What they are:
-Formulated with nourishing ingredients such as sunflower seed oil, jojoba, and mango butter to provide moisture and comfort
-Contains Vitamin E which helps protect lips from the environment
-Light weight formulation that makes the lips look fuller
-Fragrance free
Packaging:
Before we get into the formulation and colors, it's worth taking a look at the packaging of these lipsticks because I have never seen anything quite like it. The lipsticks come in very sleek silver tubes; they pick up fingerprints and smudges very easily but that's usually the case with shiny packagings.
To open the lipstick, you have to press down on the clear window at the top of the packaging, which releases the lipstick from the outer cap. Then simply pull the bottom portion out of the cap, twist and apply.
I like the fancy opening mechanism but I do wish the lipsticks had more weight to them; I don't really know why but lipsticks with a good weight to them just feel that much fancier!
Formulation:
All lipsticks had a semi-sheer formulation that's very buildable. The formulation is very buttery and creamy, quite similar to the Revlon Lip Butters. They glide easily and provide phenomenal moisturization. The lipsticks have a wet balmy texture and the longevity is about four to five hours with minimal drinking/eating.
Colors & Pigmentation:First Blush: Warm dusty pink with hint of coral. There is a subtle shimmer in the tube that's not really noticeable on the lips.

Sassy Fuchsia: A super bright hot pink, hands down my fave of the bunch (not surprisingly). The pigmentation of this is the most intense and it leaves a nice pink stain to the lips after it wears off.

Here is a compilation of the swatches, a few of them are quite similar but the majority of them are wearable neutrals.
Overall:
I think these new additions to the True Dimensions Lipstick line is an absolute hit! Despite the fact that I am not a fan of neutrals, I thoroughly enjoyed all the shades. The formulation is comfortable and moisturizing, you really can't ask for more!
