Formula Overview

$42.00/0.11 oz. – $381.82 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be “ultra-pigmented” with a “matte” finish that is transfer-proof and wears for 16 hours. The majority of the shades were nearly to fully opaque in one layer, while they applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging. I noticed that they had a stiffer exterior for the first swipe (more so than the average lip product) but using them after swatches, they glided across my lips and had a velvety feel but were quite lightweight.

There was a very slight “set” to it as the texture felt a touch tacking when I pressed my lips together, but it didn’t lift or move the product around by doing so.

I’d describe the finish as satin or semi-matte, which then will wear down to a more matte finish as they are worn. I could see the formula lasting closer to 16 hours if one did not partake in any meals (maybe one very light, oil-free kind of meal). I felt like as soon as I had one meal, there was significant breakdown of the product. It wasn’t an issue with drinking water or my morning latte, though, and it was, in fact, transfer-proof.

For a product that claims to wear for 16 hours, I think that it surviving at least one meal is a perfectly reasonable expectation, but if you go that long between meals, you may find the wear to be longer on average than I did.

It had a powdery, floral scent that was noticeable applied for the first few hours, though I didn’t detect any taste.
