I have this in the shade button, which I got as part of a gift pack. It's a gorgeous peachy nude shade perfect for everyday where.
I love how the packaging is like a pen and the small tip allows for really controlled application. It glides on smoothly and is well pigmented. I find its lasting power to be average but not incredible. There is definitely some transferring going on when I drink.
There's a lot of hype about how cheap these are and how they're super worth the money but I had a google and to me it's not that cheap. The actual amount of product you get is only 1g, considering a normal lip balm is about 3-4 grams. Although mine is only halfway through and I've used it quite a couple times, I can imagine it running out very quickly if you use it regularly.
I love these lip products. The packaging of these is really nice. Plain white with sparkly writing on it, the only down side is that the writing wears off over time meaning that eventually you will not know what brand or colour these are.
The shape of the product is really well designed, it is small and cut at a really nice angle so when applying you can create a nicely defined lip line without the need for lip liner or fear of overdrawing the lip shape.
These wear for a really long time and have even survived through a light snack without the need for reapplying. That being said the matching lip liners do help in the overall longevity of the lip colour. Although the lasting power is really good on these, they do transfer if you are not careful, especially when eating or drinking. I have ended up with colour on my chin from my lip hitting it when drinking out of a cup.
The primer really does help when applying these lip products. I have really dry lips all the time and find that even the satin version can be drying. So applying their primer which is a kind of chapstick moisturiser for the lips really helps with the application and not to dry my lips out. The matte versions can be sometimes very drying on the lips and can show lines in the lips very easily if not properly moisturised.
I currently own: Frida - satin Brink - matte Lumiere - matte Bichette - matte Dalia - matte Primer
After all of that I still love these lip products and will certainly be buying more in the future. The price is amazing for the product you receive and the pigmentation is near opaque creating a lovely lip colour that is amazing. I always receive compliments whenever I wear these lippie stix’s.
Tips: Moisturise lips before applying and exfoliate if possible
