If you read my last post, then you know I was super disappointed by the Hard Candy lip set this holiday. This set by LORAC however...this gift set is a winner. For $24 you get three full size Pro Matte Lip Color pencils, one permanent shade and two limited edition shades. These lip colors retail for $16 each. I think this set is a wonderful gift, especially for those who like true matte lip colors without the drying discomfort that those types of products can cause. The theme this year is so pretty. I know some people aren't a fan of the blue but I dig it. In this set you get two limited edition colors, "French Rose" and "Mulberry", and one permanent bestselling shade, "Pink Taupe". I think the color selection of this kit has been done quite well; you get a light pink and a nude and then a nice wearable holiday red color. I think a wide range of people will be able to get a lot of use and enjoyment out of the colors in this kit. That being said, they're not unique colors, so if you're looking to gift to a lip product junkie, this might end up being a bit redundant.

And here's the actual product description from Ulta:

The PRO tip hugs the curves of your lips with precision and control while the weightless, PRO formula easily glides on with a long-lasting, matte finish. PRO Matte Lip Color comes in an array of highly-pigmented, buildable, rich colors from natural nudes to vibrant hues for a modern, matte lip in any shade you desire. Color, line and define, just like a PRO!
These apply smoothly and are decently pigmented. They look very matte on the lips, which I love. They're scented like vanilla and I love that they have a super lightweight feel on the lips. They're very similar to the e.l.f. Matte lip pencils, but have a more matte finish on the lips and feel a bit thinner and less drying while on. I would still recommend exfoliating your lips before any matte lip product but these won't exaggerate dry patches. Wear time is good, at least four to five hours if you're not eating or drinking and they reapply over themselves nicely. Overall I'm a huge fan of this particular formula and definitely recommend this set if you, or someone you know, would enjoy these colors and the matte finish.
