Mellow Ultra Matte Lipstick in Madness Review

Madness is a beautifully pigmented Red lipstick, it's glides on smoothly and keeps your lips hydrated.

I found madness more of an orange based red on my lips so it did make my teeth look a bit yellow but it matched my Olive skin tone perfectly and complemented my simple cat eye.

The only down side I found was that the lid didn't shut properly so I couldn't carry it in my handbag.

I love this brand especially because its a local NZ brand and also because it is cruelty free, paraben free and vegan! The lipstick itself is so so smooth and creamy even though it's matte. It is so hard to find creamy matte lipsticks because I find that most brands dry out my lips so much. These don't at all and my lips are still fine after wearing these for an entire day. The application is also really nice although I would recommend lip pencil because since it's so creamy, the colour can move around a bit

I bought Mellow's lipstick, Madness, after learning about the brand from BR, and deciding to check out their website.

The matte lipstick comes in a cream case with gold accents, and "Mellow" written in gold on the outside of the case. Mellow is also engraved into the lipstick itself.

The lipstick looks and feels great on. The formula is actually only slightly matte, more of a satin, so Mellow are correct in describing it as a creamy matte lipstick. It does not dry out my lips like other matte lipsticks do. It also has very good staying power, with only slight touch-ups needed throughout the day after eating and drinking.
