About Vitality Lip Flush:

Vitality Lip Flush 4-in-1 Natural Anti-Aging Lipstick Stains take the place of four products; your lipstick, anti-aging conditioning lip balm, ultra-hydrating lip gloss, and lip stain all in one! This truly innovative, yet all natural formula contains IT Cosmetics Hydra-Luxe Technology includes ingredients such as plum oil, cherry oil, shea butter, aloe and jojoba that all work together to treat, hydrate, condition, and nourish your lips, minimizing the appearance of lip lines and wrinkles.  Plus Vitality Lip Flush is packed with anti-aging anti-oxidants including Vitamins A, C, E, Acai, Green Tea and White Tea to protect and ward off free-radicals all day long. Talc, paraben, sulfate, mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic fragrance, and phthalate free. Hypo-allergenic and non-comedogenic.

Packaging:

This 4 in 1 reviver lip stain comes in classy metallic silver bullet packing with retractable base. Let me tell you it’s smell is not for me. I just dislike the smell, but other than that, full marks for its metallic, smart, and travel-friendly packing. It cosmetics reviver lip stains are available in 4 different shades – Damsel, Love Story, Pretty Woman, and Je ne sais quoi which looks brown or milky in the bullet, but surprisingly, they all turn out to be baby pink or deep pink shades on lips respectively.  I picked “Love Story” from this range because the other 3 shades are either too light or too dark for my taste.

My Experience with It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush 4 in 1 Reviver – Love Story:

Didn’t I tell you its name is totally awesome “Love Story,” and the shade is equally cute – a deep pink brownish shade with cream glossy finish.  However, it looks totally opposite in the bullet – a deep brown lip stain that I would have never picked up unless for swatching on the lips or hands.  Looks are really deceiving some times! This hot shade is an all-time favorite of everyone, isn’t it? It will compliment almost every fair/medium beauty of any age group, preferably young women in their 20s-30s as per my observation.

Coming over to the texture, it is really creamy and slathers like melted butter; however, it cannot beat our regular lip balms to be honest. I should clear that this particular reviver claims to serve 4 purposes, i.e., healing lips like a balm, sheer to full color payoff like a lip color, glossy shine like a gloss and ultimately leaving behind a deep stain after fading away from lips.  So, out of all four concerns, I guess it more or less serves 3 concerns well, but since nowadays, we do see a lot more stuff from Maybelline and L’Oreal, which also work similar to this reviver hence I do not think its unbeatable or a winner product.  I do love its color payoff, which gives a sheer glossy tint in one swipe and full creamy coverage in hardly 2-3 swipes without feathering or settling in fine lines.  I must say it is multidimensional in terms of pigmentation, for I can use it as a light pinkish brown lip tint during day time in just one swipe and if I need to wear it at night, all I need is to layer it on and voila, I am ready with deep pink brown pigmented glossy lips, but I miss my balm beneath this lip stain as it tends to fade after 6-8 hours and leaves a stubborn pink stain which does not comes off without makeup remover.

The good aspect is its glossy juicy finishing, which remains as such for 4-5 hours with light snacks and water sips thereby tending to give a creamy lip color finish and finally leaving behind a stubborn pink stain which stays 6-8 hours in general. However, with traditional Indian dinners, its glossy and deep pigmented finish comes off easily in just one wash or a swipe of paper napkin leaving behind a pink stain which looks fine though, but I need touch ups any way for it does not cover patches of my lips 😛 Needless to say, it has a pretty long lasting power with glossy juicy shine and amazing pigmentation which is highly flexible and best feature for me. However, it works best on non-pigmented soft lips.

I noticed that as long as this reviver stays on my lips, I do not feel any irritation and even if it comes off after several hours, I do not feel any kind of dryness or chapped lips for another couple of hours provided my lips are well scrubbed and in good condition. I have noticed that it also works fine on dry, scaly lips with non feathering and opaque finishing.  It does not accentuate/irritate chapped skin or treat them.  I may say that it smooths and works on fine lines for my lips do feel youthful for a few hours after it comes off; however, I am clueless over its claim to diminish wrinkles. Overall, I see that it is great for messy mums like me because it saves my time and more or less serves all concerns provided my lips are in good condition, but considering its limited choice and now we have many alternatives from L’Oreal Extraordinaire and Maybelline lip polishes which are more or less on par with this lip reviver, I may skip it.

I would recommend it to all gals who look for an alternative for creamy lipstick/gloss and who are more into lipstick-stain phase because I am in a gloss phase these days, hence I personally prefer L’Oreal and Maybelline innovations, which are slightly cheaper and more glossy in finish.

  • It claims to contain plum oil, cherry oil, jojoba, shea and aloe which work together to treat, heal, condition and minimize appearance of fine lines and wrinkles which seems true up to some extent.
  • It is also packed with anti-ageing anti-oxidants such as vitamin A, C and E apart from white tea, green tea and acai extract to ward off and protect against free radicals.

Cons of It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush 4 in 1 Reviver – Love Story:

  • It may not treat chapped, scaly lips, hence it would not replace the traditional lip balms.
  • It is not 100% natural.
  • The finish is creamy and juicy, hence gloss loving beauties may feel slightly disappointing.
  • It has a weird smell, which I cannot tolerate.
  • It works well as a lip color-gloss on pigmented lips; however, once it comes off, we do need reapplication.
  • Limited shade choice as of now.
  • It may not beat L’Oreal or Maybelline’s innovative formulas which work more or less in a similar way and are slightly cheaper and also have a variety of shades available.  Also, give a glossy finish.
  • I must say I am more into glosses, hence it is not my oh-so favorite right now.  Moreover, it is only available in pink shades (rest of the shades are also pink more or less) and we need a variety in our lipsticks, hence I feel I may not choose other options though it is a pretty good deal for me. Once I settle down with my gloss love, I am definitely using it more often for sure. In short, it is pretty good stuff depending upon your choice.
