Gabriel Cosmetics Organic Lipstick (Pomegranate - Deep Red/Cool Crème)

I’ve been a longtime user of their competitor’s product (real purity) which I also like but they seemed to have changed their passion color which I was using, so I tried Gabriel. Pros of Gabriel: the color lasted a lot longer, held up after blotting and eating, and so far at least hasn’t been as mushy as Real purity (whose lipsticks sometimes break off the base.) Also, I like the color options better than the current palette of real purity offerings which seem to be catering to ‘cottage core punk’ or purple haired types. I just want understated roses and pinks for a not overly made up look (and the occasional redder color for the Christmas holiday) and found three understated roses/pink colors in Gabriel. Cons of Gabriel: possibly not as ‘clean’ as real purity (but still better than most lipsticks), and after buying three, sometimes the colors aren’t exactly as expected from the marketing, but once I figure them out it’ll be ok for repeat buying the ones that actually look best. I had the same problem with real purity when I first tried them, but to my knowledge Gabriel doesn’t have cheap samples to try before investing in the actual lipstick tube. Of the three tubes I bought, I can live with Gabriel’s colors that I liked less as they’re still be good for various occasions (one is a little too bright pink but for the spring it will be fine). Real purity has to be used within a couple years or they kind of ‘go off’ as maybe the natural oils in them go rancid just like a food product, which is how pure they are. If it hadn’t been that they changed the color I mainly used (and many of the others on offer are too garish looking for me like bright lavender) I probably wouldn’t have tried Gabriel because I’m a creature of habit. I haven’t had Gabriel lipsticks that long, but I do like the colors and the performance for those occasions when I do wear lipstick. If I have to update I will in the future, but right now I think Gabriel is pretty great.

So hard to find a lipstick without artificial dyes for my daughter (for dance) and this was PERFECT!! The color was vibrant, stayed on well, and went on smoothly!! Can’t wait to try more products! Thank you for making clean make up and not costing a fortune!!

Love the color. The lipstick is moisturizing.

About 5 years ago, I began to develop an allergic reaction to lipstick. I began to experience fine bumps and mild discomfort on my lower lip forcing me to just use products like vaseline or chapstick. Every 6 - 8 months, I try a new brand of lip gloss and lipstick that claims to be good for sensitive lips, but by the 3rd day my lip would break out. After taking another 6 month break, I decided to try this brand. I am only on day 3, but I am happy to report that I am feeling no signs of irritation. I love the color. It comes on very rich. It is almost matte like, so I am not finding that it is very moisterizing. The color stays put for hours with limited eating and drinking. I am hoping that my sensitive lips continue to behave. I truly miss wearing lipstick and would love to try more colors. I am feeling very hopeful about this product because all of the others that I have tried caused problems right away.

Lovely, moist and long-lasting, good neutral color

Unfortunately not what I had anticipated. Packaging and lipstick unit was quality materials. Not cheap feeling. Lipstick was just not the color it showed online once applied to the lip. It was much more sheer and not opaque. I applied it over concealed lips and still just didn't have the color Pay off I was looking for. No smell or anything over bearing. I will say, I thought the lipstick was a bit waxy or sticky for my preference but I tend to gravitate more towards dry mattes or liquid mattes . $20 is a bit more than what i typically spend on a singular lipstick unless I know for sure the brand is consistent with their formulas like MAC or Jeffree Star, however I liked the color online so I was willing to try. I think it's over priced tbh. For $5 more you can go to Mac and get the best lipsticks of your life, with that said - 3/5. It's just okay.

Meritage is the darkest lipstick I have ever bought!!! It is not "dark wine"... more like "black plum!" It is going back because the description of the color is not accurate. Very disappointing unless I wanted to look like the Munster family! I love the cleanness of this Gabriel line of lipsticks. The last stripe is the "goth" Meritage color, the next stripe is the color Matte Spice which is a great red lipstick with terra cotta tones, and then Velour color is a nice red with plum overtones. I like the Pomegranate color a lot as well because it's a nice spring/summer red which has a deep pink tone.

Great color. Easy to apply I love this color Size is just right. Slip into your bag. Great value for the money

Love the colour, is slightly more orange than I normally wear (pillarbox red) but if you layer it the colour is really nice. It has a slight matte finish and is very moisturising. Just need to re-apply after eating and drinking. Very happy.

moisturising lippie and gentle on the lips

Nice texture and colour.thanks

I've got 3 colours of GABRIEL Lipstick depending on the reviews & as I undertood it's all natural ingredients & I was so excited to get them & try them on! but then when they arrived today, I was disapointed that the ingredients have (IRON OXIDES, MICA, TITANUM DIOXIDE) & everybody knows these are absolutely not natural or even good ingredients!! I really wished to give it 5 stars!!

Même s'il est arrivé quelques jours en retard, je suis satisfaite de ce produit. Couleur exquise et brillance sur les lèvres juste à point.
