I received this little pot of goodness from my latest Lust Have It subscription box. I was ecstatic to see a gorgeous nude lip lacquer. This is the first time I've crossed path with a Mary Kay colour cosmetic product, I've been using their eye makeup remover and foot balm for the past few weeks and really enjoyed both products. I was eagerly waiting for my subscription box after I saw the Mary Kay sneak peak!
Product Information

- Moisturising and smooth
- Part of Mary Kay's limited edition Zen in Bloom Collection
- Includes a mini retractable lip brush
- Light weight
- Jelly texture
Cost: $18 - 0.14oz
Ingredients
Swatch/Application
- I don't usually reach for lip lacquers, mainly because they tend to be quite thick, this is surprisingly light weight.
- The colour pay off is minimal.... It's great if you want a very natural finish, I'd suggest you to find an alternative if you are looking for a "true" nude lip colour. I had to keep layering to achieve the above result. Personally, I really like natural looking lips. This would be a great combo with a coloured smokey look.
- The lacquer itself is highly glossy.
- I like the retractable brush, but it's difficult to apply the lacquer with the brush... or any brush in that case, I ended up using my fingers.
- Moisturising, my lips did not dry up. Although this is not a long wearing lacquer, it managed to stay put for a couple of hours.
- A tiny bit sticky. I think I'm just being picky here, the lacquer itself is not tacky or sticky but my hair would get stuck in it.
- The lacquer itself is scentless, great for sensitive lips.
- Very affordable, at $18 a pop I wouldn't hesitate to purchase.

Have you tried this product?
this is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! I love how it really is the same color as in the pot! I can't stand it when a nude shade ends up making my lips too pasty instead of being neutral or brown. I own nothing like this but I do love the glossiness!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot about Mary kay here.. They are sold through catalogue and sales representatives in Germany that's why I haven't tried any of their products because I know no sales rep in my area! LOL
ReplyDeletethis one sounds great! the color won't work on me, but I guess it works for you!! ^^
Not yet! I haven't gotten around to trying it just yet, but it's in the queue!
ReplyDeleteI love the packaging! Very nice review dear~ <3

ReplyDeleteI like the shine on this, the colour is pretty too but I don't think I've seen this brand before.

It seems a very good product! I would like to try it one day ヾ(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ!!!
ReplyDeleteI got the pink one, am quite liking it too. I should have got this one though cause I prefer a nude lip also, as I tend to do more with my eyes and need to keep it plain. Love the glossy finish. x
