Reason for Purchase
I love lip products! I had seen a video on YouTube by Hollyannaeree - her Updated Drugstore Favorites - Top 10 Drugstore Products Under $10 video, which you can watch here:

She mentioned that the lipsticks are very moisturizing, and have a watermelon scent - so I was sold!
The colors I picked up are Born With It - which is a coral pink with gold/orange shimmer; and, Sweet Ginger - which is a deep pink with golden shimmer.

Experience Using Product
These lipsticks are truly moisturizing. They do feel a bit greasy at first, but once you put them on you won’t need to put a gloss on on top or balm on underneath. You will have to re-apply if you eat or drink - they come off quite easily. They are very glossy.
When I put swatches of the colors on my hand, I found that I experienced a mild irritation - itchiness. Fortunately, I did not experience this irritation once the product was on my lips.
Would I Re-Purchase, Recommend, or Reject
I would re-purchase. I like the fact that I did not have to put a gloss on top to give the product extra ‘oompf’. The lipsticks do this all on their own. I would recommend this product to someone who is looking for a moisturizing lipstick. If you are looking for something that is more ‘long-wear’, these lipsticks don’t fit the bill. I do find this product Acceptable; the next time they are on sale, I plan on picking up a few different shades.
