Lux feeling lipstick

I received this lipstick in I'm Thriving in my voxbox (along with the matching lip liner in Badass) complimentary from Influenster. If I had to describe this lipstick in one word it's "Lux." Normally I wouldn't have been a huge fan of the packing, but the weight of this lipstick and magnetic closure... is what does it for me. The packaging isn't bad at all, it's just not my style. I would have preferred minimal lettering as the metallic pink exterior can easily stand on its own. but the weight and magnet makes up for it. The lipstick itself is thick, but creamy. SUPER pigmented. Even for a "nude" shade. I personally prefer dabbing it on or a little swipe and using my finger to smooth out the color on to the rest of my lips. If you're a full coverage lipstick person, you're going to love this. there is a thickness to this, but it actually quite comfortable. The finish is semi matte, but not terribly drying. As for the wear, it definitely transfers. For a "nude" color, I don't mind it. I'm not sure how I'd feel if it were a bold color given how pigmented it is, but I think you could help minimize transferring by blotting with a tissue. Even though it's not long wearing, I don't really mind that as I don't mind reapplying since it's pretty comfortable feeling. I would, however, advise against lining AND filling your lips with the lip liner AND layering with the lipstick of you have dry lips like I do. My lips felt and looked dry when I did that. If you want a matching lip liner, Badass is a good match, but I personally prefer my liner to be a bit darker than my lipstick and it was too close of a match for me, so keep that in mind if you want both. Would I buy this on my own? Proooobably not....mainly because I prefer a different tone of this type of shade for everyday. That's why I took off one star. I'm sure the bold colors are beautiful, but I prefer a true matte formula bullet lipstick to minimize transfer so I probably wouldn't buy those either. The formula IS great though. So unless they came out with my perfect "nude" shade, I probably wouldn't purchase anytime soon.
