I am normally drawn to more nude shades but to be honest, I didn’t see many that I liked. The first thing I can tell you is that these are highly pigmented, since the stain they left on my hand after swatching lasted for quite some time.  As you can see from the above swatch, the initial application is glossy but it dries down quickly to more of a lipstick finish which I prefer.  The only odd thing I noticed with these fluid sticks is that the applicator doesn’t apply the color evenly to my lips. I thought perhaps I needed to exfoliate, but even after I did, it still would not adhere to the inner part of my lip.  After I pressed them together, and added a second coat, it finally covered my entire lips smoothly and evenly.  Surely not a reason to pass them over, and it may just be my lips, but I felt I would mention it anyways.  I am loving the feel upon first application and even after a few hours, as it leaves my lips quite soft without drying them out.  It’s too soon to tell if I will purchase any more colors, as I would like to test drive them for a few weeks.
