So now the important part, how do they perform?

I found the shades really nice with most requiring one coat. Yes, these do dry down all the way and there is no transfer of color on a glass or with a kiss. I got an average of 7 hours of wear with the lighter shades, which brings me to the big question - Is the formula drying? Some of the shades bordered on too drying, which are, surprise, surprise, the darker ones. That seems to be the case with most brands but straight up reds seem to fair pretty well for some reason, even in this collection.

The ones that bordered too dry, but still wearable if you can deal with it on your lips really remind me of ColorPop’s Ultra Matte lippies. If you blindfolded me, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, for sure.

So overall would I recommend these? Yes on the lighter shades and not so much for the darker ones as comfort is really important to me. I mean, the darker ones like Gypsy and Kamikaze were not the most drying ones I've ever worn and they applied pretty evenly but they are just not really my taste in terms of performance.
