3ina Cosmetics is a brand I’ve only tried a handful of times thanks to their fabulous PR send-outs, but it’s always been a brand I’ve been impressed with time and time again. Last month I was sent a few shades from their newly updated 3ina Longwear Lipstick range.
3ina’s Longwear Lipsticks
The 3ina longwear lipsticks have had a revamp: with 16 curated vegan shades in the most beautiful soft-touch packaging and a long-wearing matte formula.
I was a fan of the previous Longwear Lipstick, so it’ll be no surprise where this review is going…
The shades
3ina sent me 8 of the 16 shades available (ordered light to dark)
- 503 – a brown-toned nude and the only nude I was sent, although there are a few in the range
- 226 – a really fun brighter pinky red
- 334 – a more muted, classic pink
- 224 – a deep rose
- 336 – a super fun bright purple shade
- 385 – a slightly darker purple with tinges of red
- 396 – a deep purple berry shade
- 250 – a dark red berry
If you want to see swatches of all the shades in the collection, head over to 3ina’s Instagram where they’ve swatched the whole range on 3 skin tones.
Given its summer and I tend to opt for lighter lip shades, if any at all, I haven’t given the whole selection a try yet. I have however given shade 226 a whirl which I am obsessed with. It’s the perfect bright, funky, fun pink.
The lasting power
In terms of the longwear lasting power, 3ina don’t lie. As they’re matte lipsticks I always find these have far better lasting power, but I can wear one of these for the day, eat, drink, and not really need a top-up of colour. They’ll last the day with no touch-up’s necessary which is why I can see the Longwear Lipstick becoming a firm favourite as we move into the cooler months later in the year.
The packaging
The soft touch packaging of the longwear lipstick is one of my favourites. Sleek, clean and quality, it just tops the product off. For $15, I think you get everything you’d want and need.
So it’s fair to say I’m a fan. Have you tried the Longwear Lipstick yet?
