Hello! Today's post is a review on Lorac's Royal Lustre Creme Set. It sells for $25 at kohls and contains 6 different shades. Three of the six shades are exclusive ( Empress, Princess and Enchanted). This set was part of Lorac's holiday collection but I ended up picking it up with a Kohls gift card. I have to say I'm really glad that I did. Usually I skip over lipglosses and head straight for lipsticks. For some reason I feel greasy when I wear chap stick or lipgloss. Fortunately, I don't have that problem with these creamy lipglosses.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pigmentation
These glosses are what I consider true lipgloss. They have the right amount of pigmentation. They don't claim to have intense pigmentation like lipstick nor do they lack pigmentation like cheapo drugstore lipglosses.
Though, don't get me wrong each and every shade is very pigmented. Just becuase I consider them a true lipgloss does not mean they don't have color pay off. The color that you see in the tube is definitely what you get. I wasn't disappointed with any of the shades. In fact, I was surprised. Maybe I should buy more lipgloss...
Lasting power
Like every other lip product, the darker shades lasted longer. I was able to get three and half hours out of the two darkest shades (crown jewel and reign). The lighter shades started to disappear around three hours. Honestly, that's not a bad time frame. Most of my lipglosses disappear after one hour. Maybe it's true?? The lipglosses in this set are fit for a queen.
Application/ consistency
Ahh.. So soft and creamy. These glosses feature a small brush tip. It's great for precision and laying down intense color. For a more glossy look I I only pull the wand out once and apply it directly to my lips. When I want a more opaque coverage, I pull the wand out twice. The first layer provides just a hint of color, while the second is true to the color of the tube. They don't apply streaky. They have a slightly thicker consistency and have a very small amount of stickiness. It's only enough to make them last longer but not enough to make your hair stick to your lips. The formula also feels like a gel hybrid, which seems to help hydrate the lips. Thankfully, they are also absent of shimmer!
Packaging
This fabulous lip Creme comes housed in a durable glass(I think) tube. The wand features a small brush that is super easy to use. The wand doesn't bend or feel like it's going to break. The lipgloss tube feels very luxurious. It feels heavy and the gold lid makes it a stunner.
Overall thoughts
$25 is a heck of a deal for six lipglosses. Every shade is so darn cute. They aren't sticky or splotchy. All the shades are unique and don't overlap one another. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. For now on this will probably be a holiday set I pick up every year. I'm in love with this formula!
