Formula Overview
$27.00/0.1 oz. - $270.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "feather-light" and dry down to a "flattering finish that lasts all day." It is described as "smudge-proof, budge-proof, non-drying, with no chalkiness or crumbling." It is a lighter-weight, thin, spreadable liquid lipstick that dries down to a matte finish that doesn't feel heavy nor sink noticeably into deeper lip lines.
The pigmentation varied from semi-opaque to opaque, but in general, they weren't as boom! pigmented as most liquid lipsticks are on the market. For those who prefer to sheer out or use this type of product as a stain, that might be a major plus. The texture was very thin but spreadable and easy to work with.
Most shades lasted between five and seven hours on me and felt non-drying over time. They wore away gradually/flatteringly, and they were resistant to transfer until a meal.
As far as a formula by Lisa Eldridge, I did feel like this particular formula wasn't as innovative or as interesting as past releases have been. It felt comparable to other, more modern liquid lipsticks that dry down to a matte finish that have been released.

I am not sure why but I almost purchased Rain and it isn’t in my preferred colors but I saw it on a poster and thought wow, what a gorgeous color. I would purchase if I thought it would look good on me but I don’t think so. I am hunting for a lip pencil that is the same shade as my lips and since I will be going to Seattle towards the end of this week, I am going to hit the Downtown Nordstroms again and refuse to leave until I find one, LOL!! If you read in the news that an old lady chained herself to the makeup counter in Nordie’s you will know who it is.
Even though these have a matte finish, they don’t look drying. Very popular shades colours and a great result.
These are not only stunning, but I noticed a lip smoothing effect like those lip-blur types of lipsticks. Rain is perfect for winter in a professional or formal conservative setting, I’m thinking. Pink, but not neon or distracting.
Oops! I scrolled back up and saw “nearly neon”, so nope, not for courtroom!
These are just gorgeous! <3
I purchased thenRose first. And I love it! I dont agree with the “nearly neon”. It does brighten your face in a flattering way. Good for special occasions. For everyday, I purchased Affair and Muse. And I really love those as well and have received many complements on them. Sometimes I like to top them with a little more moisture and tint, such as NARS or YSL.
