formula overview
$34.00/0.05oz. – $680.00 per ounce
The formula is said to have “10-hour wear time,” which is “one hit, instant payoff,” which is “transmission-resistant” and “lightweight” with “all-day comfort.” Those are some big claims, and while I think the formula is solid – lightweight, longer wear, and semi-opaque to opaque in coverage – they don’t quite last 10 hours (more like five to six hours). well, just not ridiculously long as claimed).
They have a light, rather velvety creamy feel which helped them apply comfortably without tugging and being somewhat forgiving of lip texture, but I would recommend a proper scrub before wearing. They were somewhat resistant to transmission, but lost most of that resistance after a meal, and they tended not to survive a meal as well in general (one reason they don’t reach 10 hours). The formula felt non-drying to barely hydrating, as comfortable as claimed.
It’s worth noting that they didn’t swatch as well on my arm, but applied significantly better on my lips, which I’ve noticed with more silicone-heavy lipstick formulas. They had no discernible taste or smell.
Note: The lipsticks come in a slim-style sphere, which is usually much smaller than the average lipstick (often around 0.07 ounces for a slim lipstick versus 0.10 ounces for a standard tube), but these are 0.05 ounces. a pop, so they’re pretty small.
