I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- The shade is supposed to be "peach" but it's completely pink on me...
- ... and on top of that incredibly shimmery and a lot lighter than my natural lips! I totally look like I'm a kid playing with barbie makeup or something.
- Smells like cheap plastic too.
- Turns patchy almost immediately. All dry spots and texture are very visible.
- The color payoff is quite poor, you have to swipe your lips several times to get an even layer.
- Don't think it's very long lasting, half an hour after application it was all over the glass when I drank water. Not transfer proof at all. (However, it doesn't promise to be.)
+ Doesn't feel drying.
+ Feels very smooth to apply, no tugging.

* I think I'm not being very fair with all the negatives with Lindex Beauty lipstick, but this is just my opinion on my skin. I'm warm/neutral skintone (perhaps even olive?) and my skin always makes lipsticks pull too pink. Still, I thought something that was named "Peach" wouldn't do that. The pink shimmery thing on my lips just made me too horrified to even consider wearing this lipstick outside.
* I don't have very much experience with lip products and I don't own many of them, but still I do know immediately if I like something or not. Strange how obvious everything is when it comes to lips.
* I am going to try to repurpose the lipstick as a highlighter/blusher, let's see how it goes! If it doesn't work, I might just have to trash it sadly.
* I took a quick look at the other cosmetics that Lindex offers and they don't look bad at all. I mean, this lipstick doesn't look bad either, only when I'm wearing it on my lips. Still I don't know if I would actually buy anything else from the line up though.
Price:
9,99 €
Bought from:
Got as a free sample sometime ago from Lindex
Buy again?
Never did in the first place and will not in the future.
Worth the money?
Definitely not for me. I mean, think of all the things you could get for a whopping 10 euros! Why Lindex lipstick when there are so many options out there? Sometimes the make up lines from clothing brands are good, at least a couple of items out of them, but this lipstick sure wasn't one of them. It's not even close to wearable in this shade for me and even if it were another shade, it still transfers and accentuates dry spots and other unevenness despite being creamy. I'm glad I didn't pay for the lipstick (the colour does look nice in the bullet!) but now I have to figure out how to get rid of it.
