Comfortable, moisturising, won't budge
I finally bought this lipstick after numerous recommendations. I enjoy wearing cream lipstick but it is a struggle to find ones that stay where you put them and do not move around my lips (and around them). This lipstick is the one for this. It goes on very easily but has some grip to it as you're putting it on. Once on the lips, I feel like it is in place and won't travel. It just feels secure and comfortable. The formula is creamy (but with more of a satin finish rather than super lustrous) and hydrating (I struggle with dry chapped lips a lot) and this lipstick keeps my lips hydrated as long as it's on. It has a very good staying power, especially when I just drink (tea for example) it just stays in place (other than some expected smearing). It wears off really nicely, not patchy like some others. Even when it’s almost completely removed it looks to me like my lips are still stained with the colour so I still have some colour to my lips and it looks pretty natural. However, when removing with a makeup remover it goes off very easily with oil-based products. I picked up the shade 225 Rosewine. This is a beautiful full bodied brownish red colour which is perfect for autumn. I tend to pick red lipsticks with more warm/brown undertones rather than pink undertones because I feel those are the most flattering for me. I can see this working very well for warm-toned skin types and darker skin types. Honestly, this is my new favourite and I now take it everywhere with me. It's always in my purse.
