As promised, here come more 100% Pure cosmetics reviews… this time, the Fruit Pigmented Lip Gloss (in Sheer Pomegranate Wine and Pink Caramel). I already talked some about these glosses here, but I figured a few more details can’t hurt.
The QVC site had a lot of reviews saying these glosses had hardly any pigment to them, so I first ordered one of the darkest colors based on that. I’m glad I did — the Sheer Pomegranate Wine color was very sheer indeed, and only gave me a slight boost to my natural lip color.
Fortunately, that’s exactly what I was going for! I then ordered the Pink Caramel, which is a bit lighter and has a touch of shimmer to it. Thankfully, the shimmer doesn’t feel grainy like mineral-pigmented lip glosses sometimes can, and sometimes it seems opaque-ish and sometimes it seems invisible. Hard to say.
The consistency is, well, pretty much like any other lip gloss. I like that it’s not too sticky and that it doesn’t have any grainy feel to it (which I find usually comes from shimmer particles — so who knows how the super-duper-shimmery shades feel). It’s moisturizing and, well, glossy!
Like most natural lip glosses, it doesn’t exactly have vavoom staying power, but it’s certainly no worse than other glosses, and I like the formulation better. (I find it’s hard to find nice, natural glosses that don’t contain shimmer — since so many “natural” companies are “mineral” companies, they use shimmery minerals that just annoy me for lip wear.)
These aren’t any real miracle, but I do like them quite a bit. And since I tend to accidentally ingest an awful lot of lip product when I wear it, I like that these are quite natural and non-skeevy ingredient-wise.
I’ll probably try some of the Silk Naturals glosses that Kris recommended, when I want a more pigmented look… but for now I’m happy with these two tubes in my purse!
I love this lip gloss. This line of makeup is for every girl that cares about what she puts in her body. This ingredients in this makeup are not formulated from petrochemicals, nor do the products contain any parabens, preservatives, or chemicals. They are not even tested on animals. I have not seen another product on the market like it. It is the only line that uses pigments from real fruit to add coloring. I love it!
The reason I love this gloss is because I dont have to worry about “eating” chemicals off of my lips.
If that wasnt enough, this gloss is easy to use and apply. It has a creamy texture and goes on very smooth. I like how it hydrates my lips and adds some color as well. I often layer it for more color.
Thank you Susie for caring enough about us and the environment to create this great line of cosmetics!
