I bought the BH Cosmetics
lipstick on the same occasion I bought the Real Techniques Core Collection. I
have tried it a few times and has decided to do a review on the product. I
swear the sales girl scampered me into buying as I had no intention of getting
a lipstick when I went into the store much less a nude coloured one. So I decided
to take the BH Cosmetics lipstick when given the option between it and a Milani
Colour Statement in Nude Crème which I had initially wanted. But seeing that I can
purchase a Milani lipstick readily and had already had a few, I opted for the
BH Cosmetics lipstick in Tea Time.
The lipstick comes in a slick black
packaging with a clear base showing
the actual colour of the lipstick. The only writings present on the tube is the
BH Cosmetics Crème Luxe Lipstick written down the side and the name of the
colour on the clear base (as seen in the photo above). It reminds me a lot of
the NYX Round lipsticks except that the BH Cosmetics lipstick has a greater
circumference and is taller. However the inner tube and the actual lipstick is
the same size. The packaging feels durable and closes pretty
tightly so I doubt the cap would be coming off in your make-up bag.

On the BH Cosmetics website these
are priced at USD$7.95 generally but
they are always having some sort of sale where you can get them cheaper. At the
local store I purchased it for JMD$600, which isn't bad for a lip product. So I
can say it’s afford and well-priced.
Now on to the actual lipstick
itself. It is available in 12 shades but the one I have is in Tea Time, one of
the lightest shades available. The texture
of the lipstick when applied to the lips is very creamy as suggested by the
name Crème Luxe. It reminds me a lot of the creaminess of the MAC Amplified lipstick.
The pigmentation is fairly good considering that such a light colour showed up
on my much pigmented lips. Overall I find the formulation to be too creamy for
my liking (not a fan of MAC’s Amplified formula either). I feel as if it will
just slip off my lips as time goes on not the mention the colour applies patchy
and slips and slides when I rub my lips together. This is definitely one of
those lip products that you have to apply, blot then apply again and might even
need to blot a second time just to get it to adhere to your lips.

I am not sure if I would purchase
another one, if I did it would be a darker colour just for the sake of trying
it out.
