My Experience with Black Radiance #5004 Purple Passion Perfect Tone Lip Color:
Packaging:
The packaging is not so impressive and looks very cheap . It has golden color tube with twist up bullet into it with transparent color cap that shuts tight. The bullet has BR engraved onto it, a feature that is found in most of the mid or high end brands. The bullet doesn’t twist down completely and every time a lot of care has to be taken to put the cap or the bullet can get damaged.
Texture:
The texture is like a butter that glides like a dream on my lips. It has glossy finish and doesn’t settle into matte. It does not tug on lip during application and due to its creamy, smooth texture, it doesn’t dry out the lips either.
Pigmentation:
These lippies are crazily pigmented! This range reminds me of Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil. All you need is just a one swipe on your lips.
Longevity:
It is quite depressing for me to share that it is not a long wearing lipstick. It last for about 3 hours without eating and drinking and once I took my meal it completely vanished. But, it does leave a prominent stain that lasts for about 4 hours after fading off the lip color.
Purple Passion is a purple pink shade which suits every skin tones. As Black Radiance is the brand for “Women of Colors”, it does have an array of shades to choose from that is meant for every skin tone. As this lippie is very creamy and moisturising, it does transfer a lot; it needs to be blotted so that there is minimal transfer. It does not bleed out of the lips and also does not accentuate lines. Unfortunately, my lippie got damaged due to international shipment.

That’s such a beautiful color Neha, one of my favs when it comes to bright lip colors. But I don’t like lipsticks that transfer onto everything. Packaging could also have been better. :/
