The founders of Exude have managed to solve an age-old dilemma: how to make a lipstick that won’t lose its shape over time. Their crowning achievement: a unique crystal-clear applicator that dispenses the perfect amount of pigment every time. Megastylist Rachel Zoe loves the moisturizing formula and rich, long-wearing shades. Who are we to argue with Hollywood royalty?
This is a really nice lipstick! This was my first experience with this brand and I was not disappointed! The color was rich and robust and the product just glided on without any sticky ickiness to it. The color lasted quite awhile and didn't bleed or rub off on my teeth. It is a moisturizer and helped provide protection against chapped lips. Great product! Thanks, Birchbox!
5I'm not really into bright lipsticks, so liking the color was the challenge, but when I did take a chance on it, I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the concept of the applicator but it just kind of smudged it around unevenly. I was worried something so bright and creamy would smudge without me noticing, but it stayed put pretty well once I got it on evenly with a lip brush.
4I got 2 colors of this lipstick - the more pigmented Red#1 and the Scarlet Red Gloss. The Red#1 is a great red (I'm always searching for that "perfect" red) and wears really well. Touch ups are needed after eating/drinking, but the formula is non-drying, so I expected that.
The Scarlet Red Gloss, though, is my favorite. Long wearing for a gloss, has a great minty scent, and the color is less of a shocking red and a more natural reddish pink. I bought several of them to give as holiday gifts because I always get compliments whenever I'm wearing this. With the tube packaging I don't have the same issues I do with other glosses that tend to leak around the seal of the applicator, which is a really nice bonus.
I really wanted to love this product, but was kind of oh hum about the result. The applicator is a neat idea. The formula of the lip color I was not as impressed with. The color nude that I received was sheer with lots of gold and sparkles. I would've preferred it to be a thicker consistency and no glitters.
3Love love love everything about this lipstick/gloss! Escpecially the applicator! I have broken too many lipsticks to count, and the application on Exude is the perfect solution! The gloss which covers like a lipstick stays inside the applicator and you can twist out as much or a little as you like! Also, the colors have staying power and are not sticky! Great BB find!
