Silk Naturals Summer 2013 Vegan Lipsticks - Jane, Lois, Wham, Zing - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

Back in March I reviewed six shades of eyeshadow from Silk Naturals. Now I'm reviewing four shades of their Vegan Lipsticks from their Summer 2013 collection. This collection has some great fun colors that are perfect for summer. I have shades Jane, Lois, Wham and Zing. Shades Jane and Lois have more normal, simple packaging, but shades Wham and Zing have bright, colorful, fun comic-book style packaging - which I personally love. Check out my full review, and all the product info, after the pics.

Silk Naturals Summer 2013 Vegan Lipsticks Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $4.75 each. Available on the Silk Naturals website.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

Silk Naturals new creamy stay-put formula is moisturizing, comfortable and lasts a few hours. You can blot it to make it more matte, or set it with a little blush to make it last for ages. It's richly pigmetned, and has a shelf life of at least a year (2 or 3 years wouldn't be surprising). Vegan & Gluten Free. Made with over 80% organic ingredients.

There are 8 shades in total for the Summer 2013 Collection:  Jane, Velma, Lois, Sheena, Wham, Vroom, Zing, Zap. I have four of them.

Shade descriptions of the four I own:

• Jane: a vivid creamy coral with a little bit of shimmer, cooler toned highlights, and full on coverage.
• Lois: a creamy nudeish pink color with a hint of subtle shimmer and full coverage.
• Wham: a bright reddish purple; bold, super-pigmented, and has good coverage -- not super heavy, but good. It does stain for color that lasts and lasts.
• Zing: a vivid warm full coverage red lipstick; ultra-pigmented, and leaves a stain on your lips for hours and hours of wear. 

Out of the four shades I have, Lois is the most 'everyday wearable' for me. Jane is another great shade for more everyday. Where as shades Wham and Zing are more bold, in your face colors. 

The swatches on the Silk Naturals website gave me a slightly different impression of the shades. For example, Wham looked a bit more pink fuchsia but it's more of a purple berry. And Zing looked like a pinky neon orange, but it's really a red. Jane seemed like a vibrant neon pink but was more of a medium everyday bright pink with shimmer. And the shade Lois seemed like a vibrant pink coral shade but is more of a neutral pink shade. Shades Jane and Lois were the two most off from the swatches on their website; I highly suggest you go by the descriptions more than the actual swatch photos -- or the circle photo of what the lipstick looks like - which seem more accurate.

The formula is nice -- it's a little soft so it can smash down really easily, so be careful with how much you twist up to use. Goes on smooth and feels comfortable on the lips. 

They're really affordable too - just $4.75 each. The lipstick tubes are not your typical lipstick shape -- they are thin tubes, in chapstick like form.

Overall, I think this is a fun collection and they make me want to try even more. I'd recommend checking this collection out!
