Trailblazer
Makeup Geek Trailblazer Plush Lip Creme ($14.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark mauve with grayer, more neutral undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish. It had good color payoff with a smooth, cream-like texture that sat fairly well on the lips and only had slight settling toward the end of its wear time (three hours). The color applied evenly and was comfortable to wear, and I’d describe the feel of it as non-drying.
The Plush Lip Creme formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with a hybrid, “cream and mousse” consistency. The consistency has a very velvety, smooth feel that wasn’t heavy nor did it feel thin or watered down. It seemed to be quite flattering and forgiving when it was initially applied, but there were some shades where the color pulled into my lip lines while worn, and they only lasted two to four hours on me. They were more comfortable to wear than liquid lipstick that dries down to a matte finish, and the formula was mostly non-drying. They did not have any noticeable scent or taste to me.

Free Spirit
Makeup Geek Free Spirit Plush Lip Creme ($14.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium orange with warm, red undertones and a cream finish. It had good color payoff, though it was not opaque, while the texture had moderate slip, was light-medium in thickness, and spread easily. I did have trouble getting the color to stay out of lip lines, and there were minor streaks that would be visible if I pressed my lips together. On me, the color lasted for three and a half hours and left a stain behind. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating over time.
