LUSH Lipstick Review

I’ve used many bath and body products from LUSH so I thought it was about time I try some of the pretty lipsticks. Showcasing their colorful creativity, the brand packages these handmade pigments in cute glass jars and infuses them with nourishing jojoba and rose.

The collection includes a versatile range of bright, deep and neutrals tones in a variety of fun finishes. Although the caps resemble medicine droppers they are actually standard gloss applicators and the formula is very lightweight.

The first thing I noticed was how smooth the color glides across my lips before it melts in comfortably and sets with lacquer-like precision. The texture isn’t slick or glossy but the natural oils maintain a nice level of moisture to keep lips soft and hydrated with a hint of glistening shine.

Passionate is a bright fuchsia pink with micro-fine sparkle that blends in undetectably to create a luminous effect. The color is very buildable so layering subtly makes it appear light and soft while applying more makes the pigment stand out vividly for a bold look. The color payoff is full-coverage and quite intense which is great for spring and suitable for all complexions.

Out of all the color swatches online, Decisive was the one that stood out most. I expected it to be deeper but the classic pin-up red is beautiful and never goes out of style! The silky formula applies effortlessly and lasts a few hours before fading into a nice stain. The bright red is highly saturated with a mild undertone that works for all skin tones. I love pairing it with gold or neutral eye looks and a sharp winged liner.

Bubbly looks different than the swatch online but the frosty pink has a nice layer of shimmer that creates an iridescent, multidimensional effect. Unlike the other two shades above, this one has sheer coverage but applies consistently and looks quite dazzling.

The great thing about these lipsticks is that they are all-natural, non-sticky, gentle and non-drying plus blending a little onto the cheeks creates a nice blush! You can pick them up for $19.95 each at LUSH stores and lush.ca.
