For this reason, you're probably thinking that my review of Charm Lipstick will be a negative one, right? Wrong. Despite having no use for this product, I was rather impressed with the results I yielded from it, and if I ever change my mind about wearing lip stick, Lush will be my first port of call.

While most lipsticks I have tried have dried out my lips and faded within a matter hours (and I'm talking all of the big-name brands you can think of!), I was surprised and rather impressed to find that this one lasts a lot longer and leaves my lips still feeling full and well lubricated for hours.

As with all of Lush's lipsticks, eyeliners and eyeshadows, Charm is presented in a very practical packaging solution. The short brush means that the lipstick doesn't get 'lost' or wasted in the bottle and it's a lot easier to monitor how much you have left, without running out beforehand. Additionally, it also means that you have much more control when applying it; this helps you to style your make-up much more effectively. Finally, it makes an easy size to pop into your handbag and re-apply if and when you need to.

While the price tag of £14.50 initially made me rate it as rather expensive, when I compared it to other lip sticks of similar quality on the market, it's on par with the bigger-named brands. For this reason, I would really recommend that you try out this or one of Lush's other good-quality lip sticks - I guarantee that you'll be as impressed as I was.

I got this a few years ago and hated it - it's way too highly pigmented and the colour makes any skintone appear sallow and make whoevers wearing it look like a corpse.
ReplyDeleteNot really a constructive comment there! Some people like lighter tones. I love ashy greys/light browns for lips particularly.
DeleteI do like a lot of nudes and light pinks, I just think this one is awful
DeleteThat's a shame Julia - I actually find it quite weird that I like this as I'm much more of a 'bright red/orange' kind of girl. Perhaps it's because I'm naturally very pale, and it compliments my skin tone!
