Formula Overview
$39.00/0.11 oz. - $354.55 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to deliver "high color, glazed shine, and balmy nourishing care up to 8 hours." It has a smooth, balmy consistency that glided on comfortably, melted a bit but didn't totally soften to the point where it made it really difficult to apply or keep fairly even.
For as glossy and emollient as the finish was, most shades went on evenly and didn't settle too noticeably into lip lines. They delivered semi-opaque to opaque coverage that lasted for four hours before fading away noticeably (but evenly). The hydrating effect lasted longer, and these did feel moisturizing while worn and for a little after.
They had a sweet, fruity scent but no discernible taste.

Positively YUMMY looking for more casual lip looks! Cacao No Boundaries and Beige Bliss are shades that I know I would use often. Red Crush makes me think of cherry jello! Very fresh red that doesn’t scream “red lipstick”.
I have a couple of these candy lipsticks. I absolutely love them, so much so, I bought the same color twice in Red Thrill. I never do that I get compliments as well when Iām wearing these. Holy grail status for me. Iām going to pick up that Beige Bliss and Red crush one. They look amazing on my lips, wear well, and last a good amount of time Love!
Beautiful colors with a gentle effect on the lips.
Wow – (and not in a good way unfortunately), these look so very very patchy.
The way some luxury brands (Guerlain also comes to mind. Particularly “Browny Clap” š) name shades is so funny to me. There’ll be the actual color it should be (unless…”Beige”?), plus a seemingly random adjective or phrase.
