silk naturals organic lipstick in bombshell. usd$5.75.

color of lipstick. it's describe as red, a really really red.

color swatched at the back of my hand.

color on my lips.

in real life, the color isn't as bright. it's deeper and quite close to the color swatched at the back of my hand.

my thoughts

i have a thing for red lippies. this is one of those perfect classic red.

this is very moisturizing and pigmented. (though the degree of pigment isn't as great as de leon's lipstick balms.)

i was surpised how pigmented this is, when compared to my small collection of silk natural lipsticks, which are very sheer. after going through the website again i realized what i have are kisser slicker lipgloss sticks, which belongs to another category in the lip products.

this comes in a slim tube. i like the label, which is better than the ones that i own (with the current ones, the label is just like normal paper quality and the print will fade and become completely nothing).

the staying power lasts better than the kisser slickers, but will fade over time and eventually disappears. it will also leave stain on the cup.

like other sn lippies, this is scentless. love!

if you like red lipsticks, you may consider adding this to your collection!

in action

here's a look from last weekend wearing this lipstick.

on my eyes, de leon cosmetics eyeshadow in #44 dashed lips (a nice red shade) all over the lid and leftover colors on lower lashline, and blended out with black rose minerals eyeshadow in candy floss.

my order from silk naturals

this lipstick is part of my recent order. i mainly wanted to order the lip balms since i was quite impressed with the one i bought a few months ago. the eyeshadow duo was a special offer at the time, for only $3! what an irresistable offer!

i ordered on 23/8, shipped the next day and arrived a month later! this is quite unusual. orders in the past usually arrive within 2 weeks. the site's faq says to wait for 6 weeks before contacting them. i was debating if i should contact them before 6 weeks and was pleased that they finally arrived safely!

i will post reviews about these soon.
