NATorigin Lipsticks in Fig and Coral

NATorigin is an Ecocert certified organic brand that uses naturally sourced ingredients for their products. The brand is available in the UK from their website www.natorigin.co.uk

I chose the two red lipsticks in the range to review; Coral (left) and Fig (right). 

Swatched on hand: Coral on left, Fig on right. The texture of both is very glossy from the natural plant waxes and oils in the formulation. Fig is sheerer than Coral, but both are on the sheerer side, rather than being a full block coverage. They have a light fruity fragrance.

Fig applied. Fig is a sheer browned plum and on my lips, this reads as quite a natural, polished sort of lip shade.
Coral is an orange based red, somewhat brighter than Fig. It's still quite a translucent colour; it doesn't give block coverage, although the colour density is higher than Fig, and it gives more coverage.
Ingredients list: 
These are £15.50 each, and are a nice option for a cleaner/natural sheer lipstick. Fig is my favourite shade of the two; it's quite hard to find a natural shade that doesn't look too pale or washed out on me and this one works well.

    1. Hi Odyssey - yes, they're very moisturising - I don't need a balm underneath them at all (actually a balm makes them almost too slippy).

  2. Fig does look quite nice. Color-wise, it appears browner than Ilia Arabian Nights. Is that right? Does it have a similar finish to those Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioners (or whatever they're called)? Thanks for your thoughts on this.

    1. Hi Sam - Fig is definitely browner and less berry than Ilia Arabian Nights. These are a slightly slippier finish than the Ilia - the Ilia tinted lip conditioners are sheer tints and moisturising but not overly shiny in finish. They are quite similar though.
