Product Review : Living Nature Lipstick in Laughter

After my kinda love hate review on my very first Living Nature Lipstick HERE, I actually won two more of such lipsticks. Naturally, I wanted to choose colors that are different from the one I own. UNFORTUNATELY, I'm once again unhappy to announce that there were only 2 shades left. Yes, I didn't get to choose again nor did they give me a range to choose from. But I didn't pay for these, so I don't have much of a complain, except that the review ratings might plunge because of the shades given to me.

Here's the first color I tested. Decent or not, you have to judge for yourself because everyone likes different colors.

Okay packaging is the same so we don't have to focus on that!!!

The ingredients list changes slightly with each shade so I'm gonna post up all the slightly different ingredients list.

One of the only two shades left, Laughter. Will it do better than Summer Rain?

Hmm, it still looks pretty dark doesn't it? I was a little hesitant already because I wasn't so sure that's my kinda shade.

It looked pretty okay here, like some-kind-of-a neutral reddish pink shade? I'm not very good with colors, Ringo probably does this part way better because she's an artist!!! So after swatching it, I proceeded to glide it all over my lips!

Okay, acceptable color. Looks alright but it isn't my favorite. I still prefer a glossy finish and IMHO gloss makes everything more wearable!

"The lipstick is moisturizing and does not cause my lips to peel which I really like. However the color choice is pretty limited. I won more lipsticks from them, along with Ringo and I wouldn't say I'm fully satisfied with the colors. The texture is wonderful though. The finish is neither matte or glossy, just a very slight sheen. It looks like I just changed the color of my lips in my lip swatch. The "amount of shine" is exactly the same.

Also, if you remember the ingredients list, this lipstick has no added fragrance. So it either smells like nothing or it'd smell not very nice. In this case, the lipstick smells a little like... Those cheap lipsticks =x BUT the smell disappears once it's on your lips so that's nothing to worry about. I just wished it had a fruity scent or a vanilla scent? I'm into those kinda fragrance." - The same description I gave to Summer Rain.

Would I fork out the $45 for this lipstick? Only if my lips are the extremely sensitive kind.

Texture : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (It's really smooth, nice and creamy.)

Pigmentation : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (I'd say it's superb but it may vary with the shades you choose.)

Lasting power : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (SUPER lasting. Even after it fades it's like a lipstain!)
