Suffering from dry lips, I feel like Goldilocks when it
comes to lipstick, I struggle to find the right one. The long lasting and matt
lipsticks are way too dry and lip glosses are far too sticky with not enough
colour. The gloss lipsticks are almost just right but the colours don’t seem to
last two minutes.
So I am always eager
to try out new lipsticks.
BareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolor says ‘it combines the
coverage of a lipstick with the high shine of a gloss to deliver full-bodied,
velveteen colour with a comfortable longwearing finish.’

So what’s the verdict?
First Appearances:
From the package, it looks like a lip gloss and you apply like a lip gloss, but
I’m happy to say that the consistency is more of a lipstick, creamier and
thicker.
Initial application
- I was shocked at the thickness, so I’d recommend that you go easy on the
application, blot or smooth over with your fingers afterwards. It felt dry and
the more neutral colours such as Free Will seem to accentuate the lines on my
lips which was not a look I was hoping for. Luckily I restrained from wiping it
off straight away and allowed it to settle for the lasting impression.
Lasting Impression:
It only took a few minutes for the initial look to change to a more even and
smoother look, and for my lips to feel moisturised.
So only a little
hiccup at first before turning in to a Pretty Amazing Lipstick.

And the Colours?
The names of the colours were chosen to help empower women
for different situations. For example: if you had a presentation to give and
felt a little nervous, then apply some ‘Courage’; or you may want to apply
‘Charisma’ to have them eating out of your hands.
Just thinking of what you wanted to achieve and then
choosing the lipstick by name brought a smile to my face and a positive
attitude. Although I did consider cheating at the press day when asked to
choose the lipstick by name and match it with how I wanted to feel that
day. Even if I needed strength to keep
me going through the busy schedule of press events ahead, and although the
vibrant bright red colour was gorgeous, it just doesn’t suit my complexion. But
when they gave me the whole range of colours to play with and encouraged me to
mix the colours, I was feeling Free Will with a touch of Strength was what I
needed to get me through the day.
