All The Rave: ILIA Beauty Lip Products

If you are considering to gradually switch to natural, green, and clean makeup, then lipstick is one of the first few things you may want to start with. According to recent study, many toxic chemicals that lead to cancer are found in a tube of lipstick; including lead, cadmium, chromium, aluminum, and five others. And if you're lost in translation, they are basically toxic ingredients that can cause brain and nervous system damage, and they are also suspected carcinogens! The daily ingestion of lipstick on average for women is around 24-87 miligrams of lipstick, which is really scary as it goes straight into the bloodstream..

ILIA Beauty is one of the first few brands I purchased when I decided to make the switch to natural/organic makeup. I was first drawn to their sleek, contemporary packaging that is absolutely stunning! The company philosophy is amazing, they are gluten-free, dairy-free, USDA certified organic, and of course cruelty-free (we don't want cute little animals to suffer, right?). All of their lip products are packaged in a recycled aluminum, and they are produced with amazing organic ingredients only to nourish and rejuvenate your skin. Now THAT, is conscious beauty my friends :-)

I have collected a few of their products and I honestly love them! There are still a lot I don't own in my collection, but I will slowly build them up for sure.

ILIA Beauty Lipstick and Lip Conditioner

ILIA Beauty Lipstick Crayon

Swatches

Lipstick

A moisturizing and rich formula that has an amazing color payoff. These lipsticks have a sheen finish that gives a subtle shine, and it is not drying at all. Though it may not stay on my lips for as long as I hoped, I really like the formulation. Their lipstick will be the first thing I recommend people if they want to get something from ILIA, as I imagine nobody will hate it.

• In My Room

A medium pink color with warm undertones. For me, this is the 'my lips but better' kind of color, and I often reach for this one when I don't know what color to use on my lips, because it's a very versatile color that works on many different looks. A staple in every girl's lipstick collection.

• Wild Child

Very vibrant red with orange undertones to it, it's beautiful but I prefer reds with blue undertones (on me, personally). I still love this shade nonetheless, and even though I prefer blue undertones, I found that this is my go to red-shade ever since I got it.

• Femme Fatale

My personal favorite probably out of all the red lipsticks I've tried so far. It's a deep burgundy red with the right amount of berry undertones to it (looks darker than pictured above). I never would have figured myself loving this kind of color, but somehow the formulation just works because it's a sheer deep color that is opaque at the same time. (I know that's a contradictive statement but there is no other way to explain it! haha). Bottom line: top recommendation!

Tinted Lip Conditioner

For girls (and guys) who wants a sheer color with the property of a lip balm, their lip conditioners have very buildable color, and are even more moisturizing on the lips than the lipstick. Though I prefer the lipstick, this is the perfect formula if you are just starting with makeup, or maybe want to buy something for daily use.

• Nobody's Baby

A true nude color with brown undertones that is perfect paired with smokey eyes, or even for daily use. I don't reach for this one as often but it's still a beautiful color nonetheless.

• Shell Shock

Coral pink! On me this is a light pinky shade with a tinge of pop. Perfect for the holiday season.

• Dizzy

I got this on a whim because I saw how beautiful it looked on Lily from Genuineglow, but I don't think this kind of color suits me. It's a pale orange color that's very beautiful on its own, but I love layering this with In My Room.

Lip Crayons

My favorite out of their whole lip products line.. I love the formula, the color payoff, everything! they're really easy to work with as they come in a stick form so I don't have to worry about being neat to apply them. I do my make up in a hurry 80% of the time so it's really handy to have them in my purse. Just slather it on the lips and you're good to go. So easy!

• Dress You Up

My favorite go-to lip product. It's a pinky mauve that is similar with the Kylie Jenner lip trend (that everyone was obsessed about). Beautiful color that will suit many skin tones.

• Iko Iko

A warm shimmery brown. I was skeptical toward this one at first, but I found myself loving it so much because it's a very warm, almost a terracotta color that is beautiful on its own, and layered with other colors.
