BENEFITS
  • Organic blueberry, raspberry, acai and goji berries provide beautiful, antioxidant and omega-rich pigments that protects the lips from signs of aging.
  • Organic sesame seed oil hydrates and conditions the lips.
  • Natural mineral reflectors provide a rich shimmer.
  • Vitamin E restores, heals and repairs the lips.

POWERFUL ACTION WITHOUT
Our formulations are made without parabens, petroleum, propylene or butylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances. Our products are never tested on animals.
The Verdict: If this goes on sale again, I would buy it again. I like the citrus scent, the smooth non-sticky texture, and the color is subtle and shimmery. It doesn't stay on very long and it's pretty light (hard to see), but I like it better than the majority of my glosses. If it was long-lasting and not quite so sheer, I would have given it 5 stars!

 Pros:
Color 
Sparkles
Moisturizing
Citrus scent
Easy to apply
NOT tested on animals or sold in China!

 Cons:
Expensive
Not long-lasting
Sheer

 I'm actually very interested in cosmetics that are "green", natural and organic, but the only organic make-up typically sold in organic grocers are the almost hippy lip balms and a few non pigmented lip sticks or eyeshadows. Not high quality.
Online it looks like there are more than a few luxury options, but the majority of the glosses are very sheer and very expensive ($18-$26) I'm not paying $20 for a tiny bit of color you can't see with a few sparkles.

Cosmetics, Skincare and Animal Testing Lies...

Cosmetics, Skincare & Animal Testing Lies... This is kind of a long time coming...but it can be SO hard to find out if Korean cosmetic brands are tested on animals because of the language barrier... There are several sits dedicated to informing you of American and European brands that test on animals...here are some links... LEAPING BUNNY  free cruelty free guide BUAV (ENGLAND)  BUAV's actual list is online and FREE...  Cruelty Free   American Anti-Vivisection Society   Nature Watch (UK) Uncaged (UK)  They require payment for their cruelty free guide and they get it from Nature Watch... KARA Korea  KARA I am NOT including PETA because I do NOT support their  deceptive practices. The woman who runs PETA believes pitbulls should be exterminated from the planet and she supports BSL (bred specific legislation that results in family dogs being snatched from their homes and killed), all feral cats should be killed,believes no animals should be owned as pets, uses naked ce

STILA now tests on animals...and PETA couldn't care less.

Further proving that one cannot even trust two-faced PETA's list, cosmetics company Stila admits to testing on animals on their website and on "Twitter", yet remains on their cruelty-free list. Does anyone remember when Too-Faced and Urban Decay decided to sell in China and thus test on animals and PETA attacked them and UD reversed their decision? It was in all of that that Hard Candy was also accused of this and they became angry and went to their FB page to clear it all up? And then UD got an award from PETA for deciding NOT to do something terrible? I know we can't expect much from an organization that has a spokeswoman (Ellen) who is the face of a cosmetics company that is notorious for testing on animals, but if they are going to put out a list and attack companies that start testing, they should at least be accurate. I sent them a polite e-mail saying there was an error in their list with the correct info and a link... and got the auto-reply that they promise
