Pat McGrath Lip Fetish Astral Lip Balm
Wednesday, November 14, 2018I first saw the Pat McGrath Lip Fetish Astral Lip Balm on Instagram. Of course, the lips didn't look anything like mine, but it was a live video and I thought how could this not look good on me? I am glad I took a chance and picked it up! I picked up the shade Pink Astral in concert with the Mothership V Bronze Ambition Palette a while back, and I've been meaning to do a write-up of it for a while because I use it so much!
My skin type
My lips are dry on their own. I depend on lip balm to keep them moisturized. While this lip balm is pretty glittery, to my surprise, it's also very moisturizing!What it's supposed to do
From the brand: This alluringly addictive clear balm is the captivating covert key to a killer kiss. It repairs, restores and replenishes, keeping the lips sensuously smooth and leaving them with a dewy, opaline finish. Luxuriate in kissably soft lips with this ecstasy-inducing balm.How I use it
Two swipes across both my my lips does it for me, as far as moisture and shade payoff. The balm can be built up to a full-coverage look, or worn sheer for a hint of sparkle. These were meant to sparkle, though, let's be real, so I usually wear it that way!What I like about it
The packaging is just fabulous! The balm comes in a white and gold, heavy casing. On me the lip balm flashes more purple than it does pink, but that doesn't take any joy away from it. I knew right away from the marketing that it wouldn't look the same on me that it did on the lip model, but was curious about it anyway. I love that it's moisturizing, that it can be dressed up or down - I was hesitant on wearing this to work, but it was fine, and how luxurious it makes me feel.What could be better
I am struggling to find something critical about this lip balm. I don't think it would be fair to gripe about the cost - it's a whopping $38.00, as Pat McGrath has seemingly gone above and beyond as far as quality. I bought this as a gift to myself so I'm not going to ruin it by talking about finances lol. I want to look into the sheer balms next!Joy Factor
