If you are a fan of 100% Pure, you probably noticed that they recently released a line of Cocoa Butter Semi-Matte Lipsticks. With eleven shades to choose from, you will love the intense color payoff of these all-natural, super pigmented lippies!
Consistency + Finish
Similar to the buttery, nourishing formulation of 100% Pure's Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil Anti Aging Lipsticks, the new semi-matte lineup is equally divine! Not only are they luxuriously creamy, but they are moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy on the lips. As their name implies, these lipsticks are definitely semi-matte. If you are in the market for a truly matte lip, you will be disappointed by the velvety sheen of these lipsticks. However, their semi-matte finish makes them very comfortable on the lips and the added bit of moisture means that you don't have to worry about them cracking throughout the day. If you were to add some powder on top of one of 100% Pure's Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil Anti Aging Lipsticks, you would be left with a look and feel that is comparable to the new semi-mattes. While they are drier than their pomegranate oil sisters, their longevity is just as amazing!

Application
Because these lipsticks are so buttery, they glide on with ease straight from their bullets! I enjoy using a lip scrub (I like this one from Treat Beauty) to polish my pout prior to applying any lip color so that my lips are smooth, plump, and good to go! I also recommend using a lip liner with all of 100% Pure's lipsticks because they do tend to bleed slightly. My favorite lip pencils are from Jane Iredale and the shade Spice goes perfectly with Pink Canyon from 100% Pure to create a beautiful, earthy, rose pink.

Wrap-Up
These lipsticks are so gorgeous and buttery! Packed with clean, nourishing ingredients, these high-quality semi-mattes are silky, moisturizing, and very comfortable to wear. The consistency of these seriously pigmented lippies is smooth and velvety, yet they feel weightless on the lips. They also last for hours! However, I have to admit that I can't quite justify having "semi-matte" lipsticks in my collection. Any lipstick can be made semi-matte by adding a touch of powder on top; therefore, true satins and true mattes hold more value to me. That doesn't diminish the fact that these lipsticks are amazing, I would just prefer a completely matte finish to accompany 100% Pure's beautiful pomegranate lineup.
