Colour Theory Pouty Pink & Flirt Alert Lipstick Reviews

Today I am going to be reviewing Colour Theory's lipsticks in the shades 'Flirt Alert' and 'Pouty Pink'. 'Pouty Pink' is a gorgeous bright pink berry colour. 'Flirt Alert' is a tomato red. 

The packaging of these lipsticks is great. The plastic tubes are thick and feel really sturdy. The lids click on firmly with no possibility of them coming lose when they are in the bottom of your handbag. I like how the tubes are completely clear so you can see the the mechanism and (obviously) the colour of the lipstick clearly.

On application 'Pouty Pink' feels really creamy and moisturising but not heavy. I have had pretty dry and chapped lips lately but this lipstick didn't dry my lips out or emphasise my flaky lips. If are afraid of a bold lip (like me) you can wear 'Pouty Pink' sheer by just swiping it over your lips. But if you want that bright berry lip you can get it easily as it is a very opaque and buildable lipstick. After two hours this still looks perfect on my lips and after three hours I was left with a stain on my lips (after eating and drinking). You could easily apply a clear gloss or balm over this after three hours to turn the stain into a glossy look. The lasting power of this lipstick is simply AMAZING!!! 

'Flirt Alert' is a very vivid matte tomato red. If you love a bold lip you will love this red. It feels different on the lips when compared to 'Pouty Pink' - slightly heavier and less creamy. After an hour the colour is still pretty vibrant. It's only when you are getting close to the 2 hour mark that you notice it starting to look visibly less vibrant. 

Both of these lipsticks are very opaque and have great lasting power. Out of the two lipsticks I personally prefer 'Pouty Pink' as it is a colour I can wear relatively sheer (I'm scared of bold lips) and the formula feels amazing on the lips but if you love a bold lip, or are thinking about trying out a bold lip, you might want to check out 'Flirt Alert' as Colour Theory lipsticks are only $6! Bargain :)

Colour Theory Flamingo Nail Polish - Review

Colour Theory's 'Flamingo'* nail polish is a stunning coral colour with pink (rather than orange) undertones.

With a creamy formula this is a very opaque polish, I used two coats however you could get away with one thick coat. It has a great formula, which is lovely and thick (without being difficult to work with) and dries to a high shine. It's a very bright polish that is nearly neon.Drying time was good despite the fact that I used thick coats. It was easy to apply however the brush is narrower and shorter than most other polishes so you do need to do a couple of strokes to distribute the polish evenly across your nail. You might assume that this means the polish is streaky but it isn't! I didn't see any sign of streaks and I'm definitely not the most careful person when it comes to nail polish. In regards to longevity this polish did really well, lasting around 3 days before I saw signs of wear (with a top coat). Even then, it was just a bit of wear at the tips and nothing drastic. It's worth noting that I don't look after my nails and I am very rough on my hands so I usually only get around 3 days of perfect wear with any nail polish.

My overall impression of this polish is that it is a really pretty colour, with a great formula (dries quickly and to a high-shine), lasts well and doesn't feel like a cheap polish despite only costing $4. The narrower and shorter brush could take some people a little while to get use to but nonetheless it applies easily. I can definitely see myself buying more Colour Theory nail polishes.

Made in Australia, Formaldehyde free and at the amazing price of $4 you can buy Colour Theory nail polishes at Amcal, Amcal Max and Guardian Pharmacies and online from Amcal and Guardian Pharmacies.
