Quick Take:

This is the first product that I have purchased from hourglass and it is a new addition to the line.  I love a red lip so I chose Icon which is a true and vibrant blue red.  Looks like an old Hollywood red.

Applys very easily without dragging.  It has a creamy texture and feels moisturizing on the lips.  When it dries down it does not feel thick or cakey. No bad smell or taste – things that are important to me as I am very sensitive to scent.  This is a matte finish so if you want to add gloss make sure it is completely dry.

A little of this lipstick goes a long way. I found that after about 6 hours of wearing, it started to fade, but in an even vs blotchy way.  I reapplied after about 8 hours of wear, which I was very happy with as I have had long wearing glosses and lipsticks that need to be applied within an hour.

I love, love, love this lipstick and think Icon is brilliant.  Did I mention I love?  I know this will be one of my go to colors for Fall and Winter 2012.  Big recommend.

Peace
