In addition to Lisa Eldridge's Summer Pink Lipsticks, Linda Hallberg's Fantastick II Lipsticks were in heavy rotation this Summer.
Although I own the original five Fantastick Lipstick shades, I'm going to work backwards, and post the five most recent shades first.
I found the colors and pattern of exterior packaging of the second release extremely appealing.
The Fantastick lipsticks are a multi-use product that can be used on the lips and cheeks. Also, they're vegan, cruelty-free, and contain SPF15.
From left to right: Cultured, I Die, Extra, Famous, Pop.
I Die: a slightly reddened-coral.
Extra: transparent with pink and champagne glitter.
Famous: a cool toned nougat-brown.
Pop: a cool toned fuchsia.
At first, I wasn't going to get Extra, as I'm not really into glittery transparent lip products. However, the bundle amount dropped from $115 to $100, and the cost of 4 Fantasticks was $92. So, in order to qualify for the free worldwide shipping of orders over $100, I parted with the $8 difference.
Reminiscent of the M.A.C Sheen Supreme Lipsticks (remember those?) in both appearance and formula, I found the Fantasticks to have a creamier consistency. I really enjoy the performance, and wear of the Fantasticks; they're pigmented, yet have enough translucency in their glossy finish to give the lips a succulent pout. The only thing I don't like is the diagonal, circulair shape of the lipsticks. I found it difficult, and rather tedious, to apply along the lip line. But, hey, that's what lip brushes are for.
Of theses five shades, my favorites were cultured and famous. I'll definitely be caring them over into Autumn.
