Formula Overview

$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have semi-sheer, somewhat buildable coverage with an "ultra modern, comfortable, and luxurious texture" that "feels smooth, light, and pleasurable on the lips." The pigmentation was semi-sheer and buildable, as described, with semi-opaque coverage achieved after two to three layers of product.

The lipstick had a smooth, waxier, balm-like feel, so it had a thinner consistency and glides on easily. The texture was prone to catching on any imperfections I had on my lips, and I had to ensure my lips were well-exfoliated prior to applying. The waxiness helped prevent some transfer onto glasses, too. It has a lightweight feel, is comfortable to wear, and was lightly hydrating over the four hours they lasted for. There was no discernible scent or taste.

Formula Overview

$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "100% full coverage with a demi-matte finish and weightless feel." It's a silicone-heavy formulation, so it had glide without feeling wet or slippery on the lips. To me, it has more of a velvety feel that's featherweight, thin but not in a clingy, drying kind of way, and goes on without dragging.

The thinner nature of the formula combined with the more matte finish means that exfoliating prior to application is important for best results; this was more noticeable in Rainbow Spill (less forgiving) than Skyscraper Rose (which was more forgiving). They wore between five and six hours on me, left faint stains, and were non-drying to barely hydrating. They had no discernible scent or taste.
