Beautiful, but I just can’t!
✨Ugh, this product is so nice, is so frustrating I can’t buy it again! 😭
This Lippie is the mattest I’ve ever seen from a bullet lipstick whilst in the component, it looks absolutely stunning. It surprised me that when applying it was not drying at all, and was really creamy and easy to apply. I applied it at 9am in the morning and did not retouch in the day, and it was still there at 7pm! Talk about longevity! The colour is SO pigmented it is beautiful, words just don’t do it justice! The packaging is amazing and looks so sleek. It’s a really weighty piece and feels so luxe - I especially love the lips where the join is.
So why wouldn’t I purchase again when everything sounds amazing? Well, stupidly I thought because the product was so expensive (£36) I assumed it would be cruelty free - a silly assumption on my part! I am so upset that Pat charges a fortune for her products, yet still chooses to sell in China.
Another reason I can’t purchase again in the packaging. Don’t get me wrong, it looks freakin’ amazing, but it so bad for the environment. It comes in a plastic pouch, filled to the brim with plastic sequins. All of this just ends up in the bin and I can’t see many people reusing it.
So, the moral story for myself, is do proper research before making a purchase. I am so gutted because the product is so beautiful, but harms animals and the environment in the process.
