So what is Red Apple Lipstick?
So what is Red Apple Lipstick?
I love the fact that more and more of such safer beauty products are popping up around the globe!
Red Apple Lipstick's Products are free from:
Paraben
Click here to read my post on Paraben under Ingredients to Avoid!
Red Apple Lipstick's solution to avoid the use of Paraben is to make smaller batches with safer ingredients that can help preserve their product naturally for around 1.5 Years if unopened.
Not a long stretch compared to products with paraben in them, but 1.5 years without the risk of cancer, is a way better alternative for me!
Gluten
For the people who are sensitive to Gluten,
Red Apple Lipsticks are your holy grail~
Lead
Did you know: Lead is a neurotoxin and can be dangerous even at small doses...
And most of the lipsticks out there contain lead in them?
So you are actually consuming it in small tiny dosage with every pout.
Enuff said for Lead.
Enuff said for Lead.
Animal Cruelty
Why torture another being for my beauty, right?

So, I was really honored and glad to get my hands on Red Apple Lipstick's products!

I love that this product is natural and is made of safe ingredients, especially since it is something I put very very close to my eyes~ I also like that it is pigmented and the simple fact that it glides on easily.
However, I didnt like that it isnt smudge-proof. In a weather as hot and humid as Singapore, this eyeliner starting smudging in less than 1 hour and I ended up with raccoon eyes! Hahaha~ That's a big nono for me :(
So now, I use it as a base for smokey look~ works and last longer for smokey eye makeup!

It's made of safe ingredients, to the extent that it smells like carrots to me!
It can be worn on sheer or pigmented, depending on how many layers you apply~
It's affordable!
It's moisturizing but feels light on my lips.
And it last relatively long on its own!
Everything I look for in a lipstick! Love it!
