Hi Beauties, I had the lovely pleasure of being at the international launch of Antipodes new, Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks. If you’ve been following the blog for a while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of the Antipodes skincare range, however I haven’t had the opportunity to try their makeup. Their makeup is sold through selected retailers such as David Jones.

Here are some lipsticks swatches of the three Autumn shades. Please note all 12 shades are available in stores x
The moment I swatched Oriental Bay Plum, I thought it was a close dupe to the best selling MAC Rebel. Here’s a swatch of MAC Rebel, you decide. Is it a dupe?
Review Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks
- The lipstick is an interesting, rounded/ oval shape which is suprisingly easy to use
- The colour range is diverse
- The lipsticks are buildable. You can wear them sheer or wear them opaque as I’ve done in the above swatches
- They’re really hydrating on the lips, doesn’t tug when applying
- While they aren’t long lasting, they have a staining effect so they wear really well throughout the day
- No noticeable scent
Overall I’m really impressed with the quality. Personally I’ve found it hard to find good quality natural makeup, so I was pleasantly surprised that these lipsticks were so pigmented.
Fun Fact:
Did you know that over a lifetime, a woman may ingest as much as three kilos of lipstick into her body? Pretty crazy! With that being said I think we all need to be a bit more conscious of the ingredients that are in our beauty products as our skin is our largest living organ.
