First of all, if you are not a dark lip lover, you might want to skip these, this set contains 3 permanent shades( Bound, Unspeakable, Toy) and 3 exclusive shades(No.675, Chez Claude, Plato's). Some of the shades are extremely similar on the lips, so there's a bit of disappointment there, but considering the full sizes are £22 each, I can't complain too much here, very good value if you only want to try the formula out.
From Top to Bottom, we have :
Bound -- cool, lilac pink
No.675 -- warm, brick red
Chez Claude -- warm, fuchsia red
Unspeakable -- warm, brownish red
Plato's -- cool, wine red
Toy -- intense, deep plum

The formula is quite strange, darker shades are like whipped cream, lighter ones are like gloss, however they are all lightweight and opaque, it has a slight sweet chocolate scent, sets to satin finish. I can get 2-3 hours wear out of them before they bleed on my lips, yes they do bleed! Darker shades like TOY are impossible to achieve an even look, it looks OK from safe distance, but any closer you can definitely see how streaky it appears, down below is a close up photo of me wearing TOY:
My thoughts? Well, I think they are comfortable on the lips, non-drying, the packaging is cute, however they are just not quite there for me, I much prefer Chanel Rouge Allure Ink!
Thanks for reading. xx
