Soultree Lipstick 820 Deep Blush Review and Swatch

It's raining herbal products on the blog this week. Up today is another product from Soultree - Colour Rich Lipcare - its a lipstick and I'm sharing swatches of the shade 820 Deep Blush.

Soultree Lipstick 820 Deep Blush Review and Swatch

Soultree lipsticks come in their signature silver packaging (similar to the Colored Kohl I reviewed)

The lipstick contains color pigments of organic origin. It contains sweet almond oil, wild honey and organic ghee (clarified butter).

Price: Rs 450 (available online HERE)

The lipstick is buttery smooth in texture and highly pigmented. When I used it for the first time in winters it gave a crayon like feeling - or if you freeze ghee the kind of texture it has when you rub it with your fingers - that kind. But later it has become very smooth on application. It stays on the lips for a almost 4 hours but vanishes if you have a meal. It does not leave behind any stain. In winters I had to apply a lip balm after an hour or reapply the lipstick otherwise my lips would start to become dry.

Soultree Ayurvedic Kajal (Green Kohl) Review and Swatch

Soultree ayurvedic kajal has been out in the market for quite some time now. Recently one of the beauty bags also had this as part of the monthly offering. The kajal (kohl) comes in a lipstick style packaging with a pointy tip.

Soutree Ayurvedic Kajal (Green Kohl) Review and Swatch

This colored kohl is extremely safe for the eyes because it is free of preservatives and synthetic coloring.
It is made of organic ghee (unprocessed butter), camphor (for a cooling effect), almond oil and organic pigments for the color.

Price: Rs 350 (available for Rs 295 online)

Soutlree Ayurvedic Kajal (Green Kohl) Review and Swatch

The texture of the Soultree kajal is extremely soft and smooth. The color is not intense but buildable. The kajal does not irritate the eyes and can be applied on the waterline.
