This is a new, limited edition shade in the Luminous Creme formula, which is supposed to provide “lush, long-lasting, moisture-rich lip color.” If you like your lipsticks creamy, moisturizing, and pigmented, it’s a worthwhile formula to check out. The consistency is light-to-medium in weight, but it’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t feel heavy or slide around too much. Bellini is richly pigmented and goes on evenly and smoothly without tugging on the lips. It was hydrating over the five hours it wore for me and left a pinky stain behind.
