Honest BeautyHydrating Liquid Lipstick with Hyaluronic Acid + Avocado Oil | EWG Verified, Vegan + Cruelty Free | Happiness, .12 fl oz

I’m new to lipstick generally. Never been my thing. Couldn’t bare spending full price on the honest website knowing how I’ve always struggled with lip colors. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Passion was by far my favorite color. Gorgeous dusty rose with a slight orangey undertone. I’m tan with a neutral/warm undertone so it works for me. It’s still a bit of color for me but could be worn day or night. Fearless is a very pretty dark berry or plum color but I wouldn’t wear it unless I was going out and dressed for the occasion. Forever is a pretty lighter mauve, with a clear purple undertone. It is very close to my natural lip color, so much so that it’s almost pointless to wear for me but still pretty and I’ll wear it occasionally I’m sure. It would be nicer on someone with less tan skin. Off duty was too light for my skin and lips. I’m not into bright pinks and that’s how it appears on me. I look like a 12 year old with pink bubble gum color lips. However, it’s a gorgeous color on its own and would nice on other skin shades, especially lighter ones. Also, it is nice blended into the darker shades I described above to give depth to the lip color. Overall, I’m happy with all of them. They are a bit sticky on the lips but have better longevity than the Honest lip crayons, which I love actually but they simply don’t last. Overall, recommend. I only do cleaner beauty brands and so far, although I’m just getting more into makeup now at almost 40, I have loved everything from Honest.

I like their balms so thought I'd try the liquid lipstick in the color Off Duty. First thing, the color does not lean pink like it does in the picture. It leans more peach. I could get passed that with a lip liner or top gloss. What I can't get over is the smell. It's horrible. It smells old, musty, moldy. I can't explain but it just stinks. Earthy smell even. It's not worth the money to return so not taking the time. I still really enjoy their balms and cream blush but this is a no go for me.

I got this in Forever. I love the color. It’s a beautiful mid-tone, cool pink. Cool pink lip colors are not easy to find right now. So many pinks just go orange or muddyq on me. This one doesn’t. It looks like the color on the model in the picture. Don’t go by the arm swatches. It’s fairly matte. Not drying but not moisturizing. I can tell I have it on, but it doesn’t feel sticky. I use a clear balm over it if I want more moisture or a glossier finish. Good last. I didn’t experience much of any scent or taste, which is fine with me. I’m very happy to find a pink that works for me. Really pretty.

2ND UPDATE: Clearly I like this lipstick enough to buy it 3 times. “Passion” is the perfect rose neutral shade. GREAT TIP: for those used to a more traditional liquid lipstick formulation: apply, blot your lips with tissue gently, and set with a talc-free translucent powder and fluffy makeup brush (I use Covergirl Clean) and this lipstick will feel just as light and last just as long (even though food and drink) as what you’re used to.UPDATE: I purchased the shade “Love” even though I didn’t love “Happiness” as it’s quite challenging to find nontoxic liquid lipsticks - I’m glad I did because the formula looks great in this cool, deep red (not *too* bright like “Happiness”). If you prefer a more matte, long lasting finish, just press some translucent powder onto your lips with a dense brush after application and you’re set!PREVIOUS REVIEW:I bought this lipstick in the shade “Happiness” because in some review photos it seemed more neutral, however this is a very bright, cool pink - it looks more like a regular lipstick than a liquid lipstick when applied, and I do agree with some of the comments saying it smells like waxy play makeup. I think it could look nice with a deeper lip liner, however I can’t wear this lipstick on its own. HOWEVER, this wears nicely as a liquid blush and I’m so glad Honest is providing clean options - if I find a clean liquid lipstick I like better, I will try to update this review.

The color is nice. It stays on for about 2-4 hours if I don't drink or eat. The only thing I don't like is that it smells like castor oil (since it's one of the ingredients) but also it isn't very hydrating for the lips which is a bit strange since it's oil-based. It's very matt and dry. I would recommend applying a layer of gloss or colorless lip balm on top

I love this hydrating lipstick! Its a beautiful rich formula that actually stays on a lot longer than expected since hydrating lipstick usually doesn't stay on long enough for me. It's not sticky at all. This lasts throughout the day but does loose the shine a few hours in but stays with the tint. It comes offf easily with gentle makeup remover or just water. I love everything about it besides that for me personally the color is tad too dark I wish it had little more pink in it, it's but too deep for me since I'm light skinned and can't wear this without makeup. I didn't see anything from this company that's a pretty Barbie pink, if anyone does see one please let me know!!!

I wish I read the reviews before buying this, but thankfully it was cheap. It's virtually impossible to find lipstick (not tinted lip balm) that isn't full of carcinogenic color enhancers, synthetic dyes, or harmful preservatives so I looked up what's best on EWG and this was near the top. Decided to try out Off Duty, and while it still has some of those in there I figured maybe it's in very miniscule amounts, but now imo it seems to be verified because of the fact the package has a warning label. I wanted to like this but was disappointed. I really liked the color so I bit the bullet for a couple of days but the smell is very pungent and doesn't smell 'natural', expired product or not (if it is expired, it shouldn't be sold anyway). When I drank water it transferred and I could taste it which was really bad. I do not recommend getting this, Honest should change the formula or stop selling this product. The color was nice but everything else wasn't.

Product smelled rancid, old. Do not buy past itsprime and is not refundable! Wasted my money
