Hourglass I Want, I Woke Up, If Only Confession Lipsticks

I Want

Hourglass I Want Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy brown with warm, orange undertones and a satin sheen. It was richly pigmented and yielded opaque, even coverage in a single layer. The texture felt lightweight, creamy enough that it glided on with ease but did not slide around when worn. It lasted for four and a half hours on me and felt lightly hydrating.

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.).

I Woke Up

Hourglass I Woke Up Confession Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a satin sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips evenly and without streaking. The lipstick was creamy enough to glide across the lips without tugging but not feel slippery when worn, so it stayed on for a solid four and a half hours and did not gather in my lip lines. It was slightly hydrating while worn.
