Crimson Catz Lip Shield Review

Crimson Catz Lip Shield Review
If you do not like wearing bright lip colors but cannot get any other alternative of that lovely lipstick shade you have been drooling over then this post is for you. Crimson Catz is a UK brand that provides natural and beautiful lipsticks to its customers. Crimson Catz Lip Shield* can be used as a lip balm, base for dry lipsticks, lip sheen to give glossy look to the lips and to lighten bright lipsticks. Sounds amazing? The lip shield is priced at 14.50 GBP and you can buy online HERE.

I totally loved the color of the packaging

Swatch of Crimson Catz Lip Shield Review
Crimson Catz Lip Shield comes in a retractable smooth, red lipstick type packaging with the same colored pull off lid. It is the best and luxurious packaging I have seen in a lip balm. There is a clear window at the top that allows you to identify the shade in case you hoard many from this range. The base of the tube needs to be twisted to reveal the lip shield just like you use any lipstick. It can also be twisted back to put the lip shield back in the tube. The tube is incredibly light and looks luxurious on my vanity table and of course in my bag. It is functional and easy to use. The lid is quite tight and clicks conveniently without any fear of being opened in the bag.

As soon as you open the lid, you will be greeted with a yellow lip shield bullet. It is a clear lip balm and has a mild scent of castor and jojoba oil which is not bothersome at all.
   
The lip balm is soft and smooth in texture with creamy consistency. It spreads and applies smoothly on lips without feeling heavy, greasy or waxy. It does not release clumps and feels soft and smooth on the lips. My lips feel protected and moisturized the moment I apply it on my lips. The lip shield doesn't sit on the surface of the lips but sinks in comfortably. It makes my lips feel soft, smooth, supple and nourished instantly as it contains castor oil, jojoba oil and Vitamin E. It gives a nice glossy sheen to my lips making them look pretty and healthy. It lasts for quite a long time on my lips but I have the habit of reapplying it anyway. It doesn't have a weird taste unlike other lip balms. I love using it as a base for lipsticks as it gets absorbed almost instantly and I don’t have to wait for ages. It heals and repairs dry and chapped lips within a week of continuous usage. I was suffering from dry lips due to the less intake of water and my lips instantly felt relieved with just one usage. I also love applying it over dark and bright lipsticks to give soft and delicate look to my lips. It really tones down the shade. I love carrying it in my bag and it definitely makes heads turn due to its gorgeous and elegant packaging.

It provides a lovely glossy sheen to the lips and I love applying it over my lipsticks for that gorgeous and soft look. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Rating: 4.8/5

My Tips:
•    Apply the lip shield with light hands as you just need to swipe it once to get the effect.
