Flower Kiss Stick High-Shine Lipsticks in Coral Floret & Ginger Lily: Review, Swatches, Comparisons – Glam Radar
by Jane · March 21, 2015
After seeing how disappointing the Flower Kiss Stick Velvet Lip Sticks were, I’m here to bring you good news. The Flower Kiss Stick High Shine lipsticks are much better! They are tremendously more pigmented, creamier, and don’t dry out the lips the way the Velvet formula did. Due to the shiny finish, it photographs beautifully giving the look of a more healthy, fuller lip.
I like the look of the formula but I’m not in love with the wear. For such bold colors like the ones I’ve chosen (which btw – look practically identical…-_-), I prefer a less transfer resistant formula. This formula would work much better with lighter colors but lip balm is needed underneath as it is a tadbit drying for how creamy it is. Overall, I like the formula for photographs but the bold colors are too high maintenance for just going out!
Price: $6.98 at walmart.com and select Walmart locations
Pigmentation: High Pros: Glides on smoothly; comfortable feel; shiny finish; extremely pigmented;
good staying power (4-5 hours); fades evenly; no settling into lip lines; no feathering
Cons: Transfers easily; a little drying after 2 hours Overall: B+, I love the pigmentation and the shiny finish but I was worrying the whole
time that it would smear onto my face or on my teeth! It’s too creamy and even though
it lasts reasonably long, it wouldn’t survive eating. I also wish that it was more moisturizing
for how creamy it was. It’s less creamy and more transfer resistant than the NYX Round
Lipsticks so if you love those, you’ll definitely love these! Rimmel Kate Moss #12 is much darker and redder. Maybelline Coral Crush is slightly pinker than Flower Ginger Lily. Maybelline Shocking Coral is much pinker than Flower Ginger Lily. MAC Watch Me Simmer is lighter. MAC Ever Hip is peach and no where close. MAC Vegas Volt is slightly more orange than Coral Floret.YSL Coral Legende is more peach. Wet’n’Wild Purty Persimmon is much darker, redder.
