In-Depth Look at the Lip Color Formula

$26.00/0.1 oz. – $260.00 Per Ounce

This lip color formula is designed to deliver a “satiny smooth, creamy” sensation while providing hydration and what is typically described as “medium coverage.” However, my testing revealed that the pigmentation of all the shades I tried was nearly opaque or fully opaque, indicating that the coverage level is significantly higher than medium.

The texture of the formula is notably lightweight and creamy, offering a smooth application. That said, I did notice that the lip colors seemed to be more susceptible to melting, as many of my shades arrived with a weak base, appearing angled or partially broken. Interestingly, despite this fragility, the texture did not exhibit high slip when applied, which might lead one to think they would be sturdier.

When it comes to wear time, the lighter shades typically lasted between three to four hours, providing a non-drying experience rather than intense hydration. In contrast, the mid-tone and deeper shades performed slightly better, lasting four to five hours while also being more non-drying. It’s worth noting that these shades felt somewhat “thicker,” even though they don’t have a particularly thick sensation on the lips compared to the average bullet lipstick.

A subtle, sweet vanilla fragrance accompanies the formula, enhancing the application experience without any noticeable taste.
