This Fashion 21 Aqualicious Lipstick in Arctic Stone was purchased in March of 2012, I was looking for a nude but creamy lipstick at the time and this looked like a good thing to try. The product is water-themed with its blue casing and water-shine shiny finish. Bullets have a very creamy consistency with zero scent, and has Vitamin E to help keep the lips hydrated. I think of this product as more of a tinted lip balm, you wear it because of the smooth delicious feeling. 

The shades were very vibrant and pigmented when I swatched them on the store. Arctic Stone is a nude shade that I loved because it does not have red or peach undertone, just a hint of baby pink and looks like a true nude color. Staying power is average. Due to the creamy nature of this lipstick, there's a tendency to transfer onto the drinking mug and that the moisture disappears after an hour... need to re-apply every hour or after a light meal.

Matte is ideally the long-lasting high-performance type of lipstick. I would really wear this Aqualicious lipstick more as a tinted lip balm, and also for photoshoots where you don't intend to wear the product very long anyway. Will I buy again? I still haven't bought a second one in years, but always contemplated getting the Arctic Stone shade again.
