Review & Swatches: Living Nature Lipsticks

A few weeks ago, the lovely people at Living Nature offered to send me some of their Lipsticks including their current best seller, Summer Rain Lipstick. After reviewing their make up remover a little while ago and being impressed, I jumped at the chance.

I immediately loved the packaging. I always think anything stored in a matte black container gives off more class and elegance. I have no idea why, its just something I like!

Ingredients

The box that the lipsticks come in contain all the standard information you would expect to see, plus a sell by date, as these products are all natural.

Onto the colours. I received Summer Rain, Warm Rocks and Warm Wood. I am not really a fan of brown lip colours although I would wear Warm Wood, as its a fairly light nude brown. My favourite, like everyone else, is Summer Rain, which is a light mauve-pink and suits my skin tone really nicely. (Probably doesn't suit the Red hair, but what the hell).

The Lipsticks have great pigmentation especially the darker shade, Warm Rocks, which has an almost matte finish, where as the other two have more of a sheen to them. What I love about these lipsticks is the fact they don't dry out my lips. I normally suffer with dry, chapped lips, but not with these, they glide on and leave my lips feeling soft and subtle when removed.

I really like the texture of these and I will definitely be wearing a lot more of Summer Rain, its a beautiful colour.

You can purchase these products from Living Nature's website for £15.00 each.

What do you think of the shades? Have you tried this brand before? Let me know what you think of them.
