They can be a bit dry, I have two of these and the colours are wonderful but the formula is quite dry and looks pretty bad on the lips after a few hours. I prefer £3 wet n wild ones which last me way longer. I do love the magnetic closure on these and the shape is different which I like. I'll use them but they are not my favourite.

I am in my late 20's/early 30's with oily, fair tone skin and green eyes. My hair is light brown, normal with normal texture.
I purchased 6 of these lipsticks on a visit to my local kiko store in shades 302, 304, 314, 315, 318 & 326, they are amazing! Firstly the packaging, I've never come across a lippy like it, the cases are magnetised so they stay securely, which is great if you throw one in your handbag, they just feel really nice. They apply really well a very creamy formula that drys down matte & they have pretty good staying power and seem to fade out well. 302 & 326 are really beautiful nude shades, I used them a lot, the others are darker more purple/red tones. The only thing I can say I don't like about these lipsticks is they seem to have a strong vanilla scent to them, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scented lip products, but I have happily moved past this purely as they are just too good to pass up on. HIghly recommend.

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with combination, light tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is medium brown, normal with normal texture.
The lipstick comes in a little matte black box. The lipstick is an unusual shape but very intelligent. It is magnetic and has the colour sticker on the bottom. The actual product itself it very soft and like it says a velvet matte. I would not recommend if you love a full matte lip. The colours are beautiful and full pigment. I used with and without a liner and there was not much difference but I can’t speak for all of their shades.
I would recommend this to everyone.
It makes a perfect gift as you can engrave a two line message into it for £1.00. You can also choose a symbol to go with the message. It is an amazing lipstick for £4.80.
Or £5.80 with engraving.

I am in my late teens/early 20's with combination, medium tone skin and brown eyes. My hair is dark brown, normal with normal texture.
Picked one of these up in the sale I the first thing i noticed was the packaging- I really like the smart mechanism and it felt like a good quality lipstick. The lipstick itself is very soft whilst being a matte, i felt it didn't go full matte on the lips but i think i prefer that, the color i got was a winter berry shade and its great to wear in all weathers. I would like to try more in the future!
