There are 7 shades and it costs around $22 CAD.
Packaging: Totally appreciate the sleek greyish black packaging - Awesome!
My Experience:
I have read reviews where people didn't notice much color change, so I thought I will test it out on 3 surfaces - a white paper, my hand and my lips.
On the white paper, it appears as a blue-toned coral red shade. I didn't honestly care much for this shade.
On my hands, it appears as an orangey red shade. Loved this effect - I am a fan of orange.
Finally on my bare lips [no lip balm, pigmented lips] with its naturally mauvish tone, this appeared to be a darker red with brown tones. It came out as a warmer shade and I feel that it suits my skin tone -so Muy Contento!
Regarding how it applies- it is very creamy and its red -so beware of feathering. I suggest using a lip liner. You can see in my lip swatches how it has feathered.
It stains my lips but because of its creaminess the staying power is not very high - around 3-4 hours at the max.
The intensity can be built upon; I am wearing it with 2-3 swipes which is almost a semi-intense look.
I don't think I would have been so happy with this lipstick if I'd paid the full price, considering that it does bleed and it is not a very long wearing lipstick. Also, another issue I find is, it does some how highlight all the lines on my lips; not a deal breaker for me but I guess it would be for dry skinned ladies.
OVERALL:
This lipstick does seem to change color so I agree with their claim. I love this lipstick, it applies like a dream, no scent, no irritation, no taste and I dont mind reapplying.
Now the million dollar question or in this case $22 CAD question is - will I buy again for $22CAD? Hmmm...to be honest, I don't think so. It is not that special; I would consider buying Du Wop's Mini collection - check it here
