Color: Tenderly - washed pink
$49.00
I will say that it's not my favorite color for lips- it makes me think of the 80s but I'm super white and older so maybe it just doesn't work for me. ...I have worn this with and without setting with a powder blush on top, and both applications have lasted 8 plus hours with it being in the eighties outside. I should point out that while this is listed as a peach pink, I would consider this to be more of a rose pink on my fair/light skin and I was impressed by how little product needed to be used to get noticeable results.

I am not that person who touches up makeup during the day and this stays on till I remove it with makeup remover. ...However, the product only lasted about 1-2 months (with me only wearing makeup 2-3 days a week max working from home right now) and to me it's not economically wise to spend $32 a month on eyeliner.
