Elemental Coloration Lipstick in Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossom, with its warm, pink tones, is our best-selling shade and the one we most reach for in spring and summer, when we can once again wander through the Tangled Garden in Wolfville, surrounded by walls of flowers. For a radiant look that echoes the first blooms and verdant greens of spring, we love to combine Cherry Blossom lipstick with Terra Cotta Rose blush and Moss Agate shadow, as modelled here by Maya.

Ingredients: Ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, theobroma cacao (cocoa) butter, candelilla cera (plant wax), saccharum officinarum (sugar), limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, sambucus nigra (elderberry) fruit extract ± mica, iron oxides, tin oxide, titanium dioxide

Store in a cool, dry place—the oils, waxes and butters that make lipsticks creamy and moisturising also make them sensitive to temperature changes. Lipsticks, like chocolate, will melt if they're left in a car on a hot, sunny day. As well, rapid heating and cooling can lead to wax bloom on lipsticks, a harmless white film much like the fat bloom that appears on chocolate when oil creates re-crystallization of cocoa butter triglycerides. Wax bloom can be removed gently with a cotton swab or tissue.
