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 received this item for free as part of the Chick Advisor showcase (Vancouver). I tried 2 colors, midnight red and powerful pink. Midnight red was a dark warm red and went on very smooth but felt a bit too dark for me. Powerful pink was very Barbie pink (super bright)! One thing I didn't like was how it didn't stay on the inner part of my lip and seemed faded in the middle.

I was given a powerful pink sample and to be honest, it wasn't my color so I can't give a very honest review as I didn't enjoy the shade. I find them pricey at $21 for a matte lipstick that came right off on our coffee cups. Would I buy again? It would depend on if I could see different shades that would suit me better.

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.

I tried Mary Kay gel semi-matte lipstick in "Powerful Pink." I liked it at first, after a few mins I noticed that it made my lips feel a bit dry and I noticed some minor bleeding. I would like to try it again but exfoliate my lips before hand and see if I would have better results.

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.

Smooth formula, hard to tell how well it will last through the day since I've only had it on for 5 minutes! Nice packaging. Cool that you can see the color through the top of the lid.

Loved Midnight Red on my Asian skin-tone! Glides on nicely, no nasty scent, very light and stays on nicely without drying up your lips. Vibrant colours and comes in a lovely case. Will wear this regularly!

Love the bright shades and smooth, even coverage provided by this product. My lips feel moisturized and I can't wait to see how long the colour lasts!

This Mary Kay Gel Semi-Matte lipstick in Midnight Red was given to me at the ChickAdvisor Showcase to review. This lipstick wasn't quite matte (or semi-matte) on me, even though my sister's (in the shade Poppy Please). The colour is gorgeous- it's a deep red that is perfect for fall. The price is a little expensive at $21. Due to the semi-matte finish, the lipstick does transfer. Overall I did like the colours, but I just wish it was more matte.
