Artistry lip products

I was kindly sent a lipstick and lipgloss from Artistry to try out. I'd never heard of the brand before but I was immediately impressed with the sleek black and gold packaging of the products.

Lip colour sheer in candy
This applied smoothly to my lips and although named a sheer lipstick I found it almost as pigmented as normal lipsticks. It gave a very natural sheen to the lips and lasted well throughout the day without settling into lines. What I liked most about the product was how non-drying it was on my lips. I prepped my lips with carmex beforehand and even after hours of wear my lips both felt and looked hydrated.

This particular shade was a lovely pink colour that would look great on a night out, although it can also be worn during the day if you like stronger lip colours.

Lip shine in spontaneous
This looks a beautiful (but bright) pink colour in the tube but luckily applies to give a sheer tint of colour to the lips. It comes with a doe foot applicator, and as the lipgloss is on the thicker side it applies easily without sliding around. It gives a lovely glossy look to my lips and didn't feel sticky. It contains concentrated conditioners to hydrate as well as Vitamins A and E which definitely helped to moisturize my lips.

Although I like both of them the lipshine was my favourite as I love lipglosses and the colour was more wearable for the daytime. At £11.45 for the lipstick and £9.55 for the lipgloss they're not cheap but they are good quality and I would happily pay for the lipstick as it is one of the few that doesn't feel drying on my lips.
