Passionate

Comments about LUSH Passionate:

This is my default lipstick when I'm going out. I'll usually use a lip balm base during the day so it's not quite as bright, but if I'm going out at night I apply it directly. It's super bright and looks great! It's not sticky like a lot of lipsticks, it lasts a long time (lasts even through eating), and I get a ton of compliments on it. It's so versatile too! It can be light with a lip balm, or super vibrant if applied heavily. I haven't tried it as a blush yet, but I have used it on my eyes, and it looks great! Would definitely love to try more colors.

This was a complete impulse buy that has turned into my go-to lip color.

I'm usually a chapstick and eyeliner minimalist (if I'm feeling fancy, the lip balm is *tinted*) but there's just something about this color that is irresistible.

Application can be a bit fussy at first - the wand works OK, fingers help - but look out - that color gets on *everything*. There's a l-o-n-g setting time for this. You can control how light/transparent or heavy/opaque you want it. So far, I've just needed one application to get me through a work day + lunch. If I were to go out after work, I'd consider a touch up, but that would be only for the fanciest of pants parties.

This color stayed put through a full day of eating, chewing my lips, drinking from cans, and applying occasional lip balm. The best part is that my lips don't feel like sandpaper either. I've tried several long-wear lip products that leave me feeling super dry, and while this isn't quite the same as a lip balm it's also not abusive to my lips. Plus, the color is GORGEOUS!

Lip stain plus a balm equals a lip stain that will keep your lips moist and work more like a lipstick.

I use this as a lip stain and I love it! I apply some lip balm first if I don't want it too dark. I always use a lip brush to apply because straight from the applicator is incredibly bright (might be great for a "going out" look but is too much for everyday wear). I have used it on my cheeks but didn't like it as much. I can't wait to try it as eyeshadow but I know it will have a long drying time before it sets up. Once it does though I know it will last all day! Can't wait to try more colors!

This color is really bright and fun! It's SO pink and it has a tiny bit of blue iridescence. However, it shouldn't be marketed as a lipstick. I tried it on in a shop for fun, but now it's the next morning and it still hasn't come off! Which would be a great quality in a stain, but not what I was expecting to happen. It was also a little drying as the night went on, but it didn't bother me too much.

We walked in on launch day and were immediately drawn to this color. My fiance picked it out (knowing that I'm a sucker for hot pink) and I decided to give it a whirl in the store. I honestly didn't expect much - in the lipstick world, I've about seen everything. But I was fairly impressed at first; it wasn't drying, the color was phenomenal, it wasn't messy, and I got all sorts of compliments. My fiance basically forced my hand on this one - I had no choice but to spoil myself a little :) But what really won me over was how long it lasted! One application stayed bright and shiny through the heat (and sweat), lunch AND dinner, a night at the bar, kissing my man (very notable), and several hours of chatting with my friend. I even fell asleep wearing Passionate and lo-and-behold, still just as bright the next morning!! It's definately more of a lip stain than stick, but perfect for those times when you don't want to carry your color around all day to re-apply. Five Stars!
