I've tried CG's lipsticks before and thought they were substandard, but CG came out with a great product this time. I bought Praline and Ginger Tea at a drug store where they had testers, and these are my 2 new favorite lipsticks. I own about every lipstick on the drug store market and some more expensive ones, so that is saying something. I love that these have a SPF 15 (partly broad spectrum). They have good coverage and a creamy consistency. Because this is a new product, some stores are only carrying about 10 shades, but there are about 30 shades out at some stores. Praline is the most beautiful neutral in pinky-plummy-brown, a true cream without any noticable shimmer. Ginger Tea has a lot of frost, similiar to Maybelline's Sunset Pink but a little more brown. The aquamarine blue and silver packaging is gorgeous too, nice and heavy and classier than many much more expensive lines. I really love this packaging and can only say that CG is making some impressive improvements.
