W3LL People Nudist Lip Shine in #3 (red) review

W3ll Lip shine
I'm almost completely incapable of leaving a cosmetics/beauty shop with just one thing, so when I bought the W3LL People Narcissist Foundation Stick I also had a look at the Nudist Lip Shines (and bought this one). It's a sheer red, and it has quickly become my favourite sheer red lip (against some tough competition).

Swatched: a lovely, glossy, strawberry jam shade, with no shimmer. I find the texture extremely difficult to describe; it's not sticky, but it has density to it and feels like it plumps my lips. The closest product I can find in my stuff to compare it to is Chantecaille Lip Chics. I find this does moisturise my lips, and I can apply it during the day without needing to supplement with lip balm (although I do still apply balm before bed at night). It has the typical W3LL People light, fresh herbal smell.

On my lips.

The current colour selection is quite limited, but I do have the goth purple berry #2 and bright pink #5 on my birthday list. 

Of the other shades: #1 is a pale to medium coral, #4 is a light mauve pink (would look horrific on me), and #6 is a tawny brown shade. 

These are £18.50 each, which is quite expensive for a tinted lip product, but when I compare them to the price of a Chantecaille Lip Chic (and the quality and finish is comparable) £18.50 suddenly looks reasonable.

Ingredients: brassica campestris/aleurites fordii oil copolymer, castor oil infused with green tea, reishi mushroom & bayberry, beeswax, castor isosterate beeswax succinate, essential  oils and fruit extracts, pomegranate extract, tocopherol, lauroyl lysine, stevia extract [+/- mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides]

  1. That looks really lovely on you! It's as if your lips have that juicy look naturally and you're not wearing anything!

  2. That looks gorgeous on you, very natural. I do love a sheer red, and you just HAD to go and compare it to Chantecaille Lip Chic! Now I will definitely need to seek one of these out.

  3. That is a lush colour and I really like the sound of the texture. You wear reds so well!

  4. This looks really nice on you and if it compares to Lip Chics then I am very interested, I think the only thing holding me back is the packaging which for me doesn't look like it reflects the price, of course thats a highly superficial reason to be put off something, at any rate I'll add these to my list as a maybe x
