BUXOM Wanderlust Primer-Infused Blush ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a powder blush is supposed to have “12-hour wear” thanks to the “primer-infused” formulation that is supposed to “seamlessly blend” with a “luminous finish.” It is scented with a “subtle, beachy scent” (it smells a bit like coconut and suntan lotion… aptly described a”beach,” but wasn’t a scent I detected much on, though my sense of smell has been dulled down lately). Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation–and some where intensely pigmented to the point where the warning “use with a light hand” comes into play–with soft, finely-milled consistencies that were a little dusty in the pan.
The finish varied from satin to more pearlescent, and one shade has larger sparkles to it, so you’ll want to pay attention to the finish of a particular shade if you are particular about the level of shine/shimmer in your cheek colors. I noticed that most of the shades applied darker and richer on my skin, both my forearm as well as my cheeks, than they appeared in the pot. The blushes blended out well and lasted between nine and 11 hours on me–definitely a bit longer wearing than average. They looked smoother and were more forgiving of skin texture when worn on bare skin than the average powder blush, too.

Lavender Extreme Tom Ford Beauty Lavender Extreme Lip Color ($54.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a deeper, lavender purple with warm, pink undertones and cooler pink and iridescent violet pearl throughout. It had more of a lightly glossy, metallic finish with a few larger sparkles. It had medium coverage in one layer, and it was buildable to semi-opaque coverage but was never fully opaque. The consistency was lightweight, emollient with noticeable slip, and comfortable to apply and to wear. It didn’t pull into my lip lines as much as expected, but the product caught slightly on minor imperfections of my lips. It wore well for three and a half hours and was lightly hydrating over time. P.S. — I’m pretty sure the brand has the wrong description on their website, as the description they have listed is the same as they have for the Lip Sparks (and this doesn’t have the same bullet or texture as the Lip Sparks, and it is labeled “Lip Color” on the box).

Slay (18) Sephora Slay (18) Rouge Lacquer ($13.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. The color coverage was semi-opaque in one layer, but the formula didn’t lend itself to being buildable as it felt too slick when I did so. The texture was creamy, lightweight, and emollient, and it seemed to show in how this one looked on my lips–sank into some of my lip lines, caught on lip texture, and didn’t go on as evenly as it could have. The lipstick wore well for three and a half hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.
