It was a little tricky using the applicator (which is fairly large) to color my lips evenly. The colors are gorgeous! You can find these $4.00 online at Cherry Culture or in Ulta stores for $4.99, not available at Ulta online.
I used the DuWop Reverse Liner to hold the color for colors that are darker or more intense.
Gold Pink 131
The color is deeper and more of a wine than the photo shows.
Chandelier 157
This is really a gorgeous color. The picture doesn't do it justice. A really great light-medium orchid pink with a lot of sparkle. Every bit as nice as Too Faced; maybe not quite as sparkly.
Crystal Red 152
This is a beautiful red, shot with a lot of tiny glitters, more vibrant than this picture shows. I love it!
Ice Princess
In RL this looks pinker, but it is still very light. It has a lot of teeny sparkles in it, but you don't really see them on your lips.
Juicy Cherry
This is a clear cherry, with no micro shimmers.
Silver Plum
This is a deep plum with silver micro shimmers, which makes it look iridescent.
African Queen
This is a beautiful irridescent magenta.
How does it feel?
More glossy than some of their other formulas, but very moist. I tried it just by itself, but it would be nice as a touch over other lippies especially if you wanted to bring some bling into them.
Color story
It comes in a wide array of colors. I'd be willing to bet all of them are wonderful. Whoever is the creative director behind their colors gives other expensive brands a run for their money!
How about you?
Have you tried this formula? what colors do you have?
My recommendation
These are certainly worth your while to try. If you pick a color you know is you, then you will be very satisfied. Go for it!
Check on this post often, because as I try another shade, I will update the pix.
Karin
5 for color and applicator (all their applicators are good)
5 for moisture
4+ for gloss feel, a little slippery, but still nice, not sticky at all
4+ for lasting power, it might migrate a little, but not much
