Formula Overview
$34.00/0.05 oz. - $680.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "10-hour wear" that has "one swipe, instant payoff" that is "transfer-resistant" and "lightweight" with "all-day comfort." Those are some big claims, and while I think the formula is solid--lightweight, longer-wearing, and semi-opaque to opaque in coverage--they don't quite last 10 hours (more like five to six hours, which is good just not ridiculously long as claimed).
They have a lightweight, more of a velvety-cream feel that helped them apply comfortably without dragging and be somewhat forgiving of lip texture, but I would recommend proper exfoliation prior to wearing these. They were somewhat transfer-resistant but lost most of that resistance after a meal, and they tended not to last that well through a meal in general (part of why they don't get to 10 hours). The formula felt more non-drying to barely-hydrating, so comfortable as claimed.
Worth mentioning, they did not swatch so well on my arm but applied significantly better on my lips, which is something I have found to be true with more silicone-heavy lipstick formulas. They had no discernible taste or scent.
Note: The lipsticks are in a slim-style bullet, which is typically much smaller than the average lipstick (often around 0.07 oz. for a slim lipstick vs. 0.10 oz. for a standard tube), but these are 0.05 oz. a pop, so they are quite small.

Again, I wish Mogador was a bit better as I like the color. I just keep scratching my head at Nars lipsticks scoring so poorly overall. What is up with Feel My Fire as Nars has four of the dupes. Maybe time to reformulate again and expand the color range.
Even though it only got a B- grade, I absolutely LOVE Mogador! This IS “Autumn in the Northeast” captured in this one lipstick perfectly!
In keeping with my age and our mum’s advice to dress for every occasion, I wore Lee in honor of the hurricane. 😂😂😂I got that Man Ray coffret a few years back. A statement display with 4 grand shades. And now this? Seriously?
Mogador would be my pick out of the two – but the ridiculous wear time claims mar the results.
