Glow: I’ll start with the colors. Lydia is described as a darkroom plum but to me it’s more reminiscent of a mauve pink. I’m not normally into pinks but I’m surprised at how much I like this shade. I think it’s very wearable and universally flattering to most skin-tones. It sort of reminds me of MAC’s ‘Up The Amp” which I have but haven’t tried yet, I will compare them in a later post. Black Dahlia is definitely my favorite of the two. It’s described as a blackened red and has a touch of a burgundy tone to it. It’s such a sultry deep red perfect for a night out 😉 The formula of the lip tars is amazing! They are super pigmented and rich so a little goes a long way. I literally only used two small dots of product for each application. You absolutely have to apply these with a lip brush (which now comes with them) They go on super smooth, they don’t crease and they don’t dry your lips out.

Wow. That Lydia looks gorgeous on you. I will definitely have to scoop that one. I've been looking for a flattering pink.

Thanks Leci! It kinda reminds me of Up The Amp by MAC. It's definitely a wearable pink. I just ordered a brighter one by OCC I hope it translates well.
