A little while back, I picked up a few things from Lippy Girl, which is a Canadian-based cruelty-free company. You can read my brief overview of the company here. I originally heard about them through Twitter, but it wasn’t until Catherine from Buying Cruelty Free reviewed a few products here that I finally decided to place an order. I am so glad that I did, and many thanks to Catherine! J
Lippy Girl focuses mainly on lip products, but also make amazing baked blushes! I picked up one Organic Baked Blush, one Organic Lipstick and one Vegocentric Lipstick – basically one of everything! J For today, I’m only going to talk about the Organic Lipstick since it was the first thing I tried and absolutely fell in love!!!
I ordered the shade “Gobsmacked” which is a pretty pink that’s not too neutral, nor too loud. Right off the bat, I loved the shade so I was already impressed. I will say that picking a shade online is tricky, but there are a lot of photos of the bullets on the site, plus there are some photos on the Lippy Girl blog that show some shades on lips. I just guessed what I might like and went for it. I’m not really sure there is a shade I would have hated, so that’s another plus! J
Aside from the color, I noticed the tip of the lipstick bullet was rather unusual. It curves inward a bit at the tip, which I initially found kind of awkward until I realized the purpose…well, my guess as to the purpose! I use the tip to kind of lightly line the outside of my lips and then apply the lipstick like any other, and it makes for a well-defined lip without needing a liner! Genius! J I’m not sure how long the tip can continue functioning this way, but it’s kind of a cool little addition that I really like.
The lipstick itself is pretty incredible! It is really comfortable and the perfect balance between too creamy and too waxy/dry. I would say it has a satiny finish. It’s not at all drying, and it stays put! After eating, it does fade a bit, but it is still there and wears evenly. It doesn’t seem to settle into lines and is just all around impressive! As if that’s not enough, it’s made with herbal-infused organic ingredients that all help protect and nourish lips while making them prettier!
I would definitely recommend the Lippy Girl Organic Lipsticks and hope to collect many more!!! J I hope they continue adding to their color selections as well! Love, love, love this lipstick!
