This is that perfect bright Marilyn Monroe red. I have dark lips and some colors don’t look like their advertisement without first using a concealer on my lips but this red is perfect with or without. Super excited about this pop of color. I also have Moody- purple hue, I don’t like that. I have Squad goals-meh. Still didn’t give that natural pink I wanted. I have Group love-deeper and darker red that doesn’t pop, ok fall color but not on my complexion.Love the product. Purchased in shade Boys Tears and unfortunately more orange than red. Not for my skin tone but I will be purchasing more in a different shade!All of the colors are pinker and cooler than the official photos. I bought two shades, Pop Quiz and Teacher's Pet. Pop Quiz looks like a standard berry red, but it's very much a dark rosy shade that I just can't wear without looking crazy. Teacher's Pet looks amazing on me, but it's a peachy-pink nude on me rather than a warm terracotta.Wacky colors aside, I think this is an excellent formula and packaging. It feels very comfortable on my dry, textured lips and is more blurring than most powder-matte lipsticks. The applicator style lays down product in buildable sheer washes of color, rather than a thick layer that is messy to blot down like most liquid lipsticks. This the truest powder-matte "lip tint" that I've ever tried and I highly recommend if you can sort out the shades.I use best buds, its perfection. To describe this lipstick is so hard, its like the texture of a liquid lip with lip balm with ??butter? It’s fantastically smooth and lasts long!If you like using Matte type lipstick this is just like it but in a tube with a built in applicator which is nice because you can apply just enough and not make a mess. Now I don’t have to worry about it melting in my purse or car in the hot climate in the summer. I’d buy it again!I was sent the wrong shade originally (I ordered best buds and got sent pop quiz, which idk how you make that mistake), but they immediately corrected it and very shortly I received the proper shade and was allowed to keep the original. I noticed immediately the lack of safety plastic, but there is a clear way to tell it's unused at least product wise as the first time you have to press for a few good seconds before you feel product begin to seep into the sponge, so I assume you are breaking some internal seal. Also, if the puff isn't white when you receive it (pure white - not even some color coming from the inside), it has been used. Both I was sent were entirely unused and I felt no worry about tampering. If you did you could sanitize the tip in a uv sanitizer or with alcohol and let dry fully before breaking the seal and applying.I am not a big fan of pop quiz on me, which is why I didn't get it originally, but best buds seems to be my personal my lips but better color, just as I hoped. It is so lightweight you won't realize it's there and if you get a shade like I did close to your natural lip shade, you won't need a liner and it will be perfect for no makeup makeup. I was concerned the product would be streaky but even the very dark color pop quiz gives even color when applied. I would not trust it to stay on all day though as it smudges and comes off just as you would imagine eyeshadow applied to your lips would. It is a powder cream and acts like it. Overall I would definitely recommend and I will be purchasing again when it runs out.Uugghhhh I absolutely love this stuff! The color doesn't matter! I think I'm reviewing the baby pink one, but the picture is of Detention. I love the applicator, makes it super easy to make the edges even. It's not sticky, it lasts forever and doesn't transfer very much after it's dried. I seriously think I have this in almost every color. Not to mention they sent me 3 bby pinks when I only ordered one LOL I hope this stuff never gets discontinued!!!I was searching for a replacement for my Melted brand lipstick color (discontinued). The color of this lipstick was very close and the quality was pretty amazing for the price. It feels nice on my lips and lasts pretty long. I would buy it again.Very confused with all the positive reviews as there is nothing good about this lipstick. Colour is not as on the picture, not even close, very hard to apply, it comes off easily and stains everything you accidentally touch. No no no. Such a waste of moneyNot a terrible lip colour to apply, it is a bit dry and transfers easily but my main issue is the colour. I bought Squad Goals and it's VERY pink, not at all how it looks on the picture or what i wantedNice colour, easy to use.Nice easy application. Lovely bright colour. Nice finish. Doesn't dry your lips.I didn’t think I would ever like anything other than a traditional lipstick. This applies so smoothly, stays on all day and lips don’t feel dry. I am converted so I bought another in a different shade.
