I’ve not experimented a great deal with mineral lipsticks.  For the most part, this is because most mineral lip products are balms or glosses and I have plenty of those.  So I was thrilled when I was able to try Inika’s Mineral Lipstick.

I chose #5 – Flirty, which is a plum / deep lavendar shade. 

The tube itself is a skinny lipstick.  Which brings me to the only drawback with the product – poor value for money.  $33 is alot to spend on a skinny lipstick – whatever currency you’re dealing in.  Personally, in my opinion, this is not great value for money.  Especially when you consider how reasonably priced mineral makeup is, on the whole.

However, from a quality perspective, I cannot fault this product.  The colour is a beautiful plum – perfect for brunch with the girls, or lazy Sunday afternoons.  It applies beautifully.  But the best thing is the formula – it’s lusciously creamy.  My lips were practically kissing my butt they were so grateful for the moisture.

And the colour lasted.  I applied this early Saturday morning.  By Saturday evening – two meals and a coffee later – the colour was still as vivid as when I applied it.

Pros: Great colour, long lasting, uber moisturising

Cons: Not great value for money
