HOURGLASS Confession Ultra Slim Lipstick 0.9g #I woke up

I found myself wanting a coral lipstick to go with this year's fall colors, and "No One Knows" was just the ticket. The color is just what I was looking for, and the slim wand is great for both lining your lips and applying lipstick neatly without a brush. I love the gold wand (and that it can be refilled); it's the perfect size for a clutch or even the pocket of my jeans. But like other reviewers, I do wish it lasted longer. I don't need my makeup to last 18 hours or even 12, but lipstick of this quality shouldn't need reapplication every 1-2 hours (and at the very least, I wish it left behind more of a stain on your lips.)

This just arrived in today's UPS and I put it on immediately. The formula is creamy and well-pigmented. I bought "If Only," and it is more of a terracotta color than I was hoping for (I prefer deep nudes that lean towards pink). I am hoping it dries down a lot because I prefer a dry, non-budging color. Nicely matte. Thinking of buying one or two other colors, one to try to get closer to my preferred deep nude, and one red or dark for fancy occasions.
