$1.50 for one sample baggie with one small pat of product, $6.50 for one container with .15oz. of product.

Gravity is a sheer deep blood red.

This lipslick is very thick, but feels moisturizing and smooth on lips. The longer it stays on the silkier it feels, but even at first application it feels wonderfully creamy. There is a noticeable minty scent but it doesn't smell synthetic or too overwhelming, it is almost unnoticeable once you apply the slick.

Some of these lipslicks go on heavily, but Gravity is rather sheer. It is still pigmented and long lasting, but just not fully opaque.

Gravity is long wearing and doesn't feather. It does stain a bit, but I personally love the look of this stain.

Similar: Cherry Bomb by Wet N Wild, opaque, feathers.

CHAOS

Description from Tilt-shift-cosmetics.myshopify.com:

Chaos is an out-of-this-world pastel lilac colour, my favourite!

All lip products are semi firm with medium to full coverage and will melt on the lips when used.
They are lovingly hand crafted, and as a result may contain some negligible variations from tube to tube.
All lip products may stain and have a shelf life of 2 years. They are mildly scented using spearmint oil.
Our full size lipsticks are .15oz and come in a lip balm tube.
We create our products in a sterile environment and only use  ingredients that are FDA approved for use on lips.

Ingredients list from Tilt-shift-cosmetics.myshopify.com:

All lipslicks contain:
Castor Seed Oil, Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol, Olive Fruit Oil, Beeswax, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Glycine Soybean Lipds,
Lauryl Laurate, Carnauba Wax, Candillia Wax, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol,
Potassium Sorbate, Hexylene Glycol, Spearmint Oil.

Chaos' Ingredients:
Pigment Violet 16, Titanium Dioxide,

$1.50 for one sample baggie with one small pat of product, $6.50 for one container with .15oz. of product.

Chaos is an opaque lilac purple, which can be pastel if applied lightly or a bit darker if applied heavier.

The formula for this lipslick is very similar to Gravity. It is different to Gravity in that it is opaque and not sheer, and that obviously the color is different.

Still it is very silky, creamy, smooth, and heavily moisturizing. I seriously feel like I'm wearing my favorite lip balm while wearing these products. I also love the smell of mint.

It does fade over time but it doesn't transfer too terribly, or fade too quickly. You can of course build up the color again without messing up the rest of the lipstick, so fading isn't that big of a problem to me.

Similar: Lavender by NYX, lighter, more slippery, doesn't last as long; Violet by NYX, identical in color, more slippery, doesn't last as long; Castle by NYX, pearl finish, not as opaque, more slippery, doesn't last as long.

NEBULA

Description from Tilt-shift-cosmetics.myshopify.com:

Nebula is a bright, fresh, warm coral/pink colour. Hard to explain, beautiful to look at!

All lip products are semi firm with medium to full coverage and will melt on the lips when used.
They are lovingly hand crafted, and as a result may contain some negligible variations from tube to tube.
All lip products may stain and have a shelf life of 2 years. They are mildly scented using spearmint oil.
Our full size lipsticks are .15oz and come in a lip balm pot.

$1.50 for one sample baggie with one small pat of product, $6.50 for one container with .15oz. of product.

Nebula is a bright red-leaning orange.

T/S describes this color as a light coral and while I definitely get corally tones, my particular sample is definitely a reddish orange and not a pinky coral. As T/S says, though, there are negligible differences between each indie batch and there is a bit of room for difference.

The lipslick itself is opaque and long lasting. It does not feather or fade before its time.

It feels creamy and moisturizing like the rest. Again it also has a very nice minty scent.

Similar: Sweet Nectar by Milani, slightly more yellow; Mandarin Rapture by Maybelline, more glossy, sheerer (not cruelty free).

$1.50 for one sample baggie with one small pat of product, $6.50 for one container with .15oz. of product.

Solstice is a bright, opaque dusty pink rose.

This slick is very opaque and gives off quite a bit of color. The formula is as creamy, moisturizing, smooth, and silky as all the rest.

It doesn't fade too quickly, and doesn't smudge if you let it set for some time. The longer you leave it to set the less it will smudge. Solstice will not feather.

Similar: Wisteria Rose by L'Oréal, more satin, slightly pinker; Antwerp by NYX, matte, very similar in color.

Description from Tilt-shift-cosmetics.myshopify.com:

$1.50 for one sample baggie with one small pat of product, $6.50 for one container with .15oz. of product.

Equinox is a coral-pink opaque nude.

It looks very orange before putting it on your lips, but once on it picks up more of a pink tinge.

This lipslick is thick, like all the rest, in addition to being smooth and moisturizing. It does not feather or fade too much. Fading is of course a natural occurrence with lipsticks, or lipslicks if you prefer, but these products do not face very quickly. I am actually quite surprised at how well they stay, I was able to eat lunch without it fading nearly at all.

Similar: Naturally Chic by Milani, almost identical.

ZENITH

Zenith is a bright, royal purple.

$1.50 for one sample baggie with one small pat of product, $6.50 for one container with .15oz. of product.

Zenith is an intense blue-purple.

I love purple lipsticks, so I was quite pleased to see this one come out of the baggie. This is by quite a large distance the best dark purple lipstick I've yet tried.

Combining the smooth, lip balm-esque moisturizing mintiness with the wonderful color and pigmentation, I have a lipcolor that I will certainly be buying a full-size version of. It is a high quality lipcolor in spite of being priced on the same level as drugstore lipcolors.

Similar: Shameless by Revlon, darker, matte (not cruelty free).

AURORA

Description from Tilt-shift-cosmetics.myshopify.com:

Aurora is an explosion of cool-toned hot pink colour.

All lip products are semi firm with medium to full coverage and will melt on the lips when used.
They are lovingly hand crafted, and as a result may contain some negligible variations from tube to tube.
All lip products may stain and have a shelf life of 2 years. They are mildly scented using spearmint oil.

Lauryl Laurate, Carnauba Wax, Candillia Wax, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol,

Aurora's Ingredients:
Mica, Red #22, Titanium Dioxide, Blue #1

 $1.50 for one sample baggie with one small pat of product, $6.50 for one container with .15oz. of product.

Aurora is a cool-toned hot Barbie pink.

As a yellow-toned gal, cool-toned lipcolors work on me far better than warm-toned lipcolors. Especially with pinks. Because of this I have very few true pink lipsticks, but now after trying Aurora, I'll have one more for my admittedly small but growing collection.

The pigmentation on this color is good, but sheer. It is closer to Gravity with regards to sheerness. Still, it goes on smoothly and is moisturizing. It doesn't fade too quickly or feather, just settles into your lips with time. Even after wearing these products for hours they never felt drying or uncomfortable.

Similar: Fuchsia Fever by Maybelline, lighter, opaque (not cruelty free), Cherish by Revlon, less intense, less blue (not cruelty free).

CONCLUSION

I love these lipslicks. I don't normally go back to buy fullsizes after trying lipsticks, but I will certainly go back to buy at least a few of these in full size.

The qualities of these products are amazing and they all feel very comfortable.

One thing that I'm a bit unsure about is what sort of packaging the full sizes come in. On one place on their website, it says jars. In another it says pots. In another it says lipbalm tubes. I have no idea what I can expect to find in the mail when the fullsizes arrive. This isn't a super big deal, but it would be nice to know exactly what I'm getting or to find consistency throughout T/S's website.

Definitely go check out Tilt/Shift's lipslick selection, and also their eyeshadows because they're great. I can't wait to see more lipslicks from T/S.
