festive treat

I preferred last year's formula, though the gloss and new shades are nice (spec. 420, 720, 881 and 905) I see what they were going for. A very air whipped light formula but can cling to dry patches (lighter shades make that very apparent) so make sure to exfoliate before applying. I waited 2mins before smacking my lips together and the glitter came out nicely. Again, different from past years but still very pretty. The gloss gives it a nice vinyl-esque finish and is hydrating. I have 999 and 420 pictured below. 420 is surprisingly flattering.

Beautifully pigmented lip color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! The color is absolutely stunning and perfect for the holidays. The lipstick is pigmented and has the right hint of shimmer. It also has strong lasting power and stays on my lips for the majority of the day. I also love that there’s a little gloss attached to it so that I can do a glossy lip if I want to. The applicator itself is great and makes the lipstick and gloss very easy to apply. Overall, this is a good high-quality, high value lipstick that i’ve enjoyed incorporating into my make up routine.
