Virginia Olsen | Pure Organics Lip Creme

Posted on the 19 December 2013 by Genzelkisses

 Whew!  Finally my site is okay now.  I’ve been experiencing problems with my blog for the past 2-3 days as I need to upgrade servers.  All thanks to my great server admin who fixed everything.  I am now in VPS, which means I have my own allocated server yay!  It’s time to take my blog to the next level ;)

As a celebration, I would like to share a pretty post for all of you guys plus giveaways to be posted within the day (hopefully!)  For weeks I’ve been testing out these new lip products from Virginia Olsen.  You all know by now how I love mineral makeups and Virginia Olsen is one of the trusted and famous brands when it comes to that line of makeup.  VO is 100% natural, paraben free, bismuth & talc free, and pure mineral make-up suitable for women of any age, ethnicity or skin type.

Here is a complete description that I got from their site with permission of course:

Virginia Olsen Pure Organics Lip Crème is formulated with all-natural ingredients which provide long lasting color and natural moisture that are safe to use even for those with delicate lips. It delivers natural pigments in a traditional lipstick shape, yet maintains its organic integrity.

All-natural ingredients
Our rich and creamy formula is loaded with antioxidants and is 100% natural with color derived from fruit pigment. It provides maximum coverage with effortless application, leaving lips feeling soft and smooth. It also has natural skin-protectant sunflower seed oil to keep your lips protected from harmful UV rays.

Long lasting natural moisture
Cracked lips are mainly due to dehydration. Our lipsticks are ultra-moisturizing as it is infused with shea butter, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil to keep your lips hydrated and plump all day. Our lipsticks are also long-lasting so you won’t have to worry reapplying throughout the day.

Virginia Olsen Pure Organics Lip Creme will not discolor your lips as it is formulated with lemon peel  extract  to  improve  hyper-pigmentation  and  rosehip  seed  oil  to  rejuvenate  your  lip’s delicate skin.

I can’t deny the fact that I’m so in love with their packaging!  It may look kindly big for a bullet but I like it!  Also the name of the shades and other info are at the bottom while they have the shade preview on top of the cap so it’s easier for you to pick what color for the day you would like to wear even if they are arranged in a lipstick tray or box!  Great!

Here are the two shades that were sent for me to try:  Barely There (left) & Crimson Geek (right)

It’s a nice light coral shade that is perfect for everyday look.  It goes well with peach blush and neutral eye makeup.  If you’re feeling more creative, you can also go with colorful eyeshadows.  It’s really creamy!

VO Lip Creme in Barely There (Lip Swatch)

Lip creme alone moisturizes my lips.  No need to use lip balm for me but if you’re experiencing dry and chapped lips, you may opt to use lip scrub first so it will look fantastic on your lips ;)

This shade is a highly pigmented one and I can say is my fave, aside from it’s pink, I super love the shade!  Ahhhh!  It’s very close to pantone fushcia.  It’s a versatile shade that you can use day and night.  If you’re transforming your look, you can just simply intensify the color to go well with your eye makeup and let’s start the night party!

For me, this is my first perfect lip swatch ever! *laughs*  I just love how my lips look like here.  Perfect color and shape, for me at least ^^  I like this shade to the moon and back!  So moisturizing.  Remember I always say my lips tend to dry most of the time, but with VO lip cremes, I’m saying goodbye to dry, chapped lips.  Ohh before I forget, I also tried sleeping without removing it and NO irrations at all, only tinted and plump lips.  Too bad wasn’t able to take a photo of it, but that’s 100% honest experience with these Virginia Olsen products.

The Crimson Geek Look

This is just my usual look with BB cream, powder, liner, mascara but as you can see, the lip creme brightens the look!

Here, I tried removing them on my arm with wet wipes but still, there’s the tint! ;)

Don’t worry, it still can be removed!  :D   You can use lip and eye makeup remover or your trusted removers.
