Are these matte?

Most all of them, if not all are discribed as 'not too shiney and not too matte'

@SeaGalThank you for the heads-up on the coupon! I am interested in hearing if you like the lipsticks. I agree with you - the fact that the lippies are attached to good social causes make them a complete joy to buy. It's fun!
Hope you enjoy them.

Hi @MarnieRez3, So I wore the lip color around here last night, the color was just what I wanted and lasted a good long time. Slightly, and I mean slightly on the dryer side but did not dry my lips out when worn off.

I would by another color if I could get another coupon!

eta~ I wanted to add, I was a smokers for too many years and now closing in on 60 I am noticing some fine lines above top lip. I am having a hard time finding a lipstick that doesnt feather and found this formula did not. That and the color is what satisfies me. Thinking since it is a slightly drier lipstick may be the reason for no feathering.

I was a little disappointed in the 2 tubes I ordered. They're not bad, but not nearly as moist as I thought they'd be. I ordered Sunset which is a coral shade, but it's fairly light on me. Also, Wildflower and it's a very light shade of brownish-peach. I'm glad I tried them, but I'll stick with my Revlon when I need lipstick.

@jannabelle1 Hi jannabelle! I got the Wildflower too and didnt detect any brownish to it. Mine is just a really pretty pinkish peach as was discribed in the listing. Very pretty color.

Did you read Courttv is coming back soon? I dont know much more than this, cant wait!!

Thank you lovely @SeaGal for the update!

They do have a lot of deals on multi-packs and from time to time I get emails with coupons in them.

They are a little drying; I noticed that about three weeks after I started wearing them regularly. (However, all lipsticks dry out my lips because, well, I have very dry lips 24/7.) The colors look lighter on me than they appear online, but overall, I have been happy with them.

Hi @MarnieRez3, you are surely welcome!

I wore my new Wildflowers out and about today and felt so pretty!

Someone on the board the other day mentioned Maybellines Master Glaze lip scrub stick so I bought one tonight on Amazon, looks interesting. Sorry I cant post a pic for you.

Thanks for the heads up on the CTW coupons, mailing list, I will sign up. I might like another color or two or 3 haha! Take Care

The reviews on Makeupalley are terrible; plus, the company does not accept returns.

I would suggest another cruelty-free lipstick brand called Red Apple Lipstick. Their CS is excellent, and they have a six-month return policy. You can create your own bundle and save money.

I have several of their lipsticks and like them all.

ETA: My apologies to the OP. I hope that no offense is taken. :-)

6 month return policy? that's unheard of.

I know; right? @kittyloo . And their lipsticks are excellent. They always have deals as well a points/rewards.

@SeaGal

Oh I love to hear you felt pretty! Nothing like a new lippy to give us a lift!

You take great care, too, my dear.

I recently discovered Color the World Lipsticks and planned on starting a thread here. Because I didn't want to step on any toes I checked to see if this product had already been posted and sure enough here it is, started by sunala, who incidentally has been posting along with me for a long time. (me since 2007)

I became very tempted and after reading all of the reviews here I am hesitant. As I see it, this lipstick is too expensive to make mistakes. Coral is about the only color out of all of them that would work for me so I am going to wait. I will check out the Red Apple Lipstick another poster recommended. Anyway, I enjoyed all of the posts and am happy for those of you who love your new lipstick.

Update...just checked RedApple Lipstick, way too expensive, $23 for a lipstick? Not in my world.

Got them, love them!
I saw your post a while back and finally got around to ordering a three-pack. The colors are light, nude-based and sooo creamy. They are not too heavily-pigmented which I like, as dark lipsticks at my age make me look like Heath Ledger in Batman.
I got Dreamer, Glamberry and Empowered. I also adore the cardboard tube packaging.
Lo and behold, I was at CVS with my daughter yesterday and ALMAY has a new line of lipsticks in CARDBOARD tubes. Color the World may have started a new trend...
Thank you for recommending these lipsticks, fellow lipstick addict!
Did you notice the three-packs are the best value, especially when they have their 20 percent discount up?

hi @MarnieRez3 - yes I did notice the bundles of 2 or 3. The prices were better than buying them in singles plus the 20% discount. I can't say I love all the shades, but it's rare I find one I absolutely love. The last lipstick that was my all-time favorite was Joan Rivers Peony. I have almost one whole tube left and a few crumbs in a few other tubes. As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect shade!
