Honeybee Gardens Truly Natural Long-Lasting Lipstick, Calliope Mauve

Since the advent of Covid and face masks, I had pretty much given up on wearing lipstick, but missed feeling "put together" with my outfit and makeup in harmony. I saw the ad for Honeybee and liked that it was environmently friendly and decided to give it a try. The lipstick went on smoothly. The color, Tuscany, was a beautiful rose with a softly subtle shimmer. It looked natural (but natural on a really good day) and passed the mask test. No rubbed off color! I am very pleased with this product and plan to purchase it in other colors.

This feels nice on but Id call it a lipgloss - not enough depth of colour for a proper lipsteak.

My lipstick came in perfect form and hasn’t broken as other reviews have said. As someone with severe Celiac I needed to find something certified gluten free and had to throw away all of my expensive stilla, and Tarte lipsticks. It was not easy throwing them away, which I know is not a big deal in the grand scheme of life and all that we all go through, so I’m not complaining. But I had to say I ordered 2 lipsticks, 2 lip liners and 2 lipgloss’s from Honeybee Gardens and I am so happy I did. I absolutely love the formula and pigmentation of these products. As a matter of fact liquid lipstick girl it will take some getting used to, bc these products are moisturizing and they do transfer. But I’m perfectly fine with that bc I know I’m putting something healthy on my lips and truly gluten free. Thank you for thinking of us Celiacs Honeybee Gardens!!!

South Beach is very pale and kind of frosted looking. I was expecting a nice coral shade based on the photo here. The texture was not great either, kind of dry. Sending back for a refund😕. Helpful votes are always appreciated.😏

I really love this lipstick...originally got the SF colour as a gift and when that was finished I ordered two more, SF and Valentine. The Valentine stick almost immediately broke in the tube making it very difficult to apply. I am disappointed that this product broke after literally two uses. You can’t really see from the photo but the lipstick is broken in the bottom of the tube and shifts around causing those lines on the stick that you see in the photo. I love that this lipstick is like a lip balm but I wonder if that makes it softer than most sticks and that’s why it broke in the tube. This didn’t happen with my last stick of SF and hasn’t happened with my current stick in that colour.
