   Even though I only gave this lipstick three tubes instead of five is because though it doesn’t totally make your mouth feel like you have a clay mask on your lips, you are still definitely aware that you are wearing a matte lipstick. I add a touch of gloss before I apply the color and it remedies the situation pretty effectively. I love the color because it’s extremely difficult to find nude lipsticks that flatter my skin tone, and this one really looks great on me. (I know this not just because I think so, but because my brutally honest fifteen year old daughter told me so.)

   A wonderful lipstick, & buying it contributes to a good cause. Pacifica says that for every lipstick sold from the “Power of Love” line, a lipstick will be donated to a woman in need. These are $10 but if you consider that one will be donated, they’re basically $5 a pop.

   The color of this one is the most nude out of the bunch but there are also 4 other shades to choose from if this particular hue isn’t for you.

   Upon application this product feels really nice. However, as the day goes on I do notice some dryness when I don’t wear a lipbalm underneath. Moisturize your lips before applying through & you’re all set. The finish is satin, leaning towards matte.

   I’ve seen some people say they dislike the smell of these… to me it smells sorta like coconut oil but it fades fast & isn’t overpowering. Lasting power is average to good. I need to retouch after meals but it doesn’t fade prematurely or unevenly.

   Vegan & cruelty free so that’s a plus, too. I would repurchase this as I find myself reaching for it in the morning when I want a natural look to my lips. I’d probably try out a different color though since all the shades look nice.

   This is awful! I got it in an ipsy bag. The color wasn’t bad but it smells like plastic. It also drags when applied and is uncomfortable on the lips. The only thing I like about it is the cute packaging but I will probably be throwing this product away since I have many other lipsticks that I love so much more.

   Earlier this week, the receptionist at my job approached me and offered me this lipstick. She said she’d received it as part of her Ipsy bag but she didn’t think the color would be flattering on her. When I opened it I was really surprised she would think that. It is a muted pink nude color. I thanked her and told her I’d get plenty of use out of it. It was a good call because I love this product.

   First off, Pacifica is a great brand. They are 100% vegan and cruelty free. I got this as a gift but they retail for $9.99 at Target. Plus with this particular lipstick line… the “Power of Love”, for every lipstick you purchase, they give one to a woman in need. So that’s pretty awesome.

   The packaging of this product is gorgeous. It comes in a white tube and that cap has hearts on it outlined in gold.

   The shade I got, Tender Heart, has a satin finish (I believe all the shades do.) It’s pretty opaque but also buildable. This lipstick is so easy to wear and apply. The longest I’ve worn it is for around 5 hours before needing to reapply, and I only need to reapply because I eat something. So I’d say the staying power is good… it’s no big deal to touch up after lunch and this product doesn’t claim to be long wearing.

   There is a faint scent, sort of like coconut. I think that’s because this has coconut oil in it. However it’s barely noticeable and not noticeable at all after you apply it.

   I’d purchase this on my own if I run out (maybe in another color) and am interested in trying out more Pacifica items.
