Gabriel Cosmetics Organic Lipstick (Matte Spice - Brown Berry/Cool Crème), 0.13 Oz.

Lovely, moist and long-lasting, good neutral color

I’ve been a longtime user of their competitor’s product (real purity) which I also like but they seemed to have changed their passion color which I was using, so I tried Gabriel. Pros of Gabriel: the color lasted a lot longer, held up after blotting and eating, and so far at least hasn’t been as mushy as Real purity (whose lipsticks sometimes break off the base.) Also, I like the color options better than the current palette of real purity offerings which seem to be catering to ‘cottage core punk’ or purple haired types. I just want understated roses and pinks for a not overly made up look (and the occasional redder color for the Christmas holiday) and found three understated roses/pink colors in Gabriel. Cons of Gabriel: possibly not as ‘clean’ as real purity (but still better than most lipsticks), and after buying three, sometimes the colors aren’t exactly as expected from the marketing, but once I figure them out it’ll be ok for repeat buying the ones that actually look best. I had the same problem with real purity when I first tried them, but to my knowledge Gabriel doesn’t have cheap samples to try before investing in the actual lipstick tube. Of the three tubes I bought, I can live with Gabriel’s colors that I liked less as they’re still be good for various occasions (one is a little too bright pink but for the spring it will be fine). Real purity has to be used within a couple years or they kind of ‘go off’ as maybe the natural oils in them go rancid just like a food product, which is how pure they are. If it hadn’t been that they changed the color I mainly used (and many of the others on offer are too garish looking for me like bright lavender) I probably wouldn’t have tried Gabriel because I’m a creature of habit. I haven’t had Gabriel lipsticks that long, but I do like the colors and the performance for those occasions when I do wear lipstick. If I have to update I will in the future, but right now I think Gabriel is pretty great.

Great color. Easy to apply I love this color Size is just right. Slip into your bag. Great value for the money

About 5 years ago, I began to develop an allergic reaction to lipstick. I began to experience fine bumps and mild discomfort on my lower lip forcing me to just use products like vaseline or chapstick. Every 6 - 8 months, I try a new brand of lip gloss and lipstick that claims to be good for sensitive lips, but by the 3rd day my lip would break out. After taking another 6 month break, I decided to try this brand. I am only on day 3, but I am happy to report that I am feeling no signs of irritation. I love the color. It comes on very rich. It is almost matte like, so I am not finding that it is very moisterizing. The color stays put for hours with limited eating and drinking. I am hoping that my sensitive lips continue to behave. I truly miss wearing lipstick and would love to try more colors. I am feeling very hopeful about this product because all of the others that I have tried caused problems right away.

Gabriel lipsticks are the only brand I buy. Their ingredients are cleaner than other brands. They last a long time, and the matte finish application is even and doesn't bleed. They have a nice selection of peachy pink colors.

Meritage is the darkest lipstick I have ever bought!!! It is not "dark wine"... more like "black plum!" It is going back because the description of the color is not accurate. Very disappointing unless I wanted to look like the Munster family! I love the cleanness of this Gabriel line of lipsticks. The last stripe is the "goth" Meritage color, the next stripe is the color Matte Spice which is a great red lipstick with terra cotta tones, and then Velour color is a nice red with plum overtones. I like the Pomegranate color a lot as well because it's a nice spring/summer red which has a deep pink tone.

Very dry on my lips (which are mature). Definitely a matte, not satin, finish. Color is like frosty or metallic gold and slightly more warm orange than cool pink. Not a horrible orange color, just not as pink as I expected based on product photos. I’m looking to replace Maybelline’s NY Color Sensational “Bare All” 910 and this was not a match in terms of color or texture, unfortunately.

Nice product, good texture and color.

Love the colour, is slightly more orange than I normally wear (pillarbox red) but if you layer it the colour is really nice. It has a slight matte finish and is very moisturising. Just need to re-apply after eating and drinking. Very happy.

moisturising lippie and gentle on the lips

Nice texture and colour.thanks

I've got 3 colours of GABRIEL Lipstick depending on the reviews & as I undertood it's all natural ingredients & I was so excited to get them & try them on! but then when they arrived today, I was disapointed that the ingredients have (IRON OXIDES, MICA, TITANUM DIOXIDE) & everybody knows these are absolutely not natural or even good ingredients!! I really wished to give it 5 stars!!

Même s'il est arrivé quelques jours en retard, je suis satisfaite de ce produit. Couleur exquise et brillance sur les lèvres juste à point.
