Youngblood Cosmetics recently released three new shades: Flirt (coral), Sinful (raspberry red) and Fever (orange red) to their Intimatte Collection. The colors are awesome; super bright and Spring-y, but also extremely wearable.
The Intimatte Lipsticks are matte but aside from Flirt, I found them to be more on the satiny side. For a matte lipstick they’re not super drying which is nice but I didn’t love how they felt on my lips. The feeling reminds me a bit of Wet and Wild’s Megalast lipstick. It feels like it would if you applied wet powder to your lips and then let it dry.. if that makes sense. Applying a lip balm on top makes it feel much better but it changes the consistency up a bit.
The lipstick bullet is pretty stiff which is good because it’s easier to get sharper lines, but it did make them drag a bit before warming up. I’m a huge fan of the colors and the overall wear time was great for a lipstick that does not claim to be long wearing.
From top to bottom: Fever, Sinful, Flirt
FLIRT
Looking at the tube, I thought I would hate Flirt but I actually ended up loving the color. It’s a warmer peach shade that’s not too bright or too neutral (on my skintone which is medium/tan). On fair skin this would pop a lot more, and on deeper skin I can see it being a really pretty natural peach. This color was a little more drying and matte than the other colors so I applied some EOS lipbalm on top which made it feel a lot better on my lips. Flirt lasted about 2.5 to 3 hours without needing a touchup.
FEVER
Fever was my favorite shade out of the three; I’m always drawn to red/orange lipsticks and I like this one because it’s not too orange. It lasted for quite a while without needing a touch up (about 5 hours) but it did wear off while I ate. They don’t claim to be long wearing or rub proof so I don’t fault Youngblood for that at all.
SINFUL
I was surprised when I applied Sinful for the first time because it looks red in the tube, but actually goes on as a muted red/magenta. I don’t have many colors similar to this and I love it. Sinful wasn’t as pigmented as the other two lipsticks and it dragged a little more as well. It took 2 coats in order to make it as bold as I wanted, but this one did feel better on my lips. Sinful lasted about 4 hours without needing a touch up.
Will these be Going in my Kit?
I’ll be adding Sinful to my kit for editorial use because I don’t have any colors similar to it. The other two will be for personal use.
Cruelty Free?
Yes they are cruelty free and these lipsticks are also vegan
Natural and/or Environmentally Friendly?
Youngblood supports the environment. Most of the packaging is made from recyclable materials, and their cartons are produced on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified stock with soy ink. The FSC also certifies the black wooden handles on their brushes. They are also a luxury mineral line so they are not petroleum based.
