Color The World Lipstick
Color The World artisan lipstick is founded by two internet start-up brothers, Stephen and Wayne along with Stephen's makeup maven wife, Stephanie. The company's goals are 2-fold: Make amazing lipstick that is 100% vegetarian; containing organic and natural waxes; and is cruelty free ... and then use some of the profits to support worthy causes around the world. 10% of the profits of each color of lipstick is targeted to go to a specific (listed) charity -- causes the company wants to connect with to make a difference.
For now Color My World focuses on just lipstick, but oh, what lipstick it is. The lipstick is hand poured, smooth and moisturizing. Created to be not too shiny or matte, the color doesn't feather out or bleed. The rich emollients are especially beneficial to lips that are 40+ years of age, but as you can see the beautiful array of colors appeal to all ages.
There are lots of flattering and everyday shades offered at a reasonable price. Mid-priced lipstick for top-notch vegan ingredients. Some of the multi-sets are good deals, and the (recyclable) cardboard tube packaging makes adorable gifts.
What fun to try new, indy brands, and this one gives a little back to the world.
The one bit of oddness is the owners have an internet presence -- a business website and facebook page, as well as, good customer (via Google and YouTube) reviews -- but no last names to be found! Transparency is an asset, so when will the world know?

Aren't these gorgeous!? I always try to have organic and paraben free makeup and these seem to be just right. As usual, no sign of them around here, but maybe on my forthcoming travels I will get lucky. I'll be on the lookout.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty with wholesome ingredients (always a plus:).
DeleteI have puchased quite a few of the lipsticks. I love how they feel on. They are not long lasting and I have to reapply frequently. The colors are ok but I always have to mix several to get color that really works for me. I wish they sold samples. I have a complaint that happened to me during Cyber Week. I had 3 lipsticks in my cart and was deciding whether or not to purchase. I received 2 email saying if I completed my purchase I could get 10% and in the second email 15% off the purchase. That sounded great so I went ahead and added the coupon code and tried to check out. It wouldn't let me apply either code. I contacted their customer service. They replied that since I already had the Cyber Monday savings, the coupons wouldn't apply. I would have been fine with that because that is pretty standard. My problem is that they contacted me twice with the extra savings and there were no restrictions listed. To me, that is false advertising.
ReplyDeleteHi Nilaha, thanks for letting us know!
DeleteI wonder if you've tried Drew Barrymore's Flower brand lipsticks? They are sold at Ultra and many drugstores and places like Walmart. I have been loving all her makeup and have a few of her lipstick colors. Give them a try if you haven't. Beautiful hues and good quality. I find the lipsticks that are moist need reapplying and the ones that stay on for hours dry out your lips. I love nudes and they always need to be applied more often then darker colors like red.
Thanks for your comment! :)
