All the Vanity Blog :: Beauty, Fashion & Shopping

Suffering from a not-so-flawless skin, I’ve been obsessed with skin care products more than makeup. Yet, it dawned upon me, after much cajoling by Liz, to wear lipsticks (especially colours that stand out) more often.

Albeit long overdue, here’s my review on two Love Minerals passion fruit lipsticks I currently own.

In case you don’t know, Love Minerals is the makeup line of Human ♥ Nature — a local organic brand in the Philippines. I got these two from a small blogger’s event organised by Human ♥ Nature and Virtusio months ago.

Love Minerals Passion Fruit Hydrating Mineral Lipstick is made of 100% natural ingredients, and completely free from synthetic chemical preservatives. Most lipsticks contain carmine (from crushed insects) and mineral oil which promote premature ageing on skin and lips. Love Minerals lipstick, on the other hand, gets its moisture power from passion fruit seed oil, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, beeswax and rice bran oil. Together, these ingredients promise to deliver silky, softening and smoothening colour to the lips.

It’s available in four shades: Earth Angel (Browns), Coral Kiss (Peaches and Corals), Pink Skies (Pinks/Mauves) and Sweet Nectar (Neutrals). 

I currently own Coral Kiss and Sweet Nectar. 

Each is enclosed in a classy purple packaging with ornate brocade prints.

Satin Finish, Sweet Scent

Each leaves a satin finish, which isn’t too bold nor too bland. Hence, I made a swatch here (no flash).

Also, applied each of them on my lips  (with flash).

Love Minerals Passion Fruit Lipsticks in Coral Kiss. It delivers a rich coral shade, and is perfect to wear during special occasions that require dressing up.

Love Minerals Passion Fruit Lipsticks in Sweet Nectar. I use this shade frequently, since it’s the safest colour that can blend well with anything! I use a lip tint in addition should I want to make the colour richer.

Plus, I super duper love the scent. It’s so sweet like candy! I think I’m addicted to sniffing it over and over again.

Streaking & Buildup, Needs More Moisture

After sometime, say about a few hours, the lipstick starts to wear. I think the moisture isn’t enough to last for as long as 8 hours. Hence, it begins to streak and forms buildup particularly on the chapped part of the lips. I believe this is a common case for most lipsticks, which is why I use Smith’s or EOS lip balm prior to lipstick application.

Also, it’s really important to prep your lips before application. Lips should be well-moisturised and chap-free, lest it would rather form buildup and streaking, which is annoying.

Nonetheless, I love these lipsticks being the purely organic ones that I own.

Price: Php 225 each
