Gabriel Cosmetics Lipstick (Wild Orchid - Pink Rose/Gold Pearl)

I’ve been a longtime user of their competitor’s product (real purity) which I also like but they seemed to have changed their passion color which I was using, so I tried Gabriel.Pros of Gabriel: the color lasted a lot longer, held up after blotting and eating, and so far at least hasn’t been as mushy as Real purity (whose lipsticks sometimes break off the base.) Also, I like the color options better than the current palette of real purity offerings which seem to be catering to ‘cottage core punk’ or purple haired types. I just want understated roses and pinks for a not overly made up look (and the occasional redder color for the Christmas holiday) and found three understated roses/pink colors in Gabriel.Cons of Gabriel: possibly not as ‘clean’ as real purity (but still better than most lipsticks), and after buying three, sometimes the colors aren’t exactly as expected from the marketing, but once I figure them out it’ll be ok for repeat buying the ones that actually look best. I had the same problem with real purity when I first tried them, but to my knowledge Gabriel doesn’t have cheap samples to try before investing in the actual lipstick tube. Of the three tubes I bought, I can live with Gabriel’s colors that I liked less as they’re still be good for various occasions (one is a little too bright pink but for the spring it will be fine).Real purity has to be used within a couple years or they kind of ‘go off’ as maybe the natural oils in them go rancid just like a food product, which is how pure they are. If it hadn’t been that they changed the color I mainly used (and many of the others on offer are too garish looking for me like bright lavender) I probably wouldn’t have tried Gabriel because I’m a creature of habit. I haven’t had Gabriel lipsticks that long, but I do like the colors and the performance for those occasions when I do wear lipstick. If I have to update I will in the future, but right now I think Gabriel is pretty great.

Wild orchid is a beautiful color. The lipstick is very moist and does not smudge. Very satisfied with the color. I hope they make more frosted colored lipsticks.

Excellent. Good colour. Nice tube. All was excellent

Great coverage that lasts, no overwhelming perfumes which I love. Only negative comment is that there aren't enough color choices- I have a difficult time finding colors that match my skin tone.

Average. The color is nice going on and creamy. BUT the color isn't like the pic, its PINK not berry. I expected to receive a color of mixed berries, maybe with a hint of red/purple like berries. I didn't want pink.

Gabriel and Zuzu are by far the best brands. Clean, beautiful, and I can feel good about putting non-toxic ingredients on my body and in the environment.

I have been happily buying Gabriel foundation for many years. So when I couldn’t find the color and quality lipstick I was searching for, it hit me to try Gabriel. I am not disappointed. I love this color and it has staying power. Sometimes I add a little lighter colored gloss over it for a little variation. Overall I think this one will be my new staple!

Awful. Color "Dune" nothing like pictured, but I could have worked with that. I was recommended this brand for hypoallergenic reasons - I won't wear lipstick before I use this. Disgusting taste and texture. Right into the garbage. Also not sure why a new bar code label (that my allergy program did not recommend) was placed over the original bar code on the package.
