What you've been reading is correct, H&M (A giant Fashion Brand) has finally revealed their beauty line called H&M Beauty and they were available in stores last September 15th and I got my hands on their Cream Lip Colour and a Lip Balm!
Let's start with the H&M Conscious Raspberry Lip Balm
(Available in Lemon, Vanilla, Ginger and Blueberry too!)
"CONSCIOUS. A gentle lip balm that leaves lips soft and supple with a subtle shine. The moisturising formula contains certified organic shea butter, jojoba oil, beeswax and castor oil. Fragranced with natural aromas and coloured with natural minerals. 7.5 g. Natural and Organic Cosmetic certified by Ecocert Greenlife according to Ecocert Standard"
Judging by just the ingredients, I can read and understand what's inside the tube! It has Organic Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Beeswax and Castor Oil which are all ingredients needed to keep your lips hydrated. The Raspberry Lip Balm that I have has a soft pink color but once applied on lips, it looks like a regular transparent lip balm with a slight sheen.
After using this for a week, I can say that this is hydrating, yes, but just for a couple of hours as reapplication is needed. It does make my lips appear softer and less flaky and I like the slight scent. The key point about this product is that it's organic and so far, my lips didn't react negatively after using this.
Next comes the H&M Cream Lip Colour, the shade I got is Brunette Ambition.
"Our classic lipstick. The rich and creamy formula offers medium coverage, gliding on smoothly for full-bodied lips. With an inspiring palette of highly pigmented colours to choose from, it’s easy to match your mood and look. 3.5 g"
Swatch:
AMW Wears Brunette Ambition
The formulation of the Cream Lip Colour is extremely creamy. The pigmentation is just right but if you have highly pigmented lips like I do, you may need to apply several layers for Brunette Ambition to pop. The positive side though is that, this is extremely hydrating so I don't have to worry about my lips flaking or looking dry between the day! The feel is lightweight and I almost feel like I'm wearing a tinted lip balm as opposed to a regular lipstick. It does migrate to cups, mugs or glasses so better take this with you for reapplication.
How do you find the products from H&M Beauty?
I can't wait to try their other makeup line!
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
I'm looking forward to their single eyeshadows.
