Sephora Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) 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.

Sooo many of these landed on my WL that it isn’t even funny! My favorite shade also happens to be the highest rated one: Deep Water Bay. Another must is Pinapple Express, because the name and the shade!
Cannot help but LMBO whenever I see the shade “Ouch”, though! 😂
kjh
Between this and the CP Luxes, no matter what your color family preference, anyone can score favorites at a super price point. I got golden gate and after hours based on my own impression (seldom done,) and of course now have DWB and others for an albeit small S sale list. This recap is beyond timely. (Esp after finding that most of my deep yens are brand.com exclusives.) With your blog, there is no excuse for subpar stash. Thanks so much.
I have two: Pineapple Express and Brunch Date. I haven’t worn Pineapple Express yet, but Brunch Date goes on very creamy and stays put for hours. The only negative about it is the color is a bit too yellow for me. I want Oui next.
These are really all over the place, but I still found several I like.

Fireside and Malt Shake are my absolute favourites. Generally a pretty good range for the price. Thank you so much for the reviews.
I’ve been on a metallic lip kick lately and hauled both Coconut Grove and Hong Kong by Night–I love them both!!
What a great range, performance and price point. Matinee and Spring Break have caught my eye.
