Kissed By Maui Lipsticks

Review by Lisa VanWilliams

Need a hot new color for your lipstick collection? Kissed By Maui is a small company that makes all natural, handmade, luxurious lipsticks with mostly organic ingredients. Robin Kory was living in Hawaii when she was inspired to start the line because she was concerned about the number of toxins used in some beauty products. Kissed by Maui lipsticks are made with pure ingredients like beeswax, organic castor oil, organic jojoba oil, organic shea butter, vitamin E oil, pikake 100% absolute essential oil, candelillia wax, and grapefruit seed wax.

They offer a Hawaiian rainbow of magnificent colors like Hula Girl Pink, Hawaiian Spice, Island Girl, Haleakala Nights, & Exotic Orchid to name a few. The lipsticks comes in a beautiful eco-friendly bamboo case, complete with cute etched flower. The lipsticks are cruelty free. They sell for around $17, and they come beautifully wrapped.

Robin sent me a few colors to check out. The lipsticks go on smooth and feel moisturizing. Don't feel fooled by the colors either. You would think Haleakala nights would be a dark rocker look, but it's not. It comes out like a shiny dusted rose. Same with the pinks. I was a little scared I was going to have an 80's flashback and need to crimp my hair, but that was not the case! They are not eye popping OMG that's pink, they are subtle shimmers and I like how they look. Natural looking, not dramatic (if that's the look your going for). I would recommend trying the brand out if you are looking to try a new non-toxic brand.
