Pucker up with Revolution Organics Freedom Lip Gloss

I have heard so much hype about Revolution Organics All-Over Body Balm and  Freedom Glow Beauty Balm, and while I'm dying to try them, I decided to get their lip gloss.  My addiction to gloss took over!  Fresh Faced was having 25% off over the (Canadian) Thanksgiving long weekend and I couldn't resist picking up a gloss.  These glosses come in 5 beautiful shades, however, I purchased mine in Truth.

Description: This healthy, good-for-you gloss is rich in vitamins and antioxidants to leave lips beautifully moisturized and gorgeously glossy. Formulated with 100 percent natural and 85 percent certified organic ingredients, Freedom Lip Gloss delivers all the benefits of a lip treatment in a gorgeous gloss. The formula is free of chemicals, mineral oil, petroleum, artificial ingredients, and parabens. Vitamin-rich organic jojoba oil nourishes and conditions, organic shea butter hydrates and moisturizes, organic aloe vera and olive oil soothe and soften, and organic beeswax protects skin. Packaged in recyclable, biodegradable, eco-chic material, Freedom Gloss infuses lips with all-natural mineral-based pigments.

Truth is described as a true sheer pink, I agree.  When you apply it to the lips, it gives them a beautiful wash of colour. While the colour is sheer, it's buildable. I like the little cardboard container that it came in, really adds value to the product.  The gloss packaging itself is nothing spectacular, it's a plastic tube like any other gloss but I do really enjoy the black cap with the name of the company on it.  It's simple, yet chic.  The smell of the gloss is tolerable.  It smells weird, almost like construction paper or paint with less chemicals.  I honestly don't know where I got that from, but there you have it lol.  It doesn't taste like it if that makes it any better.  It's not sticky but manages to last on the lips, whether wearing it alone or over something else, for a couple of hours.  My lips are drier than usual so I think they soak up the goodness of this gloss rather quickly.  It is very hydrating and feels divine on the lips.  I absolutely love this gloss and would recommend and repurchase.  I'd love to try a few other colours as well as the Beauty Balm!

Retails for approx. $29 CAN and can be purchased through Fresh Faced.  For more info. check out Revolution Organics.

Notice the dry lips?

I didn't exfoliate before applying the gloss.  Look how hydrated they are!!

  1. Looks very pretty on the tube!! Although it's pretty sheer when applied isn't it?

    1. Yes, it's pretty sheer when applied but you can build it a little or layer to get a more intense colour payoff.
