Differentiation Strategy

The primary differentiation is the significantly improved formula, which offers a hydrating, comfortable feel that directly contrasts with the reference product's dryness.

Packaging is elevated with features like a soft-touch finish and a magnetic closure, providing a more premium user experience than standard plastic tubes.

The lipstick bullet is shaped into a custom "teardrop" tip, offering a unique design and enhanced application precision.

The scent is updated to a more complex vanilla-mint, offering a familiar yet distinct sensory profile.

Success Replication

It replicates the iconic, vivid red color concept and the promise of high-performance, long-lasting wear.

The product retains the intense, rich pigmentation that provides full coverage in a single application, a key functional benefit of the original.

It maintains a sophisticated matte appearance, appealing to customers who desire a modern yet timeless look.

The inclusion of a pleasant, subtle scent provides a sensorial experience reminiscent of the original's signature vanilla aroma.
