BYS Lipstick Duo

I brought this product from Kmart Ii think for around $7. I didn't like it as much as the lip sticks by BYS. Colours aren't true. They seem more faint. Doesn';t last as long either.

I got one of these in "Wild Berry", while in Aussie for only $4! Originally I was excited over having such an awesome lippy, a lipstick/lipgloss all in one, and it was so cheap! But, now I've been using it, my excitement's been replaced with disappointment and  I'm not so incredibly impressed. 

My one is a shimmery raspberry colour, and it has a sweet smell - reading the ingredients 'Parfum' is mentioned in it... Unnecessary to me because the smell doesn't last on your lips anyway, and who wants scented lips? I'd rather a more natural lippy. My mum was inspecting my new cosmetic and warned of lead possibly being in there too, on the ingredients topic,  because there are lots of chemicals with long numerical names listed - not something you want on your lips. 

I like the possibilities BYS lipstick duo gives this lippy though, and it is nice having a matching lipstick and lipgloss together. :) Although it's such a cheap buy, there's actually less there than it looks. Just a pocket of gloss and a skinny stick of lippy. The lipsticks thinness is the slightest bit annoying, because you can't just swipe it on in one go, but it has a really good shape to outline your lips and precisely colour in the ridges of your top lip, and then fill in the rest of your lips. The lipgloss brush is soft and does it's job, but when you pull it from the bottle it doesn't get much gloss  on it to use. The gloss is a little sticky but that's kind of expected from lip-glosses. 

I found this to be quite drying and it tastes very chemically (no, I don't eat lipstick) when you swallow. I prefer more natural products, and the ingredients in this are really bad, which will definitely put me off from using this again.

The colour is pretty and I do like it's sweet shimmer; but I won't be buying this again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, because it would just let them down. In future, I think it's best to save and pay a little more to get a good quality lipstick/gloss.

I picked up a couple of these while browsing Postie Plus a while ago. I actually think they are quite decent for the price.

Having a lipstick and lipgloss in one is very convenient to have in your handbag for those situations where you want to add something special to your daytime look.

The consistency of the lipstick is creamy albeit a little thick. The colours are well pigmented, I have them in both a light pink and a dark red, and both are fairly pigmented.

The gloss part is a little sticky and doesn't stay on long at all. The pink gloss goes well with the lipstick although the red one makes the colour a little dull looking so it's a bit hit and miss there.

Overall these are not the highest quality nor do they stay on your lips for very long, they are still worth the couple of dollars I spent on them and I like that I have them in my collection.

Just bought this for the first time today and it's great - stays on and love the colour. To me it had a nice fragrant smell as well.

I thought this would be a great idea, lipstick on one side and lipgloss on the other, but the 2 didnt go well together. The lipstick is a gorgeous pink, creamy texture and easy to put on but it comes off easy. The lipgloss was sticky and i didnt like the texture at all. After using it for a few months i threw it in the rubbish. For me i didnt like it at all and i wont be purchasing this again, i like BYS products but this isnt one of them
