Fifth & Skin BOTANICAL Lipstick (POMEGRANATE) | Vegan | Natural | Organic | Certified Cruelty Free | Paraben Free | Petroleum Free | Healthy | Moisturizing | Vibrant Color that's Good for your Lips!

I love the color and that it lasts. It is not moisturizing, which is probably why it lasts so long. I just apply a lip moisturizer over it. This is the fifth tube that I've purchased. I noticed that the amount of pigment was considerably less than prior tubes, which means I will have to use it more often....hmmmm. It is a bit spendy, but high quality.

I liked the color. It’s nice. Warm undertones on a natural looking pink. I got pomegranate. Goes on well over my beeswax chapstick. BUT, this is a major problem... the 10th ingredient is phenoxythenol ( just a little FYI, ingredients have to be listed in order of their quantity, meaning the first ingredient is the primary ingredient a product or a food is made of, and everything that follows makes up less and less of it’s total ingredients.) Anyways, phenoxythenol is a toxic PRESERVATIVE. All you have to do is a quick google search of this ingredient and you will see that it’s a toxic chemical for the central nervous system and a skin irritant. It gets a 3-4 on the EWG cosmetics and environmental safety monitoring website. A score of 1 being the safest. It REALLY bothers me that in the online description AND on the package labeling itself it’s says this is a completely non toxic and preservative free product. Phenoxythenol is pretty high up on the ingredients list - so that’s not even a low concentration of it. Overtime the person wearing this lipstick and eating it everyday will be consuming a LOT of this chemical which can cause organ damage and is possibly dangerous for the central nervous system over extended use. I found a company on Amazon called Ecco Bella and also one called 100% Pure Beauty, and both of these lipstick companies do not use ANY toxic preservatives. Beware of this chemical. Make up brands love to sneak it into the ingredient list sort of burying it in “natural ingredients” all around it. Phenoxythenol has several other names so it’s smart to find those and put them in a list on your phone somewhere so you have them handy. Or just go to the EWG website and get the Safe Cosmetics Guide. A message for Skin2Sprit: Don’t treat your customers like they are fools. People are educated. Transparency equals respect

The color of the Fifth&Skin lipstick I got (Pomegranate) is true to what is shown in the product photo. But the strange thing is that the name of the color is not on the tube or the box. Usually, lipsticks have a number or a descriptive name on a circular sticker at the bottom of the tube. But the bottom of the tube is just more tube. (The color name is given on the inserted invoice.) I tried it on for only a short time. So I can only say that it feels ok. I mentioned the oddity about a missing color identifier to a friend who suggested it may have been previously returned. Started thinking that the tip did look a little duller than the rest of the stick and grossed myself out. May not wear again it for at least until I come to peace with a tube of lipstick that just has no ID on it and decide it was not returned. But..wouldn't you put that on so buyers remember what color to buy again?

Love Love Love the color. I've been looking for a color such as this. Just a tad too dry but I love it any way.

This is what I've been looking for. I love it!
