Today I tried my new bloom matt lipstick in honeysuckle - i love it!!! it had great staying power - i only had to touch up once after lunch. It has a lovely texture, feels really light on and didn't have that usual lipstick taste. (i should mention that i used the duwop reverse lip liner underneath in case that helped with how long it lasted)
the colour is more intense than most sheer lipsticks - its just right for those of us who want colour but not too full on
cranberry is on my shopping list for next weekend!! :clapping:

Thanks for the review Ladyver, it sounds great! I have been eyeing these lipsticks off for awhile now, but I cannot figure out which colour to get! (Want them all lol)
I just love Bloom products I could rave about them all day! But at the moment I am really loving their liquid foundation which I've just switched back to. Its so beautiful with perfect coverage and smells gorgeous (lavender)!

I have also been looking at these lippys. I like the idea but I don't think the colours would suit me. Are they a true representation of the colour?
BTW How's that reverse lip liner going? Worth the $$? On my wishlist also.

I have the bloom Sheer Matte Lipstick in Honeysuckle. I think it's gorgeous and it's especially nice with a bit of Bloom's Seashell gloss over the top.

M - the colours are a bit different than on the bloom & adore sites - on me the honeysuckle is a bit more mauve, i think when i tested the plum one it was not quite as dark.
i'm only into day 2 but am loving the reverse liner - my lipstick goes on really nice & smooth and it seems to lock in moisture so my lips are super soft at the end of the day (unlike normal lip pencils which i find quite drying). because it is clear you really get the true colour of the lipstick coming out, though i don't know if it would be enough for people who like the really intense dark lip colours without another lip pencil in between :question:
i should mention that it can be challenge to get the lip one though because everyone has worked out that both the eye and lip reverse liners are the same, but the lip one is cheaper ;)
PCC - i bought the SWAK glaze to put over top to get a more bright and pinker effect, but haven't tried that look in public yet
Rubisco - i was looking at the foundation on the weekend because i noticed they had a really light shade, i thought the texture and scent was lovely, but was wondering about the coverage so thanks for that feedback - might have to add to the list!
have you tried the primer?? i noticed it also had the same lovely scent

I use the lightest shade in this foundation too. It just gives you a beautiful natural look without looking like your wearing much at all!
I haven't tried the primer yet though - I will once I use up my Napoleon one (that way I can justify the purchase lol).
