Living Nature Colour Me Natural Lipstick Set Swatches & Review

Living Nature have brought out three gorgeously packaged lipstick gift sets for the holidays this year, each containing three lipsticks in a limited colour palette. There's Colour Me Vibrant, which has a mixture of red and coral, Colour Me Romantic, which features pretty pinks and Colour Me Natural, a selection of earthy tones for the neutral lip lover. The sets are $75NZD each which saves $24 on buying the lipsticks individually (they're normally $33NZD each).

I have the Colour Me Natural set, which has the shades Precious, Sandstone and Warm Wood. The lipsticks are beautifully presented, each nestled snuggly in their own slot in a slide-out tray. 

Living Nature's lipstick tube is compact and charming with rubberized packaging,the logo adorning the cap. I quite like the lipstick bullet, which deviates from your standard teardrop style by being slanted on both sides.

Living Nature Lipsticks - Precious, Sandstone and Warm Wood Swatches & Review

Formula overview:
Living Nature's lipsticks are hand-crafted in New Zealand using natural ingredients and are Certified Organic. Their lipstick formula is packed with moisturising oils and waxes like coconut oil, beeswax and carnauba wax, giving them a less emollient texture than many brands; they don't slide around and won't feather or dry out your lips. The finish is soft and demi-matte with a natural sheen and buildable to semi-opaque colour pay off.

Precious

Living Nature Lipstick - Precious Swatches & Review

Precious is described as a 'nude pink'. It's my favourite in this trio, the kind of peachy-pink nude I always gravitate towards - so flattering on warm skin tones! Precious applied smoothly, was mostly opaque and wore for four hours. It was comfortable and non-drying during the time I wore it.

Sandstone

Sandstone is described as a 'medium pinky-brown'. It's cooler in tone than the other two lipsticks in this set which makes it a bit more interesting and different to me. As with Precious, it wore for four hours and wasn't drying.

Warm Wood

Living Nature Lipstick - Warm Wood Swatches & Review

Warm Wood is described as a medium warm brown. It would be a lovely nude option for medium skin tones but works on my lighter complexion too. I found it to be a bit less opaque than Precious and Sandstone although it was still pretty even in its colour payoff. It wore for a little over four hours on me.

Living Nature Lipstick - Warm Wood Swatches & Review

What I liked:
  • Buildable to mostly opaque colour payoff
  • They last for approximately four hours on me
  • Comfortable to wear, non-drying
What I didn't like:
  • Warm Wood was less opaque than Precious & Sandstone.
Where to buy:
PS. Living Nature have updated their lip swatches on their website and the colours now appear to be more accurate (for the shades that I have to compare them to) but the finish is still completely off (the swatches they show appear to be extremely matte in finish which is clearly not true to life at all).
