I was so excited to try this lip tint, a cracking bright red lip tint perfect for Christmas Day I thought. I have a bright red dress picked out for Christmas Day this year and have been looking for a bright red lipstick to match, so while placing a recent lush order I added this to the cart hoping I would have the perfect red.
It comes in a small metal tin with a screw top lid, the tint is really hard so you have to swirl your finger around the product a few times just to pick up some of the colour. Once I get some of the colour I apply it to my lips, it's quite hard to apply and it feels like it's quite waxy. It has the same cola scent as the Santa lip scrub. The colour is red but not vibrant enough for me. It has a more of a matte finish and just looks really dull nothing stands out about it or really wows me.
This should also be renamed to a lip stain because sheesh does it take some scrubbing to remove it, leaving an orange stain behind on the lip that took a good amount of lip scrub to remove every trace of it. Overall I'm quite disappointed with this tint because Lush products are usually great, won't be using again and I am searching again for the perfect Christmas red.
I am a huge fan of Lush but unfortunately could not fall in love with this product. I found it super drying and the red tint came out more like an orange colour. I'm not sure if it is supposed to have moisturising properties, but for me I found it really drying and had take it off as it just didn't glide on very well. I even tried the lip scrub before it to see if that would make a difference. It also smelt like playdoh? The good thing about it though is the price and the amount of product you get in the tin as a little goes a long way. I didn't like it, but my friend did......lol
