A definite hit!!, 26 Jan. 2015

Well, I was intrigued by this lip tint as I hate Lipglosses that leave my lips sticky and get my hair stuck in it, and I hate lipstick that ends up all over my mug of tea at work and leaves me with 'bitty' remnants still stuck to the corners of my lips. Yuck. So, in the past I have used Bourjois lip stains which are quite good, and more recently, Maybelline 12 Hour lip sticks which are great at staying put, but are quite drying so I have to wear a layer of lip moisturiser first.

So, how did this fare? I loved the spongy applicator, it holds plenty of colour without being gloopy or drippy.

The colour spreads smoothly over my lips, giving good coverage.

The colour is a fabulous rich dark red which suits my skintone perfectly, (I'm olive-skinned)

The initial look is quite glossy, which then dries to a more matte stain, and I could kiss my son goodbye without transferring any colour onto his cheek (very important!!), and I was able to drink 3 cups of tea, and eat a...

Would leave lipstick on the collar, 4 Feb. 2015

My daughter tried out this one. Her views are as follows:

“This is definitely a very intense colour, and is in dramatic contrast to my skin colour. I wouldn’t rate the brush itself very highly as it is quite spongy and quite wide, so it’s not the easiest to use when trying to achieve a clean line, especially if you have thinner lips or towards the corners of your mouth. You can definitely feel that you are wearing lipstick as it does feel quite heavy. The colour can transfer onto your teeth and we all know this is a no-no!! When on your lips it looks quite shiny, but it doesn’t dry at all, so it tends to rub off onto glasses and suchlike. It feels like there’s a lot of moisture there, but I wouldn’t expect it to stay on well for the whole day. When you remove it (I used facial wipes), your lips are quite stained, so it would take a while (or some serious scrubbing) to get back to your normal skin colour. The general packaging is OK;...

Nice colour, good quality, reasonable price, 4 Feb. 2015

This arrived this morning so I thought I would give it a go straight away.It looks very attractive in the packaging and when i opened I was surprised to see a brush rather than a lipstick style tube.I have to say I prefer the brush style purely because it's easier to use less of the product if that's what you want.It was very easy to apply. It's applies nice and evenly and smoothly, it also makes your lips very soft and shiny.For me personally Parisian Passion is not my colour. I don't have the complexion to pull it off unfortunately. It is a beautiful colour but very bright an if you like to make a statement with your lips then I would think you would love the colour.It does also last a while, I wiped it off after having on for five minutes and even after I had washed my lips etc they still contained the colour slightly,,almost like I had sore lips. Well worth the money I think as this isn't expensive at all.
