Concepcion: "This is such a pretty, shiny mauve! I could see myself wearing it at work or when I go out at night. It has some sheen, but it’s not too dramatic, and I like how it looks with my complexion."
Erin: "This is definitely my favorite. It's actually like a frostier version of my favorite MAC Lipstick, Amorous—it's an amped-up, New Year's version of it. I definitely like darker shades on me, but it’s not too dark or dramatic. It looks good with my very ghostly skin tone."
Jen: "I don’t usually wear dark lipstick, but when I do I keep it pretty simple. I love the color on this one—perfect for winter—but could see myself wearing it more often if it were matte or had less shine."
Christina: "Metallic plum, not a color I'd usually pick for myself. I don’t know if I like the frosty look, since I normally do something more subtle. But it’s not bad. I'd wear it out."
4. Butterfly Bling
A glittery, warm bronze gloss
Emily Kemp
Concepcion: "I’m not a lip gloss girl, but it’s nice if I want something casual. I don’t think the color is very strong; it feels natural and almost skin-tone colored. I'm calling this a 'brunch look.'"
Erin: "I like this better than I thought I would. I don’t usually wear a lot of sparkly colors on my lips, but it’s kind of bronzy and gold, and weirdly flattering on me. It feels long-lasting, like it won’t wear off throughout the day."
Jen: "This gloss has a pretty warm, caramel tint to it. I think it’d be nice with a tan actually, so I’d save it for summer."
Christina: "It’s more natural than the other frosty shades. It looks slightly tinted, and the glitter is shimmering in a few different colors. I like it! But warning: It's sticky."
