over time.

Oh La La
Surratt Beauty Oh La La Lip Lustre ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a milky peach base with iridescent and gold flecks of sparkle. It had sheer coverage, which wasn’t buildable, and only a smattering of sparkle–it added slight warmth and lightened my natural lip color just a bit. The texture was tacky and harder to spread, but it was comfortable to wear over time. It wore well for four hours and was moisturizing.

Voila
Surratt Beauty Voila Lip Lustre ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a pale, transcluent gold base with flecks of iridescent and gold sparkle. The gloss lightened my natural lip color slightly without making it appear warmer or cooler. It had semi-sheer “coverage” in the form of shimmer, but it did not appear that sparkly in person–more of a shiny product than shimmery. The texture was sticky, medium in weight, and took a little more effort to spread across the lips. It lasted for four hours and was hydrating.

If not for the fact that I do have CP Ponyland, I *may* have had some interest in Je Ne Sais Quoi. But that’s it. These are a bunch of overpriced (IMHO) dupes for MAC’s $10 Clear Water that I can easily pick up at Nordies MAC counter,!
I wish these had a little more sparkle to them – Surratt is way more expensive than MAC regardless, so the price point isn’t a surprise, but I think that they need more of the sparkle content to be differentiated between each other!
I want them all ?. I have been so so into these kinds of lips lately. Nice, sheer and glossy.
Aww! I swear, you really only need one. I regret having all four, lol!
You And Nancy brought me back down to earth! Ahaha!
I have had a mini MAC Clear water in my cart for a while, i think I’ll get that instead!!
They look very similar, not a lot of color difference. Don’t think these are worth it to me.
Will you be reviewing the new Baton Rouge dual ended lipsticks, Christine?
Sorry, I don’t have those.
