It's way too hot to be wearing a full face of makeup this week (hello UK heatwave!), but I can't resist how good a bare face looks with a bright lippie and I've been loving these summery shades from Antipodes. Not a fan of brights? Don't worry, I've also included a neutral option to cover all bases ;)
I've been wanting to try out these Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks from Antipodes ever since they launched about two years ago, and now I've finally gotten my hands on three of them, I can say that they were definitely worth the wait!
From L-R: Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks in Golden Bay Nectar, South Pacific Coral & Piha Beach Tangerine
With a catchy 'I'm so healthy you could almost eat me' tagline, these lipsticks are made from mainly natural ingredients and only have very low levels of colour pigments which have been included for vibrancy aesthetics. The Moisture-Boost formula features a blissfully hydrating blend of Castor Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Candelilla Wax, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Avocado Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Argan Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil and Vitamin E, to keep your lips kissably soft and moisturised for longer.
They glide on easily and the brighter shades, in particular, are richly pigmented with an intense colour payoff. The combination of the plant-based oils and waxes that I mentioned above also delivers a glossy sheen finish that I really like and surprisingly, they lasted a lot longer than I expected them to before a touch-up was required which is always impressive for a natural lipstick.
There is a wide range of shades available, and here are my top three to whet your appetite!
Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in Golden Bay Nectar
If you only wear neutral shades or are looking for something that you can wear every day to work, Golden Bay Nectar is the one for you. It's a classic shade with hints of nude and peach and although it's the least pigmented out of the three, it has a great tinted lip balm feel to it, but with buildable coverage. Absolutely gorgeous, it's such a very easy shade to wear!
Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in South Pacific Coral
For a pop of hot coral-pink, you can't go wrong with South Pacific Coral which has quickly become one of my favourite Summer lipsticks to reach for this year. I always get a lot of compliments when I wear it and I love how it helps to brighten up my whole face.
Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in Piha Beach Tangerine
How bright and juicy is this one?! Piha Beach Tangerine is a straight-up orangey-red that really pops against dark skin or if you have a tan. It's a shade that pulls me out of my comfort zone and demands to be worn on a beach with a bare face for a fun and youthful look!
