The lipstick is a blend of aloe vera, beeswax, vitamin E and oils that are genuinely beneficial to your lips. Together, these ingredients lock in the moisture and create beautifully hydrated lips; keeping your color on for hours (generally 3-4 hours). Please note that this is NOT a green lipstick. The color will change to a beautiful watermelon pink as it adapts to your own PH. MODE OF APPLICATION: Apply and DO NOT blot your lips together for at least 10 minutes. Allow the richness of the oils to bond with you first and then press your lips to set the colour. HINT: NEVER blot with a tissue, as this will remove the richness of the oils.
