Lipstick Truth or Dare Zuzu by Gabriel Cosmetics by Zuzu Luxe

Color appears on your lips as it is in the case and the color is not too frosty. It goes on smoothly. It stays on for about four hours. It is very moisturizing. It has NO smell which is a big plus. It does not collect in lip “crevices.” It’s my new favorite!

Very pretty color reminds me of Mac St. Germain

I was hesitant to purchase since these are not cheap but I am so glad I did. I am fair skinned blonde with cool undertones and SO MANY lipstick read too warm with my complexion--but this one is GREAT--is truly cool-toned, looks just as I had hoped it would--a Matte cool-toned 60's Barbie/cotton candy/ bubble-gum pink. I found it a bit drying after an hour but seems fine if I add a little moisturizing lip balm on top. It has great staying power for a pale pink lipstick--lasts several hours.

smooth but not bright enough

This is my 4th time buying this lipstick, because I really like the color and all of my go-to holy grail lipsticks have been discontinued. This one is holding me over in the meantime until I can find something better. It does have a few issues, though. 1) It is not hydrating at all. It will look very dry on your lips unless you layer it with a lip balm or gloss. Other lipsticks in the same price range have oils blended into them so they hydrate your lips and give them a burst of color in one step. That would be ideal. But since this is so dry, you really need to pair it with a gloss. 2) The stick ALWAYS breaks in half or melts into a mush pile. I enjoy it for the first 2-3 weeks when it’s new, and then it turns into a mess. I end up scooping out the color with a cutip to try to save the rest of the wasted product. You really shouldn’t have this issue with a $21 lipstick. 3) The tube is smaller than a standard lipstick, so it doesn’t last very long. And 4) It doesn’t have much staying power compared to other lip products. The color fades or rubs off pretty quickly. Despite all of this, I’m ordering another one, because the light pink is really pretty on my lips and I can’t find a comparable shade of pink at Ulta right now. It’s still better than nothing!
