Zuzu Luxe

Moisturizing with a great pop of color that’s surprisingly long-lasting. Works well when worn alone or over the brand’s similarly toned Starlet lipstick. Another great product from Zuzu Luxe in that rare category of really wearable vegan, all-natural neutral reds.

It’s the perfect neutral red, and it’s both vegan and all-natural (a tough combination to find). Most all-natural reds are made with carmine (which I avoid because the beetle origin is just too icky for me), and the ones I’ve found without carmine are just “off”—either the color is too pink, too purple, too orange, or too drying. As other folks have noted, this formula is long-lasting but also fades beautifully to an easy-to-wear stain. I keep trying other reds because I want a more exciting formula (specifically with a fragrance, as I like a little fruitiness or minty-ness), but I always come back to this.

In the pan this blush looks a little scary. However, it's actually beautiful and very natural on. I like the cool tone as it looks more natural on me, I'm fair with beige undertones and cool blush colors balance me out. I was obsessed with smashbox soft lights in prism but sadly it's been discontinued. I was looking for a dupe and I think this may be the closest I've found. Gives a wonderful natural glowy flush. It is definitely buildable, but I use a very small amount so I don't look crazy since I'm pretty fair skinned lol. Overall this is a great everyday blush and really easy to apply. Has been my go-to!

Like others have said, I found this very sheer. The product was quite runny and didn't cover much. Was expecting more from this product. Maybe I got a bad batch? I love that it's all natural but it didn't work for me.

This lipstick is a very pretty deep, coolish pink in the tube, but goes on much lighter and very sheer. It's quite waxy, so it's difficult to build the color, which lasts only a short time on the lips. It's supposed to be unscented, but I found it to have a somewhat unpleasant "lipstick" odor; however, that dissipates quickly. It's packaged in a somewhat tinny aluminum tube, but it closes securely and didn't get banged up too much in my purse. I have celiac disease, and this was one of my first gluten-free lipstick purchases. It's a pretty MLBB on me, but the negatives outweigh the positives. I would not recommend or repurchase. There are much better, less expensive, more mainstream options available.
