Osmia Organics Lip Glosses Give Dry Lips a Beet-Down

March 19th, 2014 by Karen 14 Comments

Osmia Organics Lip Glosses
Osmia Organics $18 Lip Glosses are powered by beets!

Osmia Organics’ Lip Glosses beet up dryness somethin’ fierce! They’re veggie-rific!

OK…sorry, that was just terrible. I’m not 100% awake yet. 🙂

At any rate, these lightweight, non-sticky lip glosses by Osmia Organics ($18 each), a boutique organic bath and beauty line based in Colorado, are more like balms than glosses, really.

They represent my maiden voyage trying the brand, and I see that they also make all kinds of neat-looking soaps and body products.

The glosses contain beets! Isn’t that cool? Presumably it’s for color, but I’m not totally sure.

I am weirdly stoked about the whole idea (because you know me and root vegetables — we’re tight like that).

Osmia Organics Lip Glosses
Shimmer (an orange), Whisper (pink) and Luster (a red)

As someone whose lips are almost always hella dry, I’m always on the market for a new vegetable…

Wait — I meant “new moisturizing gloss.” And my lips have been a little less uncomfortable since Shimmer, Whisper and Luster entered my life.

Some thoughts on the three Lip Gloss shades from the perspective of a perpetually dry-lipped girl…

    Osmia Organics

  • Moisture — Off the hook! The hydrating ingredient-ology includes Cupuaçu butter (related to cacao), and GMO-free vitamin E oil, both of which are high on the ingredient list.
  • Finish and coverage — All of them are quite sheer. I can’t deny that I was hoping the colors would be more intense, and distinct from each other, but all three of them look more or less the same on my pigmented lips.
  • Flavor and scent — Hmm… Waxy and earthy? I can’t say it’s my favorite scent, but it does seem natural, I guess.
  • Formula and texture — Utterly adverbially excessively great. Just lots of “ly” words to the extreme. 🙂 They feel light, slick, non-sticky and smooth on my lips, but that lightness of the formula may also be why they don’t last very long. I get less than an hour of wear time from them and have to reapply often.

I don’t feel the need to carry all three of them with me wherever I go, since they are quite sheer and do look similar on my pigmented lips, but I like the moisturizing formula enough to roll with at least one tube in my purse.

If your thirsty lips do like organic beauty products and don’t mind a limited wear time, they’re a good option.

PRICE: $18 for a 0.04-ounce tube

Crazy cat lady SALE ALERT!

Do you remember the red and blue cat dress I drooled over at Anthropologie a while back?

Peter Som for Anthropologie Cat Dress
Love this dress!

It’s on sale right now!

If you’re interested, it’s marked down to $119 from $198. Unfortunately, I’m no longer seeing it online, but it might be at your local Anthro. I saw a few of them left on the rack the last time I visited the store in Corte Madera.

Cat lady fashion 4 life!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Happy hump day. 🙂

    These look so cool! Beets, that’s awesome. I’m glad they aren’t sticky. But I also with they packed a pigment punch. Oh well.

    Ahh! It makes me so happy to see Osmia on MABB, Karen — I love their lineup alllllmost as much as I love cats. (Okay, not nearly as much, but I love cats a LOT.) Their Lip Repair and fragrances are seriously top-notch. 😀

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
