Dose of Colors Lipsticks in Play Date and Love Potion

If you follow me on Instagram (@lilitsblog) then you probably already saw me post some images of these stunning lipsticks from the brand Dose of Colors, which is created by makeup artist Anna (@makeupbyanna). I first came across the brand through Instagram as I saw various makeup artists post looks using the brand's lip glosses. Since I'm not a huge lipgloss lover I wasn't tempted to get them, but when I saw Anna had released lipsticks... well, let's just say I didn't have to think twice before entering my credit card details and pressing Buy.


The shades I bought are Play Date (milky coral) and Love Potion (creamy lilac). Both are very pigmented, apply like a dream, are smooth and creamy and smell of yummy vanilla.





Play Date
Play Date is a milky coral shade that goes on opaque in one swipe. It has a satin finish which means it's not as dry and flat as a matte, but also not as shiny as a gloss. It's definitely my favourite formula.

Love Potion
I adore purple based lipsticks (see my tips on wearing purple lipsticks HERE), but they can be quite tricky to wear so this shade might not be everyone's cup of tea. For me though, it's perfect. The colour is a little bit fluoro, so I'd recommend keeping the rest of the face fairly neutral if wearing this.

The Dose of Colors lipsticks are:
- Vegan
- Cruelty Free
- Gluten Free
- Paraben Free

They cost $16 US and their website ships internationally, yay! I put in my order on 2nd Jan 2014 and received it in my hot little hand on 8th Jan 2014. And that was just the standard shipping as well, not the express.

What do you think of these colours? Are they the type of shades you'd wear?

    1. Oh you're lucky, we can only get them online here. If I could go into a store and swatch them chances are I'd get them all! :)

    1. The glosses are really gorgeous, very pigmented and opaque but I still prefer my lippies :)

  4. These colors are beautiful! However, they remind me of the LimeCrime Lipstick's because of the colors. Are they dupes? Are they close in color with those?

    1. The quality is definite similar to the Lime Crime ones, I'd never thought of it till you mentioned it! I'm not sure of dupes though, I only own Airpborne Unicorn by LC and that one is far too blue toned in comparison to Love Potion which I have here. They're most likely made by the same company though, as the scent is quite similar as well.
