Hi dolls! Doing good?
Today I’m here with the long awaited review, I received these lipsticks sometime in September but I’m just getting around doing the review because I’ve had so much on my plate.
These lipsticks were realeased for fall but as we in Nigeria don’t have summer, winter or fall, everytime here is summer lol I guess you can incorporate these lippies anytime, anyhow.
Swatches
Island Beauty Lipstick in Crystal Gold
Difficult to apply
Can get a bit messy
Difficult to remove
It’s like gold glitters in a lipstick form
Island Beauty Lipstick in Metallic Mauve
Satin Finish
Easy to apply
Long wearing
Purple-ish shade with a hint of shimmer
Island Beauty Lipstick in Sugar n Spice
Satin finish
Deep orange-y shade with a hint of shimmer
P.S – I had no foundation or powder on in the pictures above hence my visible hyperpigmetation.
Overall I love Sugar ‘n’ Spice the most, it’s almost like burnt orange, Crystal Gold isn’t a shade I’d wear out, ever, so if you’re interested in this lippie, holla in the comment section (must be in Lagos biko), it works well as an eyeshadow maybe. Metallic Mauve is good too but the shimmery finish put me off.

What’s your favorite shade?
I really like Metallic Mauve. Maybe because I have a think for purple lippies. Sugar n Spice is also pretty.
Crystal Gold is soooo not something I can pull off.

Hello Bookie,
I generally love lipstick and enjoy reading reviews. Thank you for sharing this. 🙂
My favourite shade is Sugar n Spice, I like the orange hue. I think the Crystal Gold would work well when blended with another lipstick, preferably a darker shade. Don’t give up on it just yet. Lol
