These lipsticks are highly pigmented and are long lasting which applies smoothly glides while hydrating your lips.
This lipstick comes in medium maroon bullet which have velvety plastic packaging with golden brand name embossed on cap. The packaging is sturdy and travel friendly. The lipstick have quite good formula which is not very creamy to melt in bullet nor is it very hard. I think in summers it will be more creamy then it is now in winters. There is no strong smell or taste to this lipstick which i noticed. The pigmentation is quite good and in two swipes it gives fully opaque coverage.
The shade i picked is called 12 and it is stunning warm tone medium rosy pink shade. It is a perfect shade for every skin tone in my opinion and if you like to wear a shade darker then neutral shades and lighter then bold shades then this is great pick. The pigmentation is very good as i said earlier and it have semi matte finish. The swatch on hand is perfect representation of its pigmentation and finish. However on my lips i have topped it on lip balm, because i am facing very dry lips currently, which turned it in creamy finish.
The texture is very smooth and it applies without tugging and gives even finish. It is similar to Luscious heartbreaker creamy matte lipstick and is little less pricey. It is not drying or moisturizing but you can use it easily on lip balm as i have applied. The lasting power is 4 to 5 hours almost similar to Wet n Wild mega last matte lip cover. It applies evenly and doesn't feather or become patchy while fading.
Overall i liked the texture of this lipstick. It is easy to apply, have semi matte finish with good pigmentation. The lasting power is also good and the color i picked, 12 is great medium shade for all skin tone.
