I love lipsticks, but since phasing chemicals out of my beauty regime, I have missed them. Sinceย I binned my traditional lipsticks, I’ve been trying to find theย perfect natural lipstick. I tried the NATOrigin Lipstick ย and really liked the formula. Unfortunately, the colour didn’t suit me.ย As Iย absolutely love PHB Ethical Beauty’s Mascara andย their Blusher, I decided to try PHB Ethical Beauty 100% Pure Organic Lipstick in Camellia.
When it arrived, I loved the colour immediately. It doesn’t show up well in the picture but it has a shimmery, frosted finish, which is a bit eighties. It’s a blue toned pink, and very bright!
Wearing PHB Ethical Beauty 100% Pure Organic Lipstick
The lipstick bullet is quite hard, compared to other lipsticks. You either have to press quite hard, or blast it for a few seconds with your hairdryer. That softens it up nicely. It gives a good pop of colour once it’s on, so it’s worth the extra effort.
I haven’t been able to show the colour that well. It actually looks lighter and brighterย than it looks here, with a frosted finish. It feels nice and moisturising and has a good pigment level.
I found it looked differentย when I used a lip liner. I used the PHB Ethical Beauty Lip Crayonย in Tigerlilly, which is a warm nude pink. It made the lipstick look warmer too and I preferred the colour. It also has a crisper finish with the lip liner and it lasted better.
PHB Ethical Beauty’s Eco Credentials
If you follow my blog, you’ll know I am a big fan of this brand’s ethics which include being a British family business, who donate 20% of their profit to charity. They make their products from 100% naturally derived ingredients, which are all handmade in the UK. PHB Ethical Beauty 100% Pure Organic Lipstick is free from nano particles, parabens, bismuth oxychloride, talc, formaldehyde, mineral oils, fillers, gluten, fragrance, preservatives and GM ingredients. It’s also Vegan, Cruelty Free and Halal Certified.
So what do you think to the PHB Ethical Beauty 100% Pure Organic Lipstick? It’s so bright I wouldn’t consider it an ‘every day’ lipstick, but it’s perfect for those days when you need a bold pop of colour! It wears well, and is comfortable, and though the shade is a bit over the top for every day wear, they have so many other shades there is sure to be one that suits.
That shade really suits you. I like the Ere Perez and Lippy Girl lipsticks. x
Ooh thanks I haven’t tried either of then, I’ll check them out! Thanks for the recommendation xx
I discovered PHB last spring and I love their skincare. Regarding their make-up range, well,I’m not so sure. I bought 3 lipsticks,raspberry,mulberry and apricot. Like you I love the colours plus the fact they’re organic and good for you. Yet the texture makes them difficult to apply. I usually have to scrape the top of the bullet as it becomes very hard. They don’t have a lot of staying power,either, and tend to settle into my lip lines.
Thanks so much for your comment, I have only tried a few of their skincare products but have been impressed. The lipstick is quite hard isn’t it, have you tried melting it slightly with a hairdryer before you put it on? That’s what I do, and it helps. I also use a teeny bit of lip balm before I apply it, that might help? xx
Thanks for the suggestions. However I still feel disappointed with the PHB lipsticks. After a few weeks, they get even harder to apply and not only the colour but also the taste have altered, they seem to have oxidized. xx
Ooh that’s not great! I haven’t used mine for a few months, I will have to check and see if anything has happened to mine. xx
