MY THOUGHTS: I am obsessed with these. I'm kind of picky when it comes to lipsticks because I prefer ones that are affordable, moisturizing, unscented, and come in very wearable shades. Finding every single of these qualities in a drugstore lipstick can be a bit difficult. Some brands tend to carry a lot of frosty colors while others have a very waxy smell to them. When I heard all of the raves about these, I thought I would like them and I was not disappointed.

Considering how moisturizing they are, the color pay-off is actually really good. I don't detect a scent when I use it or have it on. Lasting power is similar to your average gloss which doesn't bother me since it is a "lip butter" after all, not a stain. $7 is not the cheapest drugstore price, but for the price of one MAC lipstick I can get 2 from Revlon. There are so many gorgeous shades to choose from so I'll definitely be getting more. It's kind of hard to locate them at the moment since they're only found on new product displays, but I hear that they will be everywhere by the new year. I hope so!

Fig Jam (This one looks SUPER SUPER dark

brown in the tube but looks like a brownish-red color on the lips. It's very

sheer in this photo but it actually looks more opaque in person, I really like it.)
