Available in Rose (medium rose), Canvas (dusty rose), Edition (coral pink), Ballet (vivid pink), Empress (deep aubergine), Icon (classic, true red), Raven (vibrant red orange), Riviera (tangerine) and Muse (vivid coral).

Cons

Con
Dry matte consistency

The product is quite a dry matte lipstick and can be drying on lips, especially in cold or windy climates. Definitely apply a lip conditioner/good lip balm prior to use in cold or windy climate to protect lips and reduce dryness.

Con
Mini/travel size seems to have consistency issues

Many customers have complained about the clumpy texture, flimsy applicator and dryness of specifically the mini/travel size product. Hardly any of the same complaints have been made about the full sized product so perhaps an issue to do with the packaging process of the mini product.
