In love with color, not with product

As a very minimal and basic make up user I loved the idea of this product. I do not wear lip colors because I find they wear off and I do not have the time or initiative to reapply during my day.

I like the color I have is the beige Champagne. I love the color. Application is easy. Having no comparisons I find the product is thin but goes on nice. It dries quick, but if you make a mistake and correct it immediately it is fixable. The first coat is light in color which is perfect for me, however it is easy to deepen the color with more layers. I do not like the burning sensation that it causes on me. I have always assumed it was the alcohol for drying the product.

I do not like that one must wear another product over it. As i find that it is incredibly sticky without their moisturizing gloss over it. It does get better as it dries down but if you need to open your mouth you constantly have to pull your lips apart. I have tries chap sticks or other glosses and they work ok. but i think their moisturizing gloss works best. With the over top of the color my lips are no longer sticky and they feel soft and soft and silky and the product feels light on them.

For me the product lasts about half day on its own, but by the time i make it through my coffee, breakfast and lunch it could use a bit of a refresh i, I also find that this point forward is starts to get gritty, so I do end up having to remove what is left and reapply, which I am not thrilled about, but at least I only have to do this once a work day, not every hour or two like the creamy stick forms of lips sticks I have tried in the past.

Day time removal of just wiping away the left over gloss and the gritty stuff does leave some pigment behind, but since i am reapplying the same color it is ok. Nighttime removal with make up remover seems to get rid of all the product, but it is a really light neutral shade so I am not sure if darker colors would remove a nice. I do find that it leaves my lips dry and I need to exfoliate them and put chapstick on in the evening.

I find that the price point on the product is a bit steep, at $30.00 for the color itself this competes with Mac and Merl Norman lip sticks i have purchased in the past, however seen as that i must use the gloss product to make this bearable I find that paying $55.00 for lip color is a bit steep ($30.00 for the color & $25.00 for the gloss).

Right now I tolerate the product because I love the color and refuse to buy another lips color as I don't wear makeup all that often and cannot justify tossing near full product out just when it looks good. When I run out of the product I will try another long lasting blend but will not purchase this one again.
