I have the shade ‘nude’ and although it’s a little darker than I was expecting, it goes on easily, it’s nice and creamy and it has a lot of pigment. It does transfer onto other things, but I find my lips don’t look like it has, only whatever it transferred onto which is really great for me!

Soooo I’ve got very dry skin, and that goes for my lips too. A problem I always experience with lipsticks is after applying it looks cakey and really enhances the dry patches on my lips. I’ll end up just removing my lippie altogether. Even after a lip scrub, I mostly have to apply lipstick over a chapstick, and that really impacts the wear. Mellow’s got the secret formula solution to my problems. I’ve got about 5 shades, and have gifted a few more to my mother that I steal from time to time. It glides over my lips, with or without lip scrub first, and settles in place leaving then looking and feeling fab! I thought that the matte finish would enhance the dryness but it’s so creamy (yet without feeling thick) that my lips look full and plump and perfect. They’re super long lasting and gradually come off so that you’re not left with a weird lip liner situation.
I’ve tried couple of shades from this range over the years - posh, danger zone and madness. Posh is a nude shade, danger zone is like a redy pink and madness is a deep red shade.
The packaging is a creamy gold applicator, kind of like a stylish bullet. It’s very cute and convenient to carry around.
I found the lipstick formula to be hydrating and nourishing. I wouldn’t say it’s fully matte, it does have a slight shine to them. These glide on easy and feels very creamy. The final look is a highly pigmented colour.
I believe this lipstick is so underrated. It’s worth a try for how affordable it is. I highly recommend it.
Tips: Use a lip scrub to remove dead skin before applying the lipstick.
I am a big fan of these lipsticks, as they aim to give you safe, ethical products, without a hefty price tag.
They have a big range of beautiful colours, and I admit I dream of owning every shade. They are smooth, creamy and easy to apply, without any strange taste or smell. The packaging is elegant and I feel glamorous just having this in my handbag, even on lippy-free days!
My one issue is that when I wear very dark or bright colours I find it does fade quickly in the middle with eating or drinking. I assume this is a standard issue for bright/dark shades as this is the only brand I've used for dramatic shades, but it does put me off a bit - who wants to go to the bathroom at the end of a family BBQ to find a dark outline but the rest of your lippy has come off??
Tips: If you're going for bright or dark shades take steps to help your lipstick stay so you don't end up with the dreaded lip ring!
