These are opaque, easy wearing, and shiny! It's very vibrant. But being a emollient lipstick, it is definitely not long wearing. But because the application is so forgiving, touch up is a breeze. This is definitely a winner!

#gotitfree it's feels nice and moisturizing for a matte lipstick. I tried on poppy please and I think it's a very nice color orange red shade. It's very pigmented which I like. Staying power is not very strong as it did go on my coffee cup. The packaging is beautiful and I like the clear opening on the top cap so I can see the color. The price point for $21 is kind of high but at the same time it is lower than some high end brands. #MKSemiMatte

Love this lipstick! So smooth and creamy. The colour I received from the #chickadvisorshowcase was Midnight Red and it was great, will definitely wear it a lot this winter. I can't say about the wear time, but it has a lot of pigment so I imagine it will last at least a few hours. #MKSemiMatte

So happy to try out this product! I love matte lipsticks and this particular formulation by MaryKay! It went on smoothly and does not dry out my lips like other brands. The colours are highly pigmented and Powerful Pink was my favourite!!! I also got to try out Midnight Red but it was abit dark for my skin colour.

Wow, great pop of colour. Great texture. Bold colour. Great for day or night. Makes me smile. Mary Kay Gel Semi-Matte Lipstick is a ChickAdviser testers dream.

#mksemimatte luxury in a tube. It's been a long time since I used Mary Kay lipstick, and I had forgot what a wonderful line of products they offer. This is a keeper

I received this product for free at the Chick Advisor Showcase event. I tried two colours, Poppy Please and Powerful Pink. Poppy Please was a little too bright for my liking but Powerful Pink was good. It took some time to apply as it did not spread naturally, perhaps due to the fact that I had just removed the last lipstick. It stayed on through a cup of coffee and lots of chatter though so I was happy!

I received the Mary Kay Gel Semi-Matt Lipstick for free at the ChickAdvisor showcase in Vancouver. It goes on super smooth and leavesee your lips feeling nice and most.

I receieved two different shades at the chick advisor showcase. I don't generally wear traditional lipstick but this one goes on very nice and smooth. I am wearing midnight red in the photo. It didn't smudge and was easy to remove. I would highly recommend this. The other options were poppy red and powerful pink.

Wow this lipstick is very opaque. It's not 100% transfer proof but if you wipe off some of the excess it stains nicely. It doesn't feel sticky or tacky at all.
