I've been MIA lately due to numbers of endeavors and events I went to (non blog-related) and so it has been days already since I last published my most recent blog when my goal is to publish at least one every single day. Anyway, I know I had to make up so...here's a review about Real Natura Organic Soft Matte Lip Gems. The shades I have here are Naked Berry, Wine Plum, Sultry Twist, Juicy Orange, and Poppy Velvet. If I am not mistaken, there are 10 shades to choose from. In general, I would say that this collection has more vibrant and summer-y shade selection.

PACKAGING

I like that each lipstick comes in a recyclable box with enough information like claims, benefits, ingredients, etc. This satisfies people like me who are conscious about what we put on our skin and who love to read as well.

The lipsticks itself looks chic and sleek with that two-toned design and a gold divider. It actually resembles the packaging of Revlon, for me especially the one with an all-black design. I just don't get it why they have different color combinations. The shade of each lipsticks are written at the bottom as well, like drugstore lipsticks and this made me admire organic products as well--they are trying very hard to get their packaging as another selling point.

PRICE POINT

I understand that probably what I paid for are the fact that these are cruelty-free and safe for daily use, but I did not afford buying other shades because a piece is pricier than other drugstore makeups. Even if they are labeled as only made up of safe ingredients, I still think that P399 a stick is a little over.

SHADES

I really like the shade selection as I could see myself wearing almost everything everyday without going a little too overboard or inadequate. However, I would love it more should they include more nudish-pinkish shades in the collection since most are vibrant and colorful in shade.

• Naked Berry - This shade appears barbie pink from the stick that at first, I thought I would not be reaching for it frequently since it's too vibrant for my liking. It also has shimmers on it but become unnoticeable on the lips. I have fair skin but with yellow undertone but you will like wearing this lipstick whenever you want to look youthful and fun. I don't know, it just complements flashy smiles lol.

• Wine Plum - In my opinion, Wine Plum is the most beautiful shade in all the lippies I have from Real Natura Organics (which happened to be only these five). It is red in shade but not something that looks so flashy. I would be reaching more of this if ever I settle in the corporate world.

• Sultry Twist - This shade is a shade of a true red for me with an orange undertone. It is also one I could wear on a daily basis without going overboard.

• Juicy Orange - This is bright orange in color which I would not wear much on a daily basis unless I am off to a fun night out with friends or if I am off to a costume party. It's not because it's an off shade for me but because I am not much into oranges. I see this as the most perfect shade if you are aiming for an effortless summer look.

• Poppy Velvet - Poppy Velvet appears to me like a combination of red, pink and orange. It gives something like a sexy vibe whenever I wear this. It is brightening as well and complements any skin tone.

TEXTURE, CONSISTENCY AND EASE OF APPLICATION

• Naked Berry- soft, creamy, easy to blend but has the tendency to emphasize dry and patchy areas of the lips, has a little shine
• Wine Plum - drier in texture, harder to blend, a little sticky upon application, but looks the most matte among other shades, use of lip balm underneath may be necessary (especially to those with super dry lips like mine)
• Sultry Twist - soft, creamy, applies easily on the lips, satin finish
• Juicy Orange - super easy to blend on the lips because it's literally juicy in consistency, however, it tends to look patchy and not so buildable because of the sheer color payoff, shiny in appearance
• Poppy Velvet - soft, creamy and easy to blend, satin finish

PIGMENTATION/COLOR PAY-OFF

All of these have awesome pigmentation and color pay-off. You get the shade from the stick itself so it's true to color. The shades are very opaque except for the Juicy Orange which may appear patchy and sheer but still leaves a beautiful pinkish stain. I don't know why but every shade seems to leave beautiful stains on the lips.

SCENTS

I can't really describe the scents but most of these smells good. I think it will not be a problem even to those who are sensitive to scents.

LONGEVITY

I admit, these lipsticks from Real Natura Organics are really impressive in the longevity department as the colors stay a maximim of 5-6 hours on the lips with minimal eating and drinking but the stains stay on my lips all day! Yes, all day (!) even after washing my face! I think that would be the main selling point of these products.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Even though a piece is pricey, I still think that it's worth buying given that you won't need a lot of reapplication to get your desired pigmentation. If you are a lipstick junkie, a professional makeup artist or even amateurs, I suggest you get these morganic and naturally-made lipsticks from a beloved and trusted organic seller, Real Natura Organics.

