"All of our Lippie Stix formulas contain Vitamin E, Mango, Avacado & Shea Butter for added comfort & moisture - cuz we're cool like that. None of our Lippie formulas contain any nasty ingredients like Parabens of Sulfates. Glossy finish provides medium-full coverage, packed with moisture, feels extra creamy and buttery with a glossy finish. Satin finish provides full coverage, long wearing, glides on smoothly witha hydrating feel and has a modern satin finish. Matte finish provides full coverage, superrr long wearing, ultra-comfortable and seriously loaded with pigment in a matte finish. Hyper Glossy Finish provides full coverage and literally melts onto the lips, feels ultra creamy, super moisturizing with a glossy finish. Pearlized Finish provides a medium to full coverage with highly reflective pearls that give a pearlized finish."
The packaging is their signature white pen-style tube with a color-coded section on the bottom, as well as everything under the cap, to easily identify the shade. They have a vanilla scent that can be noticed on initial application, but it does fade throughout wear.
Baewatch is a medium-dark, muted rose plum with cool undertones and a matte finish. This shade applied smoothly, evenly and had mostly opaque color payoff. It had a creamy consistency that was comfortable and didn't feather throughout wear. Baewatch lasted +5 hours before fading. (5/5)
* Clinique Plum Pop was lighter, more pink. ColourPop Tulle was darker, more brown. Sephora Collection Marvelous Mauve was lighter, more pink. Stila Aria was darker, cooler, more purple.
Choker is a light-medium, peach beige with neutral undertones and a creamy satin finish. This shade applied smoothly, evenly and mostly opaque. Again, it had a creamy consistency that was comfortable, but I felt my natural lip color showed through lightly at times. Choker wore well for +4.5 hours before fading. (5/5)
* Kat Von D Noble was warmer, more pink. MAC Kinda Sexy was darker, more peach. NYX Flawless was cooler, more grey.
Mosh Pit is a medium-dark, muted rose brown with warm undertones and a satin-matte finish. This shade applied smoothly, evenly and opaque. It had nice, rich pigmentation and didn't feather or bleed over time. Mosh Pit lasted +6 hours and was lightly drying. (5/5)
* Bite Beauty Rosewood was lighter, more pink. Kat Von D Lolita was more pink, muted. MAC Hyper Fabulous (LE) was lighter, more gold, glossy. MAC Whirl was darker, more grey.
Out of Sync is a medium-dark, brightened fuchsia pink with cool undertones and a satin-matte finish. This shade applied smoothly, evenly and had rich, opaque color payoff. The consistency wasn't as creamy as the other shades, but it was still comfortable throughout wear. Out of Sync wore well for +6 hours and left behind a stain. (5/5)
* Kat Von D Bauhau5 was darker, cooler, matte. Kat Von D Sexer was more blue toned, metallic. MAC Flat Out Fabulous was cooler, more purple.
TGIF is a medium-dark, brick red with warm undertones and a satin-matte finish. This shade applied smoothly, evenly and opaque. It had nice pigmentation and a creamier consistency that didn't feather over time. TGIF lasted +6 hours and left behind a stain. (5/5)
* MAC Studded Kiss was darker.
Too Sexy is a medium-dark raspberry with hints of blue frost, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had a drier consistency that made it more difficult to apply smoothly, as the product tends to skip and drag on the lips at times. It had good color payoff that was buildable, but felt drying towards the end of wear. Too Sexy lasted +6 hours and left behind a stain. (4/5)
* Kat Von D Wolvesmouth was darker, warmer, more red. MAC Rebel was lighter, more pink.
Overall, this was a nice set—the limited edition shades are suitable for the fall/winter season, the matte and satin finishes are comfortable to wear and the price range is incredibly affordable.
