Packaging:
The Artist Plexi-Gloss come in simple gloss tubes. The caps have a very cute MUFE sexy lips logo etched at the top. The doe-foot applicators are large and paddle shaped. They have a notch on the side that allows the applicator to really hug the curves of the lips. Despite its slightly clumsy appearance, the doe-foot works well on spreading the gloss evenly and precisely.

Formulation:
Very much like MAC Lipglasses, the Plexi-Glosses are lightweight yet quite tacky. They last better than your average gloss, but they do feel sticky on the lips. The formulation is a bit hard to spread but once you get it smooth and even it has a nice shine.
404 is a semi-sheer warm berry with no shimmers. 304 is a semi-sheer bright coral with no shimmers and 102P is a translucent pale peach packed with shimmers.

These glosses pack quite a shine. The brighter shades are indeed very pigmented. Although a tad sticky, they do cling to the lips better, providing a longer wear time.
