Hey darlings, Ramadan Kareem to my Muslim boyfriends and girlfriends, send my Sallah meat abeg.
I did the initial swatches of the Island Beauty 2015 Summer Collection Lipsticks here, so today I’d be doing my final reviews.
P.S I was really feeling myself in almost all the pictures, bear with me biko.
P.P.S Can you see my blonde braids? You like? I’d be doing maybe a full post or broken down posts of how I style/care for my braids (just because Grace of epiphany29 wants it).
Island Beauty Lipstick in Lavender
Easy to apply.
No caking or breaking or dryness.
True to its shade.
Highly pigmented.
Island Beauty Lipstick in Peach
Easy to apply.
Well pigmented.
Feels smooth when you rub your lips together.
Slightly lighter than the shade in the lipstick.
Island Beauty Lipstick in Strawberry
A little difficult to get the shade on my lips.
Best applied with lip liner prior to application.
Easy to apply in terms of smoothness.
True to its shade.
Creamy.
No breaking.
Island Beauty Lipstick in Citrus Orange
A little difficult to get the shade onto my lips.
Best applied with a matching shade of lip liner prior to wearing.
Smooth on the lips, a little creamy.
Slightly darker than the shade on the lipstick.
Island Beauty Lipstick in Cranberry
Three strokes gives the shade on my lips, easy to apply.
Smooth to apply.
A little creamy.
No dryness or breaking.
Highly pigmented.
True to its shade.
Island Beauty Lipstick in Black Raspberry
Lovely satin lipstick.
Highly pigmented, I couldn’t get the lipstick off my lips, more like a lip stain in a satin texture.
Easy to apply, three strokes and you’re good to go.
Slightly creamy but more of a satin feel.
Which shade is your favorite? I’m loving the Black Raspberry (as you can see), Cranberry and Strawberry. If I’m feeling very adventurous I’d try the Lavender.
How’d you like my face beat? Makeup artists in the house how did I do?
P.S There’s a vigil at church today (Commonwealth of Zion Assembly; COZA), I’m personally inviting you all (if you’re in Abuja), see you there!

Black raspberry is my favourite, there’s a big, fat difference compared to the fake version.
I love your cheekbone contouring or is it perfectly applied blush?
Nicely done Bookie 🙂

Citrus Orange is fun and really is a summer shade, try using a lip liner before applying it though.

Cranberry and Black Raspberry look sooooooooo good! Black Raspberry is still my favourite though. Used to rock it like mad a decade ago……. Maybe I should tell someone coming over from Naija to being a couple of Cranberry and Black Raspberry shades for me. Can you provide the details of their licensed retailer? I’ll see if I can find them over here as well. Barka de Sallah to you too……
