Ok I loved the description here and the glamour of the advertising that went with this lipstick. The lipstick itself was fairly average.
What I did like about this lipstick was that it was natural and therefore much better for my lips than all those nasty chemical filled lipsticks. On inital application it was also a creamy lipstick with a matte finish.
But onto the not so good. Not that long after applying the lipstick stopped feeling creamy and started to feel drying which wasn't so wonderful. I also found the lipstick started to get a crumbly over time.
In terms of its packaging, a nice soild lipstick tube in a pretty cardboard box. I think Antipodes do a nice job of packaging their products and I love that they are New Zealand made, I just don't think the organic lipstick recipe is as good as it could be. But I have confidence that it will get there.
I received one of these lippies in a goodie bag that I got when I renewed a magazine subscription at the food show last year. I had high expectations as I have absolutely loved every other Antipodes product I have tried.
Sadly I was disappointed. I found it extremely drying on my lips and it had very poor staying power.
The ingredients and the packaging are really nice, but it just does not perform well enough for me.
