DEAR DAHLIA Lip Paradise Effortless Matte Lipstick CAMILLA Vegan, Cruelty Free, Naturally Scented Essential Oils, High Pigment Color

Beautifully packaged lipstick in a weighty case which looks and feels glamourous even before you put it on.The texture is matte but not as drying as a Mac Retro Matte. More like between a Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour and Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution.The Camilla colour is an muted red brick which is flattering on warm skin tones, I wear a light bit of bronzer with it as am fair.Wears really well, even better with a light lip line

This is a really lovely lipstick and I adore the colour. It has a matt finish and feels really good when you put it on. It doesn't feel sticky but does feel smooth and I do think it moisturises the lips as well as it felt great when applied.I applied this and I did find that it didn't stay on too long when I was eating and drinking, it would need to be reapplied after a meal. I did wear it on an evening out and after a couple of hours, it had virtually gone, so it needed another application. The good thing about this is that a little does go a long way and I always use a brush to apply lipstick so this does help.It is a pricy lipstick in my opinion, I am not a heavy makeup user and only wear it maybe once a week if I go out. Having said that this is really nice and I can feel a difference in the texture of this one compared to my cheaper ones. It is a good product and I would recommend it.

I can't really usefully comment on specific colours, as I would never BUY a new lipstick I'd not used from a range, online.Like buying perfumes, I think lipstick shades need testing against your skin.I was delighted to be offered so many shades from this range, and selected several which looked similar to tones of colour which work well for me - but, as said, subtle variations will occur depending on the natural colour of your own lips.So generally I really like the well presented,rather luxurious lipstick case design, which will easily withstand rolling around in a handbag etc.I normally always apply lipstick with a lipbrush, so am never too bothered by the shaping of the stick at its pointed end anyway.This didn't feel drying on the lips, but there was a very slight tingle which I don't really like - its a very low dial down of irritation, but shouldn't be there.I like that it is vegan, and like that intensity of shade. I suspect though that it is pretty over-priced as a marketing ploy. Some equate high priced items with quality, but IMO that's just spin.

This is a lovely looking lipstick from a relatively new player in the lipstick/cosmetic's market. The box and lipstick holder look of a high end and good quality, from the great design to the shape of the lipstick and the faint logo on the lipstick holder, it juts exudes class.The lipstick itself is available in a number of styles and shades, from the traditional twist out lipsticks, to brush applied lipsticks, and some of the colours are just beautiful. We plumped for the Camilla which is a kind of deep Matte Red colour.Application is very easy, and whilst it stays put mostly, you do notice lipstick marks when drinking from glasses so you may need to top up a little.Overall though a high class looking premium lipstick, which is Vegan friendly. A little more expensive than other brands, but not so much that you should overlook it.

I'd love this lipstick if only it was the right shade. Unfortunately, this Camilla shade is far too bright for me but that's just personal preference as I am used to more neutral colours.The lipstick itself is beautiful. The casing feels luxurious and I love that this is a cruelty-free brand and Vegan. The lipstick is very creamy and when you apply, it glides on perfectly leaving your lips super soft. The colour is matte, which is something I much prefer and the colour pigment is rich.Price-wise, £30 is quite a lot for a lipstick especially if you have never heard of the brand before like me, but I can say it definitely has that feel of a quality lipstick and is long-lasting too. If this had been my shade I think it'd be my go-to on a daily basis. 4/5
