Formula Overview
$15.00/0.15 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "medium, buildable, and high-impact matte coverage" that is long-wearing. It had a thin, watery consistency (it is "water-based", so that came as no surprise) that spread more readily than I expected, which was nice as it made it easier to get an even layer of product.
The coverage seemed more along the higher end of medium to semi-opaque, though it was certainly buildable and amenable to a second layer, if desired. The product dried down to a mostly matte finish within 30 seconds, and it seemed to dry down without settling into my lip lines for the most part.
Despite being thin/watery, the dry down didn't feel clingy and vwas incredibly lightweight and a lip product. Most shades lasted at least four hours on me with a few lasting as long as six hours, while the formula felt non-drying over time. It had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

No Drama is what Almay had the exact same shade of in a lipstick simply called Raspberry many years ago! I think that I may get this one for my upcoming convention, as it’s a softer, raspberry red.
WOW, both are such beautiful colors. I have been purchasing a lot of Korean beauty products and makeup products and they definitely prefer a softer color palette. I did just purchase the Lisa Eldridge lippie in Duchess to get a little brighter fix. Just as I started to wear more makeup again, I did a huge declutter of my lipsticks. I pretty much kept just the high end ones and got rid of all my drugstore lippies. Even with the declutter, I can dupe myself many times over for my preferred colors, which are pinks, berries, reds and wines. I have branched out a little and started wearing some almost nudes and brown/peach colors. Many of you will be shocked to hear it! I did just watch a video of Alanna’s last night where she used a Sephora liquid lippie and it was beautiful on her. I really like No Big Deal and will check that one out when I go to Spokane or Seattle next.
Gorgeous colours – especially No Drama!
Two winners for me. I really like both.
Now to get the Sephora site (local) to work for me. After clicking on a product and then trying to click the back arrow it tells me I’m not allowed to do that and then it’s impossible to check further unless I re-start the PC. I don’t know why and it’s crazy annoying.
