I'm guessing you guys already know I love a bright colour, right? If not, I'm doing something very wrong here. Whether it's my makeup, my hair, my clothing or even my tattoos; a bold colour will always go down very well with me. So when Kiss Cosmetics* sent me one of their brand new products ready to review, I jumped at the chance!
Can we first and foremost talk about the packaging? I know it means nothing in terms of how good a product is, but it is our first impression into the care and quality. And let's face it, we're all suckers for something that draw in the eye.
This bright,bold, bubblegum-esque lipstick is a heavenly addition to my makeup collection, and quite fitting for someone as colourful as I. I honestly did a little 'squee' for Kawaii girls everywhere when I opened the package and seen it.
Next up; The smell. Yes, you read that right. I noticed as soon as I applied it, that it had the most beautiful scent for a lipstick; which I don't think I've experienced with others before. It's hard for me to describe, but I think 'sweet' is as close as I can come to doing it justice. And no, not sickly sweet or cheap like those terrible lipsticks you'd get free with magazines as a kid. Oh the nostalgia...
The pigmentation is simply amazing, especially considering this is a lipstick that will be available for only £7! No need to keep reapplying with this bad boy, one quick swipe and you're ready to go. It is bold and beautiful; so basically everything I want in a lipstick. The exact shade is 'Osculate Orchid' which is a dreamy deep purple with a pink undertone.
The creamy, rich formula worked wonders on my lips; which tend to be quite dry. The power behind my pout felt immense as I wore this at the weekend, and very me. I'm quite the sucker for a purple lipstick anyway, and this has fast become my favourite.
The KISStick Osculate Orchid is going to be available from 20th May so be sure to visit the website and nab one up quick!
It's an exciting shade from an exciting brand, and I'm definitely going to be purchasing a few products from them in the future.
