Lush Chilli Tingle Review and Swatches

Google+

After my not so interesting stint with Lush Snow Fairy Lip tint I set my hope on Lush Chilli Tingle .This lip tint is meant for those who love bright orange lips and are not too fond of lipstick.

I love applying lipsticks and love lip balms and Lush chilli tingle falls between the two.

What Lush Chilli Tingle Claims:-

Lush Chilli Tingle :

Hoja Santa – over here, mate. Got anything in that sack to moisturise lips and give them a lovely orange red tint?

Chilli Tingle is the answer. Inspired by a trip that Alecommy, our Italian colleague, took to Mexico. We loved the ingredients he brought back so much, we put them all in here. First there was some lovely dried chillies, which we thought would be great for stimulating the lips and waking up the blood supply in winter. Then there’s hoja santa – an aromatic herb known as ‘sacred leaf’. He also brought back annatto seeds, which have such a strong natural red colour in their seeds that the bush is known as the Lipstick Tree.

We then asked Jemma at our R&D labs to make a lovely blend of colours to compliment the annatto, and she came up with this beautiful orange red blend.

All that was left for us to do was make a lovely moisturising base of jojoba oil and our chocolate-smelling fair trade cocoa butter. Then add some candelillia wax and japan wax to seal the lips and give a barrier against the winter weather and to hold that lovely colour on the lips.

Perfect! Hot lips for chilly times.

My Experience with Lush Chilli Tingle

I find this more of a moisturising bright reddish orange glossy lipstick rather than a lip balm .It is certainly more moisturizing than Lush fairy tale (thank God for that ) but doesn’t have that kind of moisturizer which will make me crave for it.I only use it whenever its bright and Sunny and am thinking of an orange lipstick on my lips.

It’s vegan and contains natural essential oils therefore this lip tint kind of give rest to my lips for a day from chemical ingredients of lipsticks .

Tint can be layered up nicely but it’s too bright and makes me look like a clown therefore I just use a bit of it to give that nice shiny orange tint to my lips.

Smells like a yukky medicine but I don’t find it annoying when applied on lips.Staying power of the lip tint is 3 – 4 hours and I do need to apply a tinted moisturiser or foundation to make it look not too bright or OTT.I guess it will look still better on people having fairer skin than mine.

Swatch

This is how it looks on my lips.It does settle into fine lines so one needs good exfoliation before using it.Moisturiser of the lip tint fades away if you eat or drink something in between.
