Review (3/5): Pink I chose was a medium pink shade. Pink I got was a light bubblegum pink
This comes in an outer product box that is inside a sealed plastic bag. It is made in the US. The ingredients are listed. The product box says that this is “80% organic. Made with organic ingredients, cruelty free.”
This claims to be a moisturizing lipstick. That sounds great to me, because I hate the feeling of my lips being dry at all. It claims to be highly pigmented, and have lasting color. It also said it has a vanilla fragrance.
I liked that it’s made of 80% organic ingredients, and it also had botanical extracts and essential plant oils. Looking at the ingredients, there’s some great ones like castor seed oil, sunflower seed oil, Shea butter, cocoa seed butter, jojoba seed oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E.
The tube is plain matte black with the brand logo on the cap. It has some weight to it. It kind of feels like it’s metal, but when I pull the cap off, the cap feels like plastic. The bottom part where you twist the lipstick is the part that feels like metal. It’s also the part that has the weight to it. But I’m not sure if it really is metal or not. The cap pulls off. It goes onto the bottom part really snugly, so I don’t see it coming off accidentally.
I got the shade “Crazy For You.” The product photo swatch made it look like a pretty medium pink color that had maybe a little peach color to it. It looked really pretty! I don’t think the color matches the product photo swatch much. I still like the color, but it’s a lot lighter than the product photo made it look, and no peach in it at all. It’s a bubblegum pink color. It’s pretty light with 1 layer. I did 2 swatches - One is 1 layer, the other is 3 layers. Even with 3 layers it didn’t look as dark as the product photo swatch.
There is no vanilla scent at all. I found that really weird since the claims on the product box state it has vanilla fragrance and the last ingredient listed is fragrance. But there’s zero scent, not even a hint of scent. I don’t mind if lipsticks don’t have fragrance. I just find it odd to claim it has a certain fragrance when it has no fragrance at all! The formula is really nice. It’s very moisturizing. It doesn’t feel dry at all. So I agree with the claim that it’s a moisturizing lipstick. It lasts nicely on the lips, so I agree with the claim of lasting color. The color is pretty, but I wish it was the color I saw in the product photo. I wouldn’t say it’s highly pigmented. It has decent pigment. It might be the color I got, but 1 layer is light, and it takes 3 layers to get it to show up more.
Overall, I think it’s a nice lipstick. The packaging is simple but nice. The formula is moisturizing and the color lasts well. I don’t like that the color isn’t what I chose based on the product photo swatch. It’s not even close, aside from the fact that it’s pink. The product photo swatch is a medium pink color, with a hint of peach. The color I got is a light bubblegum pink. So, I’m taking 2 stars off for that. I thought about only taking 1 star off since I do like the color. But, when you choose a color of lipstick, you choose it for a reason (whether it’s a color you like on yourself, a color you want to try out, a color you like that you want in your collection, etc.). Whatever the reason for choosing the color you choose, you should get that color. I understand sometimes colors can be off a tiny bit when ordering things online. But the pink I received is way off from the pink I chose. Other than that, the formula is nice. If you like moisturizing lipsticks and don’t mind risking getting a color way off from what you chose, I’d recommend this!
