Hello there,

Our bestseller Neha is a sheer & bright balm-gloss-tint, both buildable and moisturizing, in the format of a luxe lipstick. 

We had tried every raspberry colored tinted lip balm under the moon, and never quite seemed to find one that worked. They were always too light for our melanated two-toned lips, or too pigmented in a shade that didn't complement the grey undertones often found around the mouths of South Asians like us. So we took our favorite lipstick shade and turned it into the balm-gloss-tint formula of our dreams. We can put Neha on without a mirror, and we never have to think twice about whether we're doing "too much" when we have it on. 

Packed full of jojoba oil, castor seed oil, peppermint oil, candellila wax, and Vitamins E and C, this minty lipstick is ultra moisturizing.

Because of the super natural formula, it takes a few swipes to break through the waxy top layers of the lipstick, so please use it a few times in order to get to the glossy texture underneath. We hope you like it! 

Hello There,

Sometimes, the best things are accidents. That's exactly what Priya is. We stumbled upon this shade while trying to create something else, and we're so, so happy we did. Because once we put it on, we knew we identified a color that South Asians like us never knew they were missing. 

It's one of those in-between shades that is hard to put into words (but we'll try!). It's a blend of berry and brown, but with orange and pink undertones that really shine through depending on your skin tone and lip tone. In that sense, Priya is a bit of a chameleon lip shade. As per the tenets of color theory, Priya truly looks a bit different on everyone, yet magically still suits all South Asians complexions. 

The formula is vegan and free of parabens, sulfates, and pthalates. It's cruelty free, as well. 

We also added a touch of peppermint to give it a refreshing, cooling feeling on your lips. We hope you love it as much as we do. 

Sincerely,
Nupoora & Pooja

Hello there, 

After what seemed like a lifetime of buying and trying pink lipsticks, only to throw them away or not use them, we realized it was time to create our own. Nyla is an ode to our younger selves who so desperately wanted an easy pink nude lipstick to wear everyday. It's a careful mix of strawberry pink, brown, and mauve that complements the natural hues of South Asian lips.  

The formula is vegan and free of parabens, sulfates, and pthalates. It's cruelty free, as well.

Hello There,

We wanted to participate in the brown lipstick trend, but all of the ones we tried on the market seemed a bit...well, grey. We needed something with a bit of reddish punch to it so that it would complement our brown complexions, so we set off to make it ourselves. We came up with Riya, a burnt sienna that pays homage to the browns we see and love from the 90s, but South Asian style. It's a shade that makes more of a bold statement when you walk into the room, but in a good way. It has subtle orange undertones that make sure you'll never look washed out when you have it on.
