When I was given this I was a little under whelmed by the packaging. The gold tube looks pretty. The clear bottom showing the shade colour. Sadly it feels cheap and light.
The colour it self is beautiful my problem is the formula and finish. A bronze brown shade with a real pearlescent look to it.
On the lip it looks like a gloss, it's really pearly which I'm not a fan of. The formula I think is too soft and more a gloss stick than a lipstick. It wears off really quickly aswell.
The glossy finish isn't my thing either. I love a good matte finish. This brown would look beautiful with less gloss and more of a matte feel and finish (I'm only saying that because I love mattes). If you like a gloss that has a good pigment then these lippies are the ones for you.
I wouldn't be happy paying the RRP of $24.99 for this product.
Packaging: The square gold tube reminds me of a lippy Id find in my Nanas using, it feels a little dated, but overall the gold does give it a touch of class, and the cylinder winds well.
Product: This is a lot more pearly than Id normally go for and I guess I was hoping it would be a more subtle pink, I think because it holds in my lip creases/wrinkles due to the pearly effect it makes it more noticeable and vibrant.
Wear: It is super moisturising to apply and the moisture continues to last on my lips. I don't feel like I have to be overly careful applying it as it takes to my lips really well. I find surprisingly this lasts longer than Id expect and when it rubs off it leaves a nice pinky colour evenly on my lips.
Overall: I cant see myself using this all up, however I would be interested to try more from the colour range due to how it feels on my lips and the ease of use.
Tips: Blend this colour with other lipsticks to give a shine/gloss look and to add a touch of moisture.
