NATURE REPUBLIC - BellaB review for 12 Mood Plumping Gray

These lipsticks come in cute pen-like containers that look sleek and have color coordinated tops. You just press the top of the pen and the lipstick advances out of the bottom. You have to click it a few times at first, but then make sure to just advance one or two clicks per use. If you click too many times the lipstick will come out and not go back in again. These are made with Manuka honey to shine the lips and Provence rose to keep them hydrated. The lipsticks glide across the lips and have a very good color payoff. I thought I would have to use multiple coats, but one coat gives my lips enough color. Although they do melt into the skin, they are not goopy, sticky or heavy feeling on the lips. In fact, they feel very light and extremely moisturizing. The colors I received are Fig, Berry, and Plum and I also received the Tint Plumping Pink and Mood Plumping Grey. All the colors are very soft and I think they would look great with most skin tones. You can also build the color by applying more layers. The two plumping colors give a tingly feeling to my lips that lasts quite a while, and they also have a minty scent that smells refreshing. I like to layer one of the plumping colors over one of the other shades for a nice effect.
