My Beauty Addiction offers two kinds of lip color products. They have Color Rich Lipsticks and HD Lip Paints.
From the website:
Both lipsticks and lip paints are similarly priced. Full sized tubes are $7.50, petite tubes are $5.00, and sample clamshells are $4.00 as of this writing. My Beauty Addiction offers the option to mix and match sets of both lipsticks and lip paints for a discounted price.
Sadly for the vegan readers, these lipsticks all contain beeswax (and in some cases carmine).
I ordered seven petite lipsticks and they all came individually plastic wrapped. I thought they were a good size at .12 oz and were easy to apply from the tube.
The formula is a little "squishy." Definitely be careful when pushing the lipstick up else you may not be able to get it back down again. I pushed up Stargazer (below) to see how much lipstick was in the tube and the entire thing stayed up and kind of collapsed on itself without the structure of the tube.
As to the formula, though the lipsticks are advertised as moisturizing, I found some of the colors to be pretty drying on me - particularly the more extreme colors. Sapphire was a particularly strong offender. I didn't find any of the colors to be actually moisturizing though the more pinky shades were definitely more comfortable to wear.
Overall, they were nicely pigmented though were prone to some patchiness. Nothing another layer didn't fix. They all had varying degrees of shimmery-ness. Take a look below for individual swatches.

From the website:
The only difference between our lipsticks and lip paints are that our Lip Paints are colored primarily with dyes and our Lipsticks are colored primarily with micas & pigments. Lip Paints do tend to be brighter, more vivid, more matte and more opaque. Some colors of our lip paints may temporarily stain lips.In this post, we'll be taking a look at seven Color Rich Lipsticks.
