H&M new creamy lipsticks

One of new year’s resolutions was to cut down on my makeup products as I have far too many and some of them are quite neglected. However, when I found out that H&M has reinvented its makeup collection and has a full range of new creamy lipsticks, I couldn’t resist trying out some of them. Oh my, how pretty they are! They are quite creamy, which is not something I am fond of as I prefer the matte lipsticks more, but all they need is some blending to have a more matte finish. They are not drying at all or cakey and they feel very smooth on the lips. They remind me of tinted lip balms in a way after I blend them to make the color less vibrant and more natural.

First thing’s first though: the packaging! For some weird enough reason I noticed that all my lipsticks regardless the brand, are black; square or round, magnetic cap or not, they are all black. I believe that there is something elegant in the simple, sleek black packaging but I had never noticed how little variety exists among all the brands; high street and  high-end. So it was a pleasant surprise to see that these lipsticks are completely different; white and gold! Such a lovely combination of colors that adds up glamor without being less sleek than the rest. Absolutely love the packaging! It really adds up and differentiates them.

Now moving past the packaging, I have to admit that what really blew me away was the huge variety of colors. The first shade I got myself was he Pomegranate one which is like a fiery red with a hint of orange as I was on the look for a corally red for the summer. Then I got the La vie en rose which is my favorite one and is a purply kind of pink; it looks so pretty and girly on my lips and I am absolutely in love with it. Lastly I got Tea rose which is a-not-so-me shade of bright rosy pink (it’s so hard to describe it); it reminds me of MAC’s Impassioned. Now this is a hard shade to pull off for me, and is the one that needs more blending to look less harsh and out-of-place on me. It is very pretty and different though and I love it as well. I do not own that many pink shades of lipstick as I always found it a hard color for me due to my natural lip color being darker, so I am trying to enrich my collection with as many different pink ones as I can.

I had never tried any make up from H&M apart from the nail polishes, so I was a bit skeptical at first of the quality. However, after trying them on I was pleasantly surprised to see that they are very nice and quite long-lasting. I would compare them to NYX lipsticks which I also really like and they are high street as well. Definitely worth trying them if you cannot afford higher end ones or even if you can, they are a lovely addition to anyone’s collection. Seriously guys you will go crazy with the variety! I know I did 😉

If you guys have them and like them, upload a picture wearing it on Instagram with the hashtag #hmcreamylips ! I will like all of them J Can’t wait to see all of your lovely pictures!
