I'm loving: Muse by Hourglass

posted on: 2.15.2013

Gorgeousness in a fun package.

Hourglass is a makeup line that's been on my radar for a while now, but I'd never gotten around to trying anything from them. One day, though, I cracked and picked up one of their Opaque Rouge liquid lipsticks. I chose Muse, a bright coral red that is simply stunning.  

It was love at first application, basically.

One coat, applied over Caudalie lip conditioner

Muse goes on completely opaque in just one coat, which to me is pretty impressive. I will say, though, that it's quite matte, which means it can be a little drying. But I've found that applying it over a lip balm seems to fix that problem. And even though it might be a minor thing, I'm really a fan of the packaging. Ergonomic and easy to hold, it's the perfect size to slip in your pocket. Best of all, it's very long wearing - I've gone up to six hours without needing to touch it up, and that's with eating and drinking. I love how bold this color is, too; be prepared to answer the question "What lip color are you wearing?" I'm looking forward to trying more colors from this line (I've got my eye on this one).

What's your favorite lip product lately? I'd love to know!
