Hi Kerry,
Thank you so much for your review, and for letting us know how you're getting on - I'm sorry to hear you are finding your Lipstick to be dry!
If you're finding your Lipstick to be a bit on the dry side, I would recommend holding the Lipstick to the surface of your lips for a couple of seconds before applying to your lips. Sometimes the Lipsticks can be a bit dry depending on the temperature they are stored in, although they should warm up after a few seconds of being in contact with skin. 😊 Another tip is you could try using a lip balm first, and then apply the Lipstick - you should then get a smoother application that glides on.
We understand how tricky it can be to pick the right shade online and even though we have our super awesome 'find your shade' feature on our website, sometimes other factors like the natural shade of our lips and the undertones of our skin can alter how the colour looks on application.
Please know that we do have our product guarantee for situations like these, and because you weren't a big fan of the colour, I would be more than happy to arrange a replacement Lipstick for you! If you would be interested in this just let me know which other shade you would like to try along with your delivery details in an email to hello@ethique.com. Alternatively, I could provide a refund to the value of the Lipstick for you. Just let me know which option would suit you best. 😊
