Catkin Semi-Matte Lipstick Hydrating High Impact Color Infused with Vitamin E and Avocado Oil Smooth Soft Texture Long Lasting Matte Finish 167

This is a quality product. A metal case, magnetized to stay closed. Packed inside a box with shrink wrap. The container itself is beautiful. The carving is lovely, but like a mandala drawn in sand, we know it can't last as we use it. Which is part of its beauty.The lipstick itself is really creamy, rich, the color not as dark as it seems in its tube. It really is as beautifully hazy and delicate on the lips as it is in the pictures. Only extend it as far as you must in order to use it. It's soft enough to break. If you want to just look at it, roll out the lipstick, but don't put it on that way. (It seems that some have not done this, and complain that it breaks. Of course it does, if it's extended all the way.)At any rate, for the money by far the best value I've had in a lipstick in a long time. So sick of cheap plastic lipstick cases.

I love this brand. My first time trying anything by them even though it’s been in my cart for the longest time. It went on sale and I decided to treat myself to this piece of art. Well worth it!There are a few reasons I love it;1) Thoughtful packaging.One of the most annoying things when shopping online is when a company doesn’t take the proper steps to ensuring their product arrives to you in perfect condition. Yeah, it is partly Amazon’s job, but from the company to Amazon, that’s their reputation as a company for ensuring quality. The lipstick arrived in a beautifully designed box, and when you opened it there’s a thin layer of cardboard surrounding the actual lipstick. It was the first time I’ve seen it, and it really made me appreciate the company’s thoughtfulness.2) Every part of the product is beautiful. From packaging to lipstick canister... it’s a work of art. I know their mission is blending beauty with traditional Chinese art/ aesthetics and it’s no joke. This is nothing short of a masterpiece.3) The lid to the lipstick is magnetic. I think this is another clever and thoughtful design element. I don’t know if you have had a lipstick open in your purse and ruin EVERYTHING, but I have. It is a PAIN to clean out, I’m so sorry if you’ve experienced this too. What I like about this is, if you put it in your purse/pocket/stashie, you’ll never have to worry about it opening, breaking into bits, and ruining everything it comes in contact with. It’s also very satisfying to hold it and hear the metal click in place.4) It is actually moisturizing. It’s not a company that only does one thing well, design vs quality; it has both. The formula is moisturizing (at least for me) and I live in PA which means chapped lips. The color is pigmented you can build up as much color as you want though. The first time I only did one coat and it was a bit coral, then when I applied multiple coats it has a beautiful rouge color. I can’t really talk about longevity objectively because no matter what brand, lipstick usually lasts all day for me.I’ve talked a lot about it XD so if you’ve made it this far, I hope you can see why it’s worth buying~I enjoyed everything about this brand and when I save enough, that $108 kit of lipsticks will be mine (broke college student here).I would definitely recommend this to any makeup/ art lover~!

Great texture and vibrant color with staying power!! Good price point.

This brand does a good job of making lipstick seem luxurious. The design elements are well above average. The lipstick is not moisturizing, but isn't as drying as some. Seconds after applying, there is very minimal transfer onto tissue when pressed moderately to lips. Overall, I'm happy with this lipstick.

What do you think? Would you buy this?Update: they sent me a new one and it works great! The color seriously stays on.. for like 24 hours. At least the tint of it does. It obviously wipes off. But it’s very long lasting and creamy.

Beautiful lipstick in appearance and wear. Matte with a nice blush color. That actual lipstick is engaged with a unique jungle visage. The tube is also very stylish and had a magnetic cap so it won't come off in a big purse. Ive had several.compliments. Totally recommend!

it peeled my lips like crazy

Beautiful color but doesn't stay long in my lips.

Goes on smooth and looks beautiful on the lips

C'est un rouge à lèvre, il fait son travail. Pas eu l'occasion encore de le tester pour une journée entière mais pour une demi journée il tient et ne s'efface pas, étant mat il se fond parfaitement avec le reste du maquillage et les sculptures sont magnifiques.

Fuí a abrir el labial para ver como era y en cuanto saqué un poco el producto se partió por la mitad.Es bonito el color y los detalles, pero tan débil que se partió sin usarlo ni abrirlo bruscamente.

Felicissima di aver comprato questo rossetto. È molto morbido, sia per stenderlo che a tenerlo addosso. Dopo un po' che lo si ha sulle labbra si asciuga, ma resta molto molto confortevole.Ovviamente non essendo una tinta labbra non è a lunga tenuta, anzi va via subito anche solo bevendo, ma per lo scopo per cui l'ho acquistato io è bellissimo e sono felicissima! Comprerò altri colori!

Eine sehr schöne, matte Farbe- nicht allzu aufdringlich und alltagstauglich.Er hält gut, aber nicht den ganzen Tag- das war mir aber auch nicht wichtig! (Es ist aber auch nicht so, dass man ständig nachschmieren muss!)Ich kann ihn ohne Weiteres empfehlen 😊
