Day 16 of the 30 lipsticks in 30 days project features a mineral lip product I own. Its a lipgloss by Monave that comes in a pot but its so pigmented, I prefer to call it a lipstick instead.
Monave Mineral Lipgloss – Silk Garnet
This is my first and only mineral lip product so I have nothing to compare it with. Although it says its a lipgloss, its so pigmented it might very well be a lipstick.
The colour Silk Garnet is a berry pink colour – more berry than pink. It goes on my lips pretty much my lips but better, adding colour and some shine. It is very pigmented and stays a long time so I hardly ever have to touch up.
That’s good, but that is also bad because how on earth am I ever going to finish this? It comes in a tub and I use a lip brush to apply it.
I reckon you could use your finger to apply the gloss but because its quite pigmented I’d prefer not to. This makes it less portable and I have a bad habit when it comes to lipsticks in tubs – I tend to lose them. In fact, I’d lost this one just before starting this series and spent the first 2 weeks of the series hunting it down LOL…
You can get Monave lipglosses for RM28 a pot from lovingminerals.com. Affordable, long lasting and pigmented colours – definitely a bargain.
Stay beautiful,
Paris B

that looks great! It certainly looks more lipstick than lipgloss. very pretty color too!
Hey Connie
Yep! Picked up sight unseen and tada! It works! hehe…
I am so loving your entire series so far! I can’t decide which one I love more cos the next day’s lippie might just be better… LOL.
Hey rinnah
Aww… thank you! You can wait till the 30 days are up then decide?
looks good
i would definately buy it if it was in a convenient twisted tube form thou
i hate using fingers
i work my lip brush even when applying vaseline
Hi Lynn
Yeah I prefer my lippies in a tube too. Its just easier to use.
I am not aware they have mineral make up for lipgloss! I only thought they have mineral product in powder form like those of foundation, eye shadow and blush. This feature from you is an eye-opener for me and I thank you for it
Is the mineral lipgloss mosturizing or drying? From my experience, long lasting lipsticks tends to be on the drying side and it is a big NO NO for me.
Hi Sylvia
Oh yes, there is liquid mineral makeup and mineral lipstick tend to last longer without being drying. I like this one – feels almost like a colored lip balm
This is interesting. I haven’t read the rest of your project yet but I have a suggestion on this one. Maybe you could use the lipgloss as a blush as well. If it’s so pigmented, maybe you could rub it a little bit before putting it on. But as a lip colour, it looks great on you.
That lipgloss looks fantastic! I went to the Monave website and WOW! They offer so many all natural cosmetics! The colors they offer in their lip line are GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing this and I cannot wait to get my order!
