Formula Overview
$25.00/0.2 oz. - $125.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "intense color and instant'shine" in a single layer, while still being "comfortable to wear" and moisturizing. The brand also claims that it will wear for 16 hours, be transfer-proof and resistant to both water and food. The brand says to shake the tube prior to application.
I'm happy to report that the formula actually lived up to its claims! It was incredibly long-wearing where 16-hour wear was absolutely within possibilities, though I'd say that two greasier meals did start to break it down more noticeably (so around 12-14 hours, depending on eating schedules). It was food and water resistant; I didn't see any marks left on my glasses while drinking my morning lattes or water throughout the day. After a meal, it had almost no transfer and was very much intact on my lips except for the very inner area after an oil-heavy (pesto!) lunch.
They had rich color coverage that applied evenly, was fairly forgiving and not prone to settling noticeably into my lip lines. The liquid lipstick felt lighter and was thinner initially, but it set to a slightly clingy, more satin-like sheen after about 30 seconds. I noticed that it felt less clingy after about two hours and was very comfortable to wear. It didn't seem to dry out my lips at all after wearing the product for multiple days in a row.
It seemed unscented and had no discernible taste.

Stunning! It’s a shame that I just cannot pull off such a cool toned lipstick all that well. Learned my lesson with KVD K-Dub ELL, which made me look green!
My bad! I just went and looked at the side-by-side comparison of Crushing against K-Dub, and Crushing is nowhere near as cool-toned as K-Dub. So yes, I can do Crushing!
Whilst the shade colour isn’t for me, it’s vibrant, creamy and it rates well.
This is lovely!
I do love cool fuchsia tones, and this is a beauty.
I have Girl About Town, but it’s getting old. It it shouldn’t be available, who knows with all the DC’s MAC is up to these days, I think I have a clear winner in this loveliness of a lip colour.
I feel like I already have a hot pink in this formula.
Beautiful. I have two of the listed dupes, MAC Girl About Town and Dior Ultra Daring. I really like the look of this one and as usual, will add it to my list to check out.
