As I am sure you can tell from some of my most recent posts, I have gotten very
fond of brightly colored lipsticks lately. So today I wanted to review one of
my new go-to lip products.
Born Pretty’s Almonds Oil Natural Cream Moisture Gloss Lipstick in Color #1
Shine:
On a scale of Jazz Dance Performer to Chalky Mess (which
yes, I feel like is the perfect scale for lipstick shine) this lipstick falls perfectly
in the middle. Although I typically tend to lean more towards matte lip
finishes, this one has definitely won me over.
It has the most amazing, delicate sheen! The finish picks up the light
perfectly, but at the same time, doesn’t make you feel overly done up.
Rating: 5/5
Moisture:
This is something Born Pretty stresses a lot with relation
to this product and I extremely happy with the amount of moisturizing this
lipstick provides. Generally, when applying lipstick, I apply a moisturizing
finish separately. I wore this lipstick all day and didn’t apply a single layer
of lip balm.
Rating: 5/5
Color Accuracy:
Especially when shopping online, it can be difficult to
ensure color accuracy for lipstick. Countless times, I have purchased a lip
product, either online or in closed packaging, and found that the color shown
is quite different from what the product looks like once applied. This was not
the case with this product. The color shown on the screen was extremely close
to what the applied product looked like.
Rating: 5/5
Coverage:
When I first applied this lipstick, I was surprised by how
lightly it went on. Compared to the lipsticks that go on heavily, though, I
quite like it! Instead of applying and trying to evenly dab off what you don’t
want, you can build it to the coverage of you choice. I can see how other
people might not be as fond of this, but
I like the fact that I am in control of the amount being applied.
Rating: 4/5
Long wear:
product. Will I have to reapply all day? With this product, the answer is no. I
applied Born Pretty’s Almonds Oil lipstick around noon and wore it for the rest
of the day. An hour after applying, I drank a coffee and there was practically
no transfer to the lid! The longer I wore it, the more I liked it!
Rating: 5/5 Overview:
I am ecstatic over this product! It has a soft sheen that is
perfect for both shiny and matte lipstick lovers alike. It has moisture and
coverage that lasts for hours and a pigmentation that lets you build and apply
to your heart’s content. Best of all, though? The price!! At $4.26, this
lipstick comes in lower than most drug store brands. Plus, it’s on sale right
now for only $2.56!!
