This lipstick offers the most gorgeous deep red and has a great matte finish. I manage to wear it all year round by simply changing my eye makeup and for the price, it's a great dupe for the high-end blood red lipsticks. However, like any other dark, matte lipstick, you do need to touch it up throughout the day, especially if you're eating. I would also recommend using a lip pencil for precision.

This lipstick smells very good and comes in a great variety of different colours. It has a very nice finish. The only thing I would recommend would be using a liner underneath because it tends to bleed a little bit.

I think the first release of these lipsticks were great. I hated the smell of the second release. These are pigmented lipsticks that I also found to moisturize my lips a little. I really like the smell of the regular lasting finish lippies, and this had the same smell. These are not the most long lasting lipsticks, but applied right these last for a solid 4 hours.

I like this line. It's nice to wear a matte colour instead of always wearing gloss or shine. The line also has some really nice shades. My one complaint is that I find the perfumey smell is a bit much for my lips... I feel like I can taste it sometimes.

While this isn't my absolute favourite lipstick, for $5.99, it does a pretty good job. It goes on pretty smoothly but it is a bit spotty and it isn't totally opaque so it took me some blotting and dabbing and reapplying to get it the way I wanted it. For a matte lipstick, it isn't overly drying which is nice as well.

I really love the colours in this collection though. They are a bit on the avant garde side for a drug store brand but they are gorgeous and great for summer.
