Formula Overview
$15.00/0.06 oz. – $250.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a “super glossy, high shine” finish that takes a “pigmented kiss of color” and puts it into a “nourishing lip balm format” paired with a “deliciously fruity scent.” The formula is housed in a click-style pen, and you’ll want to be careful about dispensing too much product as it melts like… butter. I found that using a lighter hand to apply gave me the best results as it was very easy to over-apply.
The shades were pigmented, creamy, and had a high-shine finish as promised, and it did feel like a cross between a lipstick and a lip balm. Despite being so glossy, as long as I didn’t over-apply the product, I felt like it stayed in place well, wasn’t prone to feathering on me (though not something I’ve experienced that often, regardless of formulation), and had a touch of tackiness that likely helped it from getting everywhere.
It wasn’t particularly long-wearing, but several shades lasted a solid four hours on me, and the formula itself was hydrating. There was a sweet, fruity scent but no discernible taste.
