Hey Beautiful People

Lets look are some lippy ;) I am here to talk to you about the Geek Chic Joystick in Sweet Transvestite. This shade has gone under some re-formulation to make it smoother and extra pigmented. Sweet Transvestite is not drying on the lip as it has moisturizing Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E in its formula, the Joystick is also mint flavoured which I personally find nice =)

 

The overall shape of the joystick isn't ideal for a perfect application in my opinion Sweet Transvestite BEST applied with a lip brush (which I have done in the lip swatches below). If you like Sweet Transvestite you can purchase it on the Geek Chic Cosmetics web store for $5.99 USD.

 

The colour wore fairly well lasting around 3-4 hours the main fading was after eating so I was fairly happy. The biggest down fall for the GCC Joysticks is that they are not a item you can carry around in your pocket as they melt fairly easily.

 

I would repurchase this colour again when it runs out.

Product description

GCC Description - gorgeous blackened, orange leaning burgundy with flashes of fiery orange, copper, and red interferences within the deep red base

My Description - Deep Burgundy with orange/red undertones and flashed of copper

Texture: 9/10
Longevity: 7/10
Application: 4/5
Packaging: 5/5

Final thoughts:  This shade is one of the more 'firm' GCC Joysticks I have tried it applies fairly well out of the tube though for optimum performance a lip brush is recommended. ST is very pigmented and non drying on the lips. This shade WILL stick to any dry/flaky areas on the lips so ensure they are exfoliated and moisturized.

Overall Rating: A

Hey Ya'll

Soooo here we are with a review on Chinovi Cosmetics, Chinovi is a relatively new company to the Indy world however the products and customer service is amazing! Chinovi is Cruelty free and each individual listing states whether the product is Vegan or non-vegan which is very important to some individuals.  I have made several orders all which have arrived to Australia in a timely manner. The colours are very pigmented all blend smoothly 'butter-y' to the feel. Sample Sizes are generous with plenty of product.

When ordering you have 4 options all in USD value ~ Sample bag - $1.00, Clamshell -$1.25, Full Size Jar w/out sifter - $4.75 and Full Size Jar W/ Sifter - $5.00

Sample Bags and Clamshells look to have about 1/4 tsp of product good for quite a few uses. Full Sized jars average around 1.2 g of product.

Each listing has an ingredients list letting you know the basics of each individual listing.

Sample taken from Desert Rain

ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, magnesium stearate, carnauba wax

Final thoughts: Colours very pigmented, smooth to apply sample sizes are good, all items were sent out well within the TAT, and arrived in Australia within around 2-3 weeks. I especially like how each colour has individual ingredients and state whether the colour is vegan and/or lip safe. I will definitely be re-purchasing from Chinovi again.
