Packaging
The matt black box with silver lettering gives the product a modern, quality feel, but this is let down by the printing error which describes the Living Nature product as ‘MADE OF NEW ZEALAND’.
The matt black casing of the Living Nature lipstick continues the modern, quality feel and was a welcome change to the shiny metal casings of many lipsticks. I would be happy to get this lipstick out in public! There is a reassuring weight to the product and a good, firm movement when twisting the lipstick up and down.

Appearance of lipstick
A good muted colour; no obvious perfume.

Performance
A creamy natural lipstick which gives good coverage, but which is slightly heavy and rather ageing. I was aware of the product on my lips and conscious that the lipstick was quite obvious, rather than the ‘natural’ feel and look which I prefer. When the product wore off, it left a slight staining to the lips.
The Living Nature lip stick transferred easily to cups and even survived a wash cycle in the dishwasher. It did not, however, stay in place during a meal.

General Comments
The shade (Morning Sun) did not suit my colouring. It came up more orange than I expected from its initial appearance and lacked a red tone, which I would have expected from something described as ‘Morning Sun’. It is rather a flat colour which lacks any shine. I would not buy this product in this shade, but would be interested to try it in a brown/pink shade.
Overall: 8/10.
