Introducing the Confession Ultra-Slim High Intensity Lipstick Red 0 - Refill… boasting a patent-pending, vegan alternative to carmine which for centuries has been the beauty industry’s go-to-red pigment (produced from crushed beetles). Granting this beautiful lipstick its colour-pop hue, the name symbolises the Hourglass promise to animal welfare – zero animal by-products, zero animals harmed.

“Carmine is everywhere, from food and alcohol to paint.” says Hourglass’ founder, Carisa. “Creating a vegan alternative felt like an impossible feat at times, but it was such an important step – we need to move away from treating living beings as expendable.” We couldn’t agree more, and this refill for your beautiful, scarlet bullet adorned with a beetle delivers the same creamy, saturated payoff that you’ve come to know and love. Long-wearing with a satin finish, the ultra-slim stick permits precise application — allowing you to easily define and fill the lip with vivid, traffic-stopping pigment that will never smudge or feather.

Remove gold applicator cap. Pull lipstick barrel out from pointed end of gold applicator. Take lipstick refill and remove black cap. Firmly pull lipstick barrel out from base. Holding pointed end of applicator, insert lipstick barrel into opening until it clicks into place. Secure applicator cap after each use. Reconnect black cap and base of refill and store for future use.

Worshipped for their incandescent highlighters, buttery blushers, ultra-soft brushes and refillable lipsticks, Hourglass combines science, luxury and beauty to create the most magnificent — and covetable — make up. Blending ground-breaking active ingredients with innovative technology, the products facilitate seamlessly beautiful, ‘second skin’ finishes — and the sleek, chic packaging is yet another reason to adore it. That, and the fact that the brand is committed to being entirely vegan; their greatest innovation to date is the Confession Ultra-Slim High Intensity Lipstick Refill Red 0. A 100% vegan red lipstick formulated with a patent-pending replacement for carmine — the industry’s standard red pigment produced from crushed female insects — and now available with a sustainable refill for your ultra-sleek applicator.
