It’s a banner day for me when I find a little known, but nevertheless outstanding product. Dr. Hauschka- known for great natural skincare- has lipsticks that are moisturizing, long lasting, and natural looking. Score!
Rosehip extract is touted as a primary “care” ingredient of this product—rosehip is high in vitamins A and C, and also purportedly has both soothing and antiseptic properties. I like Burt’s Bees skin care products with rosehip oil, so I thought I’d give these lipsticks a try.
My first purchase was 01 (Amoroso), described on the Hauschka web site as a “soft coral”; on my pale olive skin tone, this description rings true. It is deeper than my natural lip tone, and looks fine with NARS Penny Lane blush, a staple in my cosmetics bag.
I next purchased 09 (Dolce), described as “iridescent bronze”. I like this one even better! This shade reads on my skin/lip tone as “Penny Lane in a tube”.
The shimmer in both lipsticks is very fine—I’d call it more of a gleam. While they aren’t the cheapest products out there at $23.95, I can easily see using both of these shades up, making the cost per wear negligible. I’ve had the first shade since last summer and the tube is approximately half-used. How many cosmetics can I honestly say I’ve used half of? Not many, so I must really like this product!
Dr. Hauschka has web shopping—the products are available at a number of brick and mortar sites (I’ll need to try 03—Giocoso-- when Whole Foods has them on sale next) and at web outlets (drugstore.com, garnethill.com).
