Amy Blush (518)
Gucci Beauty Amy Blush (518) Sheer LipstickGucci Beauty Amy Blush (518) Sheer Lipstick ($42.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with warm, reddish undertones and a luminous finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff that could be built up to medium coverage.
The texture was lightweight, thin, and emollient enough to glide on without tugging but not so thin that it clung, though it was best applied over just-exfoliated lips. It lasted well for three and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview
$42.00/0.12 oz. - $350.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "moisture-rich" with a "luminous shine" that "delivers sheer color." The brand went further and described the coverage as "semitransparent color with luminous shine." The shades had semi-sheer to medium coverage, often slightly buildable, so it was enough pigment to look like something when applied but definitely let the natural lip color come through (so your mileage may vary if you have more pigmented lips than I do).
The texture was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and had a light creaminess to it; the formula didn't feel as luminous as it looked, which was a good thing as it prevented the product from sliding around too readily. The most impressive part was that most shades applied evenly and didn't settle into my lip lines initially nor over time. The wear time was as expected, but it was shorter than more pigmented and less shiny formulas; most shades lasted between three and four hours. The formula felt lightly hydrating but not what I'd call "moisture-rich."
They have a moderate, sweet floral scent (the brand says "floral fragrance with violet notes and a soft, fruity scent"), and I felt like I occasionally could taste the fragrance, though it was a lot less noticeable and present compared to Gucci's original lipstick range (many years ago). I could definitely smell the scent with the product applied, so it was stronger than some formulas where the scent is only noticeable in the packaging/tube.

Love is Better (213)
Gucci Beauty Love is Better (213) Sheer LipstickGucci Beauty Love is Better (213) Sheer Lipstick ($42.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous finish–shiny without being truly glossy and shimmer-free. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and lightly emollient while being somewhat thin, just not to the point of feeling clingy.
It applied evenly with semi-sheer to medium, somewhat buildable color coverage that stayed on well for three and a half hours while feeling lightly hydrating over time.
