Glow: The color and the formula is very consistent. It's not a full coverage lipstick and I actually like that because it has a semi sheer and more natural looking hue. The shades aren't overwhelming but yet still very vibrant. They go on smooth and last pretty well. My lips didn't feel dry at all and they retained their natural moisture.

Glare: I know this may sound weird but...the only flaw I noticed was that when I opened some of the lipsticks, it seemed as if they were sweating. I've never experienced anything like that before so I'm completely unsure of the cause. My only assumption would be that maybe it's the temperature I have them stored in? Or could it possibly be the tube itself that's causing the moisture? Either way it's very minimal and doesn't seem to be effecting the quality of the lipsticks. Has anyone ever experienced this? If you have any insight please share :o)

Would I Recommend It? Yes! They have such a nice variety of shades that seem to be very complimentary to most skin-tones. They're definitely a keeper in my book!

Overall Glam: In a world full of products with harsh & grimy contents, it's refreshing to see companies that not only offer products with natural ingredients but who also care about what goes into their brand as well as the effects they have on the consumer. How many companies have you seen that offer 100% natural products? No dyes, no nasty chemicals. Bottom line they're great quality lipsticks with healthy benefits.
