I was purchasing some things from beauty bliss and this lipstick popped up, I have never tried any carousel products so oopps into the shopping cart it went.
I love the packaging of this lipstick it's a square tube with the carousel logo on the lid, it's a really heavy weighty little tube that I love I feel like I won't break it with my fumble fingers!
The lipstick itself hasn't got a nice point at the tip, it's more round, now it's probably fine for those that are blessed with bigger lips but for my tiny lips I get a fair amount around my lips I feel like I really have to concentrate when I apply it.
I love the creamy texture of this lipstick, it feels quite moisturising. This lipstick doesn't wear off easily it stays on for hours even slightly staining the lip after its worn off.
I have the colour cotton candy which is a bright pink colour it's very similar to Max Factor's pomegranate. I would definitely buy more if the colours weren't so bright this one is very bright and has to be worn with caution on me.
I have this lipstick in 'Island Punch', a very vivid shade of purple that's almost blue in tone. I really wanted to love this on the strength of the colour, but the formula just doesn't seem to be a great fit for me.
It's a matte lipstick, but I found it a little too chalky in texture. I felt like it was a little too thick and dry, and sort of dragged on to my lips messily. Admittedly I do get better results with a brush. On the plus side, it's very long wearing on me but very drying.
The packaging is simple but great. The lid feels like it clicks on very securely compared to some other brands. There's nothing worse than finding a linty ruined lipstick without its lid in your bag!
This gets an intermediate score from me. The colour and wear is amazing, but I just don't like how this one feels on my lips.
Tips: Definitely use a lipliner, brush and a good lip balm with this one for better results.
