Review (4/5): Very sparkly
[[VIDEOID:d6cdea0c18d5911b6ddf88504e4441c9]] I expected a subtle shimmer with this lipstick, but it actually gives off more of a glittery look. I don't like to draw that much attention to myself and the color wasn't quite right for me, so it was a bit much for me at first, but I've figured out how to apply it to best suit me. I found that if I apply a light layer of this over my usual lipstick it adds just a bit of deeper color and a shimmer to give it a nice new look. I also found that if I do just a light layer of only this lipstick the color is more subtle and suits me better. If you like a lot of sparkle, you will love this. It really leaves your lips shining in the sunlight. Occasionally some of the glitter flakes will land on other places on you too, but it isn't really bad about that. The lipstick itself is a really good lipstick. It glides on easily and evenly and feels moisturizing. You will notice more of the moisturizing feeling if you apply it heavily, however, so with my light application that feeling doesn't last long. The color doesn't seem to last any longer than any other lipstick, but I never feel like any of them last too long. The case of this lipstick is actually quite nice as well. It is very smooth and shiny and has a bit of a weighted feel to it. The lid is magnetic so as you go to close it up the lid snaps itself shut. I appreciate the lack of parabens, sulfates, etc and that it is cruelty free as well. Due to the fact that the current listed price of $42 for one stick of lipstick is quite above budget for me, I will not purchase this one again. However, if that weren't the case, I would be interested in trying some of the other shades.
