I received this for free from the PR company for review purposes. I had been looking for a great quality 'true red' lipstick. The color I got is called 'Hot Passion" # 305. It is a blood red color, and exactly what I had been looking for. It is the ultimate Marilyn Monroe RED! (I think :) )

What I like about it is:
- it has SUPER staying power
- the shade is EXACTLY what I was looking for
- it keeps my lips moisturized throughout the day, goes on smoothly
- it does not have a powerful scent
- the packaging is really sleek

What I don't like about it:
- it is SO difficult to take off (but that is a small price to pay for having a lipstick that actually stays on all day!)

I tried this lipstick in #400 Temptress - it's a rosy pink colour. First of all, it applied really smoothly - if I didn't already know it was a drugstore brand I would have thought differently. The colour is very pigmented and it has a lot of staying power. I didn't have to reapply at all, and at the end of the day I had to use makeup remover to get it off. If you are looking for a long lasting lipstick, I would definitely recommend this one.

I received mine as a PR sample from the brand.

This new line of CG lipstick is meant to hydrate and transform your lips to perfection in 7 days. I got this color in Rich, which is really more of a beige-y maroon color that matches my natural lip color nicely, and Rush, a flushed red color with a hint of sheer (This one's my favorite). I did notice that the lipstick was moisturizing with great lasting power that doesn't take a load of make-up remover to take off. I would definitely recommend this line of lipstick for a nice matte finish and a great selection of colors!