Real Natura Organics Healthy Skin Foundation in Rose, Highlighter in Maria, Wink Brow Dressing in Raven and Soft Matte Lip Gem in Juicy Orange Review

Healthy Skin Foundation SPF 60+++  15g
Wink Brow Dressing in Raven 12g (P299)
Dazzling Highlighter in Maria (P399)
Soft Matte Lip Gem in Juicy Orange (P659)

From: Natura Organics

Good day! I have been MIA these past few days, again, because of some school stuff. I had to go to class early and went home later than midnight for some required extracurricular activities that involves so much travelling. Graduating-student-feels-like. Hahaha! Anyway, to make up, I have four products here to review--all came from one of the most popular organic brand from Instagram as of today, Natura Organics. Thanks Doc Mel for sending these makeup over!

Healthy Skin Foundation SPF 60+++ 

This is the Healthy Skin Foundation with SPF60+++ in shade Rose. Also available in shades:  It comes in a small, heavy plastic tub. The packaging, for me, looks so cute and posh, I had to look in the market for the same available jar to store my creams and mask which I can bring for travel as a substitute for bulky tubs. The only problem I had with the packaging is the lack of ingredients list. Anyway, as I remember, I can just go to their digital store and browse.

As I have said, the shade that Doc Mel send me is in shade Rose with a strong peach pigmentation almost pastel orange-y and a peachy pink undertone. Unfortunately, this looks a shade tad lighter than my skin tone (fair with a yellow undertone) and a bit ghostly when blended. What I usually do is top it off with a darker shade of powder foundation, I had one from Maybelline. I find it a little hard to blend too so putting light moisturizers underneath is advisable. However, I like that it dries to a soft powdery matte, suitable for any skin types. 

The picture above shows a little of the scooped product. In personal, the shade is stronger than what is in that picture. Maybe if you have porcelain skin tone, then maybe this shade is for you. Also, a little would go a long way so paying more for an organic and cruel-free foundation is worth your every penny.

Highlighter in Maria

This highlighter from Natura Organics is one of the the first organic highlighters in the local market and comes in four shades: Calliope, Aceya, Maria and Athena. This comes in a durable plastic with a jewel-like cover. One product has an estimation of 10g at minimum. A little goes a long way too. The shade of the product is noticeably different from the photo above and below. This is because, when unused for a period of time, it can developed an oxidized layer. This is easily manageable by shedding off the first layer until you can see the fresher shade. In person, highlighter in the shade Maria has a light pink tone with shimmers for more highlighting effect.

Again, the shade does not really suit me well. I guess it would be perfect for those with pinkish and light skin instead. I prefer the Calliope shade with a yellow undertone though. But the thing is, I could rely for this highlighter now for a subtle highlight when I am off to somewhere and this thing would not melt easily on my oily skin, meaning it's pretty long-wearing! Just be patient in blending as it could have some tugging issues upon application.

Again, this product is made of natural and organic ingredients minus the synthetic ones so you might want to give this a try too! By the way, if you want to try these, you can avail the cheaper ones in Mini Strobe Glow Sticks for P199 each!

Wink Brow Dressing in Raven

The packaging is the same with the highlighter above, very travel-friendly indeed. It also comes in four shades: Caramel, Auburn, Chocolate and Raven with 12 g of products each. It also has a barely-there scent (all the products here do too). I believe the shade is the darkest one as it is almost similar to charcoal black (grayish black). I like that a little goes a long way already. Unfortunately, it having a dark shade for my slightly colored hair makes it unfit for everyday use. Again, the problem is the shade for my hair color. Had I stick to my natural hair color, this would be a perfect match. So if you have uncolored hair, you might want stick to this shade. But, other than that, I love everything to bits.

This dries in a slightly dewy finish so eyebrow fillers in powder forms is advisable to prolong the life of this product on your eyebrows. 

Soft Matte Lip Gem in Juicy Orange

The packaging looks sleek for me because of the shiny black and white theme and a little gold lining. One retails for P659 each, kinda pricey, yes, but guarateed that it will not do harm on your lips! I like that this lip gem is so moisturizing! It comes in a bright orange hue but leaves a nice somewhat subtle pink stain on the lips! And it feels very hydrating after long hours of drinking and eating!

Aside from Juicy Orange, it has other shades like: Red Petal, Fuchsia Punch, Sultry Twist, Coral Mauve, Naked Berry, Poppy Velvet, Wine Plum, Caramel Glaze and Cocoa Cabernet.

The photo below shows one swipe swatch of the product. See that it does not have a fully pigmented shade with a single swipe. Nonetheless, I like it. I started to love orange shades with the same consistency even if I have not been a wearer before.
