    Omg I love these lipsticks!! I was beyond excited to try out these colours. My review disappeared but I received another one of these in my Premium membership bag and just had to review. I love the texture and finish of these lipsticks. My favourite shade is Mauve Moment, it is perfect for work as well since it is a neutral pink. I am in love with it!

    I received this lipstick in the colour MAUVE MOMENT as part of my premium welcome bag and I am not a fan. I have tried it out twice and will not be using it again. The colour isn't one I would choose to buy at all. It does apply easily and seems to stay for a good amount of time but I don't like the look of it once it dries.

    These work just about perfectly for me. It goes on and stays on really well. I don't have to worry about reapplying because of fading/smudging and I don't have to worry about my lips feeling too dry. I've been using "powerful pink" mostly and even though the colour is (not surprisingly) pinker than I normally wear, I love mixing it up sometimes.

    I received the mauve moment colour from ChickAdvisor as part of my Premium welcome bag. The colour doesn't suite me at all, but the lipstick goes on pretty well, seems to be moisturizing until it drys and then it drys out your lips. Not a big fan.

    I have to say many years ago I tried MaryKAY I wasn't crazy about the product. I always had a reaction to the cleaners and makeup. I received my Semi Matte lipstick in my Premium bag it wasn't a color I liked it was however creamy and stayed on. I never had a reaction to it. Thats a plus.. I might try it in a different color one day..

    I got my lipstick in Mauve Moment with my Premium package. The lipstick goes on well and doesn't seem to dry out my lips. I haven't tried a Mary Kay lipstick in a very long time and was pleasantly surprised. The colour is not for me, as it makes me look like a clown. That was a little disappointing. Overall, I would try their lipstick again.

    I'm very impressed by this semi matte lipstick. It lasted for a long time before I needed to reapply (and let's be honest, all lipsticks, no matter what they claim, will need to be touched up at some point during the day.) The colour was very flattering, and I quite liked the matte finish on me.
    It was a little bit dry, but I applied a lip balm (a lip rimer would also work) underneath the 2nd or 3rd time I wore it, and that really helped with any dry feeling.
    Not as moist as the Mary Kay True Dimensions lipstick (which are so moisturizing you feel like you're wearing gloss), but still a really nice lipstick. It's just as good, if not better, as most of the "Department store brand" lipsticks, so I'd say it's worth the price.
    Definitely recommend!

    I got the Mauve Moment in my ChickAdvisorPremium welcome bag.
    I like the semi-matte aspect of it, it's not a bad look. I didn't find it transfers too much onto coffee cups. In my opinion it's not a lipstick that looks good without any other makeup on - have to do full foundation/powder/finish and so on.

    Colour doesn't work on me at all, i'm too pale and pink for it. May look better on a natural brunette or a more olive skintone. Also noticed there is a huge difference in the colour in natural daylight vs. artificial light; in daylight it is pink with purple coming through, indoor light it has a darker, warmer brownish and more subdued tone (more close to the mauve in its name).

    It's a bit pricey though, there are equally good products that can be found that cost much less.
