didn't meet my expectation

I ordered shade 02 ‘Fig.’ It looks nothing like the photos. There’s no color—it goes on clear. The texture feels hard and very sticky.

First of all, I must say that I am not an expert on the makeup issue, so my review is from someone who just needed a lipstick. Regardless of that, I must say that I liked it a lot, I use it on a daily basis is very soft and light, it does not feel too sticky to be a gloss. Color is a very cute thing, it is subtle but at the same time it gives the face life and freshness. I really like the format because it makes the application very easy and I feel that it is not wasted because you can take it out as it is used. As for the durability, I feel that without eating or drinking it can last about two hours without having to retouch it. Finally, I must say that this lipstick would be bought again when it is finished.

I really like this lip product. It feels very soft and smooth when applied and gives my lips a nice amount of hydration and moisture. My lips feel comfortable and moisturized without feeling heavy or sticky. The color is also very pretty and gives my lips a beautiful, natural-looking finish. I’ve really enjoyed using it and I’m very happy with the quality.

Bought this in two shades-fig (02) and berry (03). Texture of Fig was very thick, sticky, and just a big messy glob. It did not glide on smoothly at all. Berry color however had a thinner and lighter texture. It glides easily on the lips and the color does look like a berry-raspberry and strawberry. Setting aside the texture, I do not love the applicator. It’s rather long and takes up more space in my bag than necessary. You click on the bottom of the lipstick like you would a pen in order to push the lip color out of the applicator. But once it is out, you can’t retract it. So you have to be careful to not let too much lipstick come out of the applicator. I would not repurchase.

Goldilocks lippie. I grew up with Clinique Almost Lipstick and tried it again from nostalgia to find that it's not that hydrating on 52-year old lips. This is fantastic however, and gives me everything I want from a sort of "almost lipstick but not quite" product. It's hydrating; the berry is a juicy, cool shade that doesn't oxidize; it has a slightly glossy but not gloopy feel and finish; it leaves a wash of color I can apply balm over for a natural vibe or enhance with a liner; it is effortless and looks like "I woke up this way"; it's unscented and non-irritating; it's everything I want from a tinted gloss type thing. Tarte has an equivalent (they're trying to copy this, I think), and it's four times the price, and it dries my lips right out. It is also simultaneously on trend and timeless: you want a blurred, impressionistic lip? Apply and blot like we did in the 90s. Fancy a glossy finish? Apply liberally (you might not need more gloss, but it will rock over the hint of stain this leaves as it wears off). Because of the nature of these soft meta lipsticks (is it tinted balm or almost lipstick, etc) I'm sure it won't last for months and months, but at this price point I don't even care. Every cool Asian girl, every cool French girl, walks out in lips like this, if that helps. If the best, multi-dimensional skin tint had a lippie equivalent it would be this. My lips but so much better. For myself I'm just delighted to have found a lippie that ticks every box, and I can't rec it highly enough.

I love the color of this gloss but the scent is overwhelming. It's like a heavy rose chemical smell. I'm not a massive fan of rose scents. The claim is these are natural but holy moly the smell is off putting for me. It doesn't plump. I saw in other reviews that it didn't plump for them either. I didn't buy it for that reason anyway. It would be 5 stars if I could get past the smell.
