Cle de Peau Bamboo, Silk Scroll, Hummingbird Lipsticks

Bamboo

Cle de Peau Bamboo Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a subdued, medium pink with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a smooth, creamy consistency that felt emollient but had a light tackiness on the lips that helped to keep it in place while worn. The formula seemed to smooth out my lip texture for the most part, though there was a touch of color that had gathered into my deeper lip lines. It was incredibly hydrating over the four hours it lasted for (but I cannot imagine it ever lasting eight hours!).

The formula is supposed to have “ultra-vibrant, luminous HD color and rich lasting moisture” that has a “silk, semi-matte finish lasting for 8 hours.” Under “Key Benefits,” they repeat that it has a “long-lasting finish for up to 8 hours” and “delivers lasting moisture for up to 4 hours” (I swear, that seems like it’s switched–it would really make more sense for it to last for four hours but keep lips hydrated for longer than the color itself lasted). The consistency was lightweight, creamy with a more emollient feel as it applied that had a lightly tacky feel afterward. Color coverage varied from medium and buildable to mostly opaque with light to moderate shine. Some shades applied more smoothly across the lips and made my lips appear smoother and plumper but not all shades did so. The wear was four to six ours with some of the deeper, richer shades (like reds) wearing longer. I found the formula very hydrating and comfortable to wear. I did not notice any taste but they had a subtle, rosy scent.

Silk Scroll

Cle de Peau Silk Scroll Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium peach with warm, beige undertones and a luminous finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which did not apply evenly–I was surprised at how streaky the edges of this shade was on my lips and how even more color sat in my lip lines. This was one of the weakest shades in the range, though the formula was moisturizing on the lips, so it was at least comfortable to wear. The other downside was that it only lasted for three and a half hours on me.

Hummingbird

Cle de Peau Hummingbird Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a soft, medium coral with warm, orange undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which covered the lips fairly evenly, but the texture did not seem to sit well on my lips and appeared to emphasize imperfections. The consistency was lightweight, moderately slippery, and creamy so it glided on without tugging, but this shade moved around more than others in the formula. On me, it wore well for three and a half hours but was very moisturizing.
