Great formula terrible handle..
I absolutely love the formula and colors, but I have Lupus and the handle was short square and fat, and very difficult to hold in my hands especially if I was in pain that day, I returned both and am praying that they come out with better packaging, but I'd recommend it to someone well any day and twice on Sundays!! Lol 😁😁😁😚😍
Not holy grail...
Just for reference this review is for the shade "Dulce de Leche". I would describe the colour as a mix between a mauve and a dusty pink nude, it pulls quite mauve against my pale olive complexion.
This product ticks a lot of boxes for me; the texture is smooth and creamy, feels lightweight and super comfortable to wear while being long-wearing, and the packaging is very aesthetically pleasing, but there are a few things about it that made me take those two stars from this review. First off the scent: it's very strong, like a sickeningly sweet vanilla icing. I can see how some people might like it but the problem for me is that it lingers for the entire time I'm wearing it and it makes me feel a little nauseous after a while. Then there's the applicator; the short length of the cap makes it a little uncomfortable/awkward to hold, and of on top of that the material of the doe foot applicator is really stiff (I'm used to soft and fluffy applicators that can"mold" to the shape of your lips). It almost feels like I'm applying the lipstick with a stick, which leads to a lot of streakiness. To avoid this problem I tried applying the product with a lip brush, and while the streakiness did die down I could still see slight patchiness/streaks throughout my lips, nothing major but it was there. I think this is mainly due to the white base of this particular shade so I will probably try out a deeper shade next time and see how it compares. All in all I wouldn't repurchase this shade, but would be willing to try the darker colours in the future.
