Honeybee Gardens Truly Natural lipstick in "San Francisco"

I am generally a bright colors kinda gal, so nude lipsticks are not usually my go-to lip product. When I do wear lipstick, I like to feel perked up by a vibrant color on my pout (otherwise I’ll just wear a lip balm or gloss and let my natural lip color shine through). But when choosing some samples of Honeybee Gardens’ lipstick a few weeks ago, I decided to also try one of their lighter colors. The Honeybee Gardens website does not describe this color as “nude”, but I personally consider it a nude, since it’s such a light shade.

The shade is “San Francisco”, and as shown in the photos above, one can’t deny that it’s a lovely, flattering shade. This light neutral color has notes of pink and peach, with fine grains of shimmer that produce a metallic effect. I find that really cool – and if I am going to paint my lips with something that is lighter than my natural lip color, I’d at least like to have a cool effect like a shimmer or a metallic sheen.

Honeybee Gardens Truly Natural lipsticks are – as their title suggests – all-natural, as well as paraben free, mineral oil free, and FD&C color free. This particular shade of lipstick is formulated using 

Honeybee Gardens’ new vegan formula, which uses the following ingredients:

Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil*, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil *, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax*, Trioctyldodecyl Citrate, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter+, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Oil, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenethyl alcohol. May Contain: Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI77891), Iron Oxide (CI77491, CI77492, CI77499, CI 45410).
* = certified organic ingredients; + = certified Fair Trade.

This is the second Honeybee Gardens shade of lipstick I have reviewed (the first was “Queen Bee”,which is definitely a gorgeous color of lipstick everyone should see to believe). I have been super impressed with these lipstick formulas. They are non-drying, stay put for a long time, and have vibrant pigments. The formulas feel velvety and leave lips soft and protected.
