| This fantastic lipstick shade is housed in a craptastic case - hence some butterfly tape because the black from the casing was getting on my hands (I had coconut oil on my hands when I was handling this and it broke down the plastic! |
I took this in natural light. The tape actually makes the case look cute!
Sorry for the graininess! Half my lip (left side) has In the Flesh applied. The other half (right) is my natural lip. I always have to apply some Carmex or Chapstick underneath as this is a semi-matte formula. Not much different than my own lip color, but gives it a lift - and looks fuller, no? (I need to retake this picture later!)
So got my hands on In the Flesh by WnW finally! Sooooooo hard to find. I had to hunt it down in two states. I read about it when I was visiting Denver. None of the Walgreens or Rite Aids had them there. Came back to Boston, and located it in a Stop and Shop Supermarket (they actually had the most shades stocked and didn't look picked through because no one thinks to buy cosmetics while picking up some cereal, right?!)
This was $1.99 and worth the price and then some. Minus the packaging which totally blows, the color and formula are so amazing. I asked the fiance what he thought of this lipstick shade. "Huh? You're wearing lipstick? I thought that was just your natural lip color. Just your natural full lips..." So yes, it looks very natural. I love it. For mornings when I don't have a clue what I want to wear on my face and need something to look like I tried at life that day.... and this goes with everything. Just enough enhancement to look polished - my lips but better (MLBB). Don't forget to apply some lip balm underneath, these can be drying. I own 7 shades and I love them all so much! It just depends on my mood!
The butterfly tape was applied because I had some coconut oil on my hands (I use as a natural moisturizer sometimes... a lot lately actually!) and it broke down the black plastic casing. I was thinking, 'What the eff is this black sooty stuff on my palms and fingers???? THE HELL?!' Usually when I see this I will chuck the product. Not with this gem. I think the formula is that amazeballs that I went the extra mile to make it work! I would have depotting it, but I have no depotting cases. This was the simplest solution for me. This didn't happen to any of my other Megalast lipstick cases because coconut oil didn't get on those. In a way it's a good thing. It's easier to spot amongst all my lipsticks!
Highly recommend this shade if you want a natural lip look and should flatter a good majority of complexions. It's that not quite brown, pink, red, or orange - a good neutral mix of them all. It's what I wanted Clinique's Tenderheart to be... only that ended up looking too brown. Great formula just not a good shade on me. And they test on animals. And it's 15 dollars! WnW is über cheap and cruelty free! It's worth more than the couple bucks I spent. I can appreciate a company that makes beauty products accessible to all women:)
