Hourglass I’m Addicted, No One Knows, I’ve Kissed Confession Lipsticks

I'm Addicted

Hourglass I’m Addicted Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a soft, medium brown with warm, rosy undertones and a satin finish. The color payoff was nearly opaque, and the lipstick applied the coverage evenly and smoothly. The texture was lightweight, creamy without being heavy or too emollient, and was easy to apply. It lasted for four and a half hours on me and was lightly moisturizing over time.

The formula is supposed to have “creamy, saturated, longwearing color with a satin finish.” It’s a light-medium thick formula that was typically opaque with a lightly creamy texture that glided on without tugging but did not slide around while worn. The majority of shades had a natural to satin finish, and they lasted anywhere from four to seven hours with light hydration. The best performing shades were light to dark while the lightest and deepest shades weren’t quite as consistent.

The lipstick can be purchased with the full packaging/applicator for $34 or as a refill-only for $22. The refill packaging is substantial enough that it is usable on its own, as there’s a detachable base that the refillable cap clicks onto (with an audible click), but they are very slim–and that’s not a surprise given they only contain 0.03 oz. making them one of the smaller lipsticks on the market. Slim lipsticks typically contain around 0.07 oz. of product and are usually smaller than the average standard lipstick tube (which tends to be between 0.10 and 0.12 oz.).

No One Knows

Hourglass No One Knows Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a peachy coral with warm, orange undertones and a cream finish. It had good color payoff–nearly opaque–that applied evenly for the most part. The texture was lightweight with moderate slip, and as a result, there was a bit of color that gathered in my lip lines and very subtle streaking along the edges of my lips. It wore well for four and a half hours but was lightly hydrating over time.
