Baviphat Pure Kiss Lipstick in Color 2 is a pink/orange lipstick for girls with edge. Formulated with shea butter and jojoba oil, this nutritious soft lipstick helps maintain your skin’s elasticity. With its smear-resistant properties, it adheres to your lips for a clean application and long-term moisture—without a sticky after-feel. Infused with a floral perfume, its romantic and refreshing scent is a gift to the lips~

Really quick~ I just want to say that it was SUCH a pain taking swatch photos for this lipstick! The color just would not show up accurately! In the end, the best bet was dim indoor lighting and really low camera exposure...It's still not perfect though, so I tried to compensate by describing it. Anyways, if you notice that the lighting—and my lips too, for that matter—look darker than my other reviews, that’s why.. >"<

Okie!

Color (on me): Soo...in most lighting it photographs as a cute strawberry-milk pastel pink; but in real life, it’s more of your standard coral pink. In brighter lighting it appears as a *vibrant* rosey pink (with a slight orange hue), while in dimmer lighting it leans more to the red side. I tried depicting that under “True Colors”:

Pigment: I find it quite pigmented! One swipe seems to be enough (notice how there's not much difference between one swipe and two swipes?).

Texture: Soft indeed! It glides on very smoothly and is slightly creamy—like shea butter! It’s a bit fragile though; if your lips have flaps of dry skin, it’ll leave deep scratches on the stick! Well actually, if you have dry skin you should exfoliate, because this baby clings to dead and dry skin!

Moisturizing: The funny thing is, even though it glides on smoothly it doesn’t actually feel moisturizing like a chapstick does. Nevertheless, it is in no way drying. It kinda just sits there like a protective film...if you know what I mean!

Scent: It’s got a hint of drugstore lipstick smell, but that’s about it. Oh romantic floral scent, where art thou?

Well, that's all! Thanks for reading~

So what do you think, would you try it? Have you tried any Baviphat products before?
