First off - I love these!
I got three of these from Farmers - two of them in the matte and one of the lacquers. They were Buy 2 get the 3rd free which I felt was a great deal. The matte shades I purchased were 210 - Unapologetic and 220 - Showy.
I find these are very moisturising on my lips. Others have said the balms dry out their lips but it is the opposite for me. I like the texture of them and they smell minty which I also love. The mint also feels like it gives you a little bit of plump to your lips as well as often after doing my first application my lips tingle a wee bit.
They are so easy to apply, they dry fairly quickly and the formula is buttery and when you rub your lips together it feels good to me. They are very opaque, you don't need to do more than 1-2 swipes. The balms last a while on your lips, I usually will go to work and only have to reapply after eating lunch, they last while I drink a cup of tea or coffee.
The colours are gorgeous, I will repurchase and have more shades on my wishlist already!
I LOVE these matte lipsticks! The colour range is incredible, I now own 3 of this range and all suit my skin and eyes. The buttery shea texture is nourishing and soft so no need for a balm underneath. The colour lasts for hours and I only need to reapply after eating a meal and its' pigmentation is amazing. The colours are so bold and dense, and people always comment on my lippy when I wear it out. I feel the pepperminty scent it has naturally plumps my lips which is always a bonus. It has cute and handy packaging that fits nicely in the handbag or evening purse, and I like that they are the the same colour on the packaging as the colour of the lippy so there's no mixing them up when you're in a rush. They are reasonably priced, average about $22 which I think is fine to pay for a product that really works and looks gorgeous and finished. The ONLY downside to this lippy is that it starts off pointed, which is perfect to give that defined cupids bow, and as it wears down it becomes rounded like a normal lippy so is harder to complete the bow.
