Review: Zosimos Botanicals Lipstick (updated formula)

Like a great work of art, many cosmetics require iteration to reach their full potential. Sometimes a company listens and incorporates customer comments, reformulating products to create something even better. Zosimos Botanicals is one such company, and they recently reformulated their lipsticks to be even creamier than last time I reviewed them. Read on to see how the new version stacks up.

Pros:

• Creamier formula
• Broad color range
• Eco-friendly refills available
• Sample sizes offered
• Gentle formula with organic ingredients

Review: Zosimos Botanicals Lipstick

Vegan lipsticks can be hard to find, especially in a range of colors including black. Zosimos Botanicals offers a mostly vegan line of lipsticks in pretty hues that uses several organic ingredients.

Pros:

• Uses many organic ingredients
• Available in a variety of shades, including black
• Case can be refilled at a discounted price
• Smooth application
• Rich, consistent colors

Review: Zosimos Botanicals Eyeliner Pencil

Eyeliner pencils are easy to find, but most natural versions contain beeswax. When looking for a vegan eyeliner, I tend to be quite picky. I like a pencil that comes in a range of colors, is not too hard and not too soft, and will last at least eight hours. Zosimos Botanicals makes a great eyeliner pencil that has earned my seal of approval.


Pros:

• Come in a broad range of colors
• Stays on through a workday (about 8-10 hours)
• Simple and safe ingredients
• No beeswax
• Great consistency
• Won't break when sharpening
• Pencil will last through many uses (I sharpened it once a week)
• Comes in a range of colors
