Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks

"Discover lipsticks so healthy you could almost eat them™",  is the statement that arrives with three divine looking lipsticks from Antipodes. Statistics state that over a lifetime, we women ingest up to 7lbs of lipstick, so Antipodes have decided to create a lipstick range that is packed full of ingredients that are not only safe to consume but actually healthy. Forget the Wotsits, pass me the lipstick!

I was sent three lipsticks from a range of 12. Meet 'Westcoast Sunset', 'Dusty Sound Pink' and 'Piha Beach Tangerine.' Each one is presented in a brightly coloured box to match its descriptive name.  

  • West Coast Sunset - A smoky red-orange
  • Dusty Sound Pink - A Vintage pink
  • Piha Beach Tangerine - Vibrant Orange

So first off, here's the brief on what they contain.

  • Avocado Oil: packed with essential fats, vitamins and minerals, our ‘Green gold for skin’ helps to increase collagen production and keep your lips beautifully dewy and fresh.
  • Calendula Oil: healing oil from the marigold flower has anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Evening Primrose Oil: this edible oil is so rich in healthy fats it’s used as a natural dietary supplement.
  • Argan Oil: the Moroccan nut oil balances oil production and hydrates lips for a soft, moist finish.
With added antibacterial beeswax, deeply moisturising shea butter and jojoba oil, including extra Vitamin E for extra lip nourishment. All of the lipstick ingredients are from natural origin, with only low levels of FDA-approved colour pigments added for vibrancy.

So, speaking of vibrancy, let's get to the part you all want to know, what are the lipsticks like?

Each of these are super vibrant to look at, so I had high hopes when swatching. Thankfully, they didn't disappoint. These are incredibly pigmented and each boasts a highly vibrant shade that I'm excited to use throughout the upcoming Summer months. 'Dusty Sound Pink' is my favourite of the three shades. It is a classic vibrant true vintage pink. This teamed with a glossy eye will be my go-to summer look.

The lipsticks are moisturising and glide on to the lips without feeling too 'balmy'.  Normally with such a moisturising finish, I'd assume these would need to be reapplied throughout the day but actually, they have quite an impressive wear time.

All in all, I'm impressed with the Antipodes Moisture Boost Natural Lipsticks. I was surprised to read the statistic that over a lifetime, us women ingest up to 7lbs of lipstick, so knowing these lipsticks contain 'safe' ingredients has me excited to try out even more of their shades.
