Girlcult Compendium of Materia Medica Matte Lipstick 3.5g

This Girlcult Matte Lipstick offers several benefits, combining long-lasting color, a comfortable matte finish, and skincare-inspired ingredients.

1. Velvety Matte Finish

• Lightweight, Non-Drying Formula: Contains silicones (Dimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone) and emollients (Isononyl Isononanoate) for a smooth, non-cakey application.
• Powders & Absorbents (Silica, Kaolin, Calcium Carbonate) help blur imperfections and reduce shine for a soft-matte look.

2. Long-Lasting & Transfer-Resistant

• VP/Hexadecene Copolymer improves adherence to lips.
• Waxes (Microcrystalline, Synthetic) ensure the color stays put without excessive smudging.

3. Hydration & Comfort

• Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate helps retain moisture, preventing the lipstick from feeling overly drying.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (derived from coconut oil) provides lightweight hydration.

4. Antioxidant & Nourishing Extracts

• Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi Mushroom) & Cordyceps Extracts may offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, though their impact in lipstick is minimal.

5. Rich, Pigmented Color

• High concentration of iron oxides (CI 77491/77492/77499) and synthetic pigments (CI 15850, CI 19140, etc.) ensure vibrant, buildable coverage.

6. Skin-Friendly Formulation (Compared to Traditional Mattes)

• Free from parabens (based on ingredient list).
• Contains Caprylyl Glycol (a mild preservative) instead of harsh alternatives.

Potential Downsides

• Fragrance ("Daily Use Fragrance") may irritate sensitive lips.
• Some powdery ingredients (like Barium Sulfate) could feel slightly drying over time.

Best For:

• Those who love matte lipsticks but hate dryness.
• Fans of long-wearing, blurring lip color.
• People who appreciate skincare-infused makeup.

Warm Notes

• Manually unscrew the paste by 1-2mm, and do not unscrew too much.

1. The paste is filled in the lipstick tube by fitting the tube body. It is easy to cause scratches and stains on the sides. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect use.
2. Due to the particularity of the surface treatment process of the paste, there will be slight mud falling when the you first apply it. You can activate the paste by circling in the palm of your hand for better makeup effect.
3. The product formula contains a small amount of volatile oils and should not be exposed to the air for a long time. Please cover the lid in time after use to avoid the paste from drying out after long-term exposure to the air. If the paste is difficult to apply, it is recommended to activate it on your palm.
4. Due to the deviation between containers, some products may slightly separate from the wall when exposed to air or high temperature for a long time. This is normal and does not affect the use of the paste. Please make sure to cap it for storage.
