HENNA LIPSTICK REVIEW

It is this green lipstick that magically turn your lips red. How could this even be possible? Green lipstick sounds odd enough. Now it could turn colour! Doesn't it sound magical?

Well it is magical enough if you were a little girl. I went crazy over it when I was a kid. Tales go around the kids kingdom and everyone wanted to give it a try. Even my boy cousins wanted to try it on. Lol. That was 20 years ago.

As I grow older the tales about it disappeared. I saw it once in awhile at a random shop. But never caught my attention. Not excited over it. Doesn't spark desire. 

It has been around since I was born. My mother used it. My grandmother used it. Even i did. It is just an old boring product!

BUT! But lately western countries started using it. There are reviews on the internet. People started selling it online. You see it on YouTube, on Pinterest, people blog about it. This lipstick seems to be very special now. 20 years ago we didn't have a specific name for it other than calling it 'green lipstick'. But now i know it is called Henna Lipstick.

As the popularity grew, i suddenly felt that I wanted to pick it up again. Wanted to give it another try. 

HENNA LIPSTICK

Price: RM2.00

  

I bought this from a RM2 shop. So the price is only RM2. Super cheap right? 

The tube is made of plastic and green in colour. Very lightweight. And it is definitely cheap looking.

 

The size is average.  

Once you open it, you can see the inside tube is painted in gold colour. The lipstick itself is green in colour. When you sniff it, you'll notice that it is perfumed. Mixture of sweet and crayon smell.

Excuse my dried chapped lips 🙈

Applying it was easy. It glides smoothly. It has the texture of a lip balm. Buttery smooth. After a few seconds your lips will slowly change its colour. The longer you leave it on the redder it'll get. If you want it to look natural, i suggest you to just dab it on thinly. If you like it matte like I do, go ahead and blot it.

It has a very nice finish. Beautiful colour and it stains your lips perfectly. It has an excellent staying power. It would last you all day. Maybe a little touch ups after meals to keep it vibrant.

I must say for RM2, this is the best bargain ever. 

So was it really magic? Did it feel magical? Well, i must say it is impressive for a green lipstick to turn your lips red. People would say this is a henna lipstick that's why it works that way. But from what I read, it is not henna that stains your lips, it's red dye #27 which is colourless until it hits moisture. It leaves a light stain on your lips and leaving it to your existing skin and lips tone to do the work.

Pros:

💜 Very cheap

💜 Moisturizing

💜 Nice colour

💜 Long lasting

Cons:

💔 Crayon smell
