Here I'm modeling Perfume of His Gaze Sheer Lipstick. |
The Colour Burst Lipsticks ($29) glide, depositing conditioning moisture from their special plant-based ingredient, Volulip and shea butter in a formula without parabens, which is nice to know when dryness can be a problem in some brands.
This is the shade of Irreverence. |
Irreverence is described on the company’s website as creamy natural rosy-pink. Some pale colors can have a tendency to wash me out being I am fair to light. However, this shade was a far superior pink-nude with the excellent balance of rosiness to offset the nude color. It’s a perfect choice for me now, but the more bronzer I put on or sun that my complexion gets, the prettier this shade looks.
This one is The Plot Thicken Colour Burst Lipstick. |
The second Colour Burst Lipstick I tried was The Plot Thickens. It is a creamy pale rosy, nude-beige. I found this one slightly too pale, having more baby pink and soft beige to make it work for my coloring. It looked better when I added more color with a bronzer. Yet, I think this particular shade would best compliment those with a medium and especially deeper complexions the most.
The Sheer Lipstick ($29) is anti-aging and a moisturizing formula with hilurlip and rosehip butter that doesn’t bog lips down with heavy ingredients. This formula has plenty of color, but it is not a thick, heavy appearing stain. At the same time, it is not a see through color, but just nicely in between with its richness.
This is Perfume of His Gaze, which looks darker in the tube than on lips. |
Perfume of His Gaze is a cool-toned rosy taupe that honestly will look good on all complexions, whether bronzed or not, all year round. The rose, mauve and brown tones that compose this color are fascinating with depth without being dark in its many facets.
Starting on the left is The Plot Thickens, Perfume of His Gaze, Irreverence, and Roald lip pencil on the right. |
I also tried Long-Lasting Lip Pencil ($24) in Roald. This is a creamy formula that doesn’t tug when using it and does a wonderful job for outlining lips. Roald is a light mauve that went well for these choices.
The Roald Lip Pencil is a versatile choice that you can't go wrong with. |
