I bought two in Red 73 (rich garnet) and Rose 55 (deep rose). For AU$50 you get 3.3g of product. The lipsticks smell faintly like roses. The textures of both is quite sheer, compared to most other reds I wear (Chanel, NARS, Guerlain), but is definitely buildable. You get a lot of drama with just one swipe. Lasting power is about average, but they leave a lovely stain. I've tried them with and without lip liner, and haven't had problems with bleeding. Red 73 reminded me of one of my favourite red lipsticks, NARS Transeurope Express, but much more light-weight and moisturising - it could very well be my new HG red! I think both could transition well from day to night.
