ILIA Beauty Color block high impact lipstick - flame by ilia beauty for women - 0.14 oz lipstick, 0.14 Ounce

I just can't wear red lipstick. I'd love to but none ever worked for me. My skintone is pretty neutral with a bit of warmth and true reds, as well as tomato/orange reds, look awful on me. I feel I look like a little kid that broke into mommy's makeup bag and went to town. Then I found Clinique Buttershine lipstick in Apple Brandy. My perfect red! Even though it may not show up as a red on cooler or much warmer complexions, it looked great on me and was my evening or special occasion go to red lipstick. Then they discontinued it. Years ago. I have one half-used tube left that I use sparingly. It tastes bitter so I know it's way past it's expiration date but it's my only red.Youtubers, Color Class, suggested ILIA Rosewood, not specifically as a dupe but as a good red for my coloring. However, I think it's as close to the Buttershine Apple Brandy as I can get. The color on the left half of my lips is Apple Brandy and the color on the right half is ILIA Rosewood. The Apple Brandy is shinier as it's name implies but I feel I can always add some clear gloss to the Rosewood if need be. After wearing for a few hours the ILIA has much more staying power. But I'll give the Apple Brandy a break since it is a million years old, lol. Anyone who used to be a fan of the Apple Brandy shade in Clinique may want to give ILIA Rosewood a try as it may work for you too. It's a beautiful color and has not been drying to my lips.

With a name like Wild Rose (Ultimate Mauve), I thought I’d get a color with more purple color. However this is more earthy, with much more brown undertones than purple. I have warm skin and gray hair. Purple colors are great for the hair but don’t always look good on my skin; they can look harsh. So the added brown helps balance the competing tones.The Amberlight color is even more earthy and does not look nude on me, it looks like it's closer to the brown family of colors.I have sensitive lips and this is nice and moisturizing and is comfortable to wear. It’s not long lasting but that’s what happens when you get moisturizing formulas.

This has been my go to red lip for years. It is perfect on olive tone skin. It leans more to the red-orange spectrum of red lips, which I love. The packaging is very sleek and chic. The formula itself is wonderful. Moisturizing and leaves a nice stain. You do need to touch up after eating, but for such a rich, non-drying formula, it has great longevity. Also love that the ingredients are clean! Great brand and a great warm toned red lip.

I searched far and wide for a long-lasting cruelty-free, organic lipstick but that's almost a fruitless search.I landed on this one when I was about to give up.The color options are great, I chose amberlight. It's matte, but it does have a bit of a shine.Application:It's easy to apply, smooth on your lips, smells great and the lipstick holder is nice.Moisturizing:It really moisturizes my lips when it's on, and I also used it when my lips were chapped and it looked great!Long-lasting:It is long-lasting but it has a lot of transfer. When I apply it, I usually blot my lips on a tissue to help seal it.When you eat and drink it does give off a lot of product, but because of the strong pigments, it still lasts through the workday. When I get home it still looks like I'm wearing lipstick!This is a great choice for anyone looking for organic makeup options, or long-lasting lipstick!I also bought 100% Pure cocoa butter lipstick, it's supposed to be long-lasting and clean. I can't wait to try that one.

Beautiful color but it smears so I dont use it much.Matte is great but could use more staying power.

Best lipstick ever! I am a bit of a makeup junkie. I love high end natural/vegan cosmetics and I particularly love a beautiful lipgloss. This lipstick has everything I want! Excellent ingredients, clean make up, creamy, gorgeous pigmented color and it is not drying to my lips. This is far and away my favorite lipstick ever. I have purchased it in three colors and will continue to do so.

I love the color, but the lipstick broke, It was inside my purse and I wasn't even using it. When I opened the top to apply it the lipstick was broken at the base of the tube. So, I just threw away 28.00 of a lipstick that I just had over 1 month. Wont ever buy this brand again.

It’s by far the best lipstick I have ever tried. Easy to clean and nice appearance.
