Beauty Without Cruelty Lipsticks Review

I brought these two lipsticks on Sneakpeeq.
See the heart swans on it? Very cute.

These are the shades I brought. (Silver Rose kind of had an incident. lols)

Little info about the brand:

WORLD'S 1ST CRUELTY-FREE COSMETICS
In 1963, Beauty Without Cruelty was founded in England by the trustees of BWC Charitable Trust, an animal welfare organization. Its goal was to manufacture and distribute natural, color cosmetics that were NOT tested on animals (as was the norm) and did NOT contain any animal ingredients. The driving force behind the project was Katherine Long, a dedicated, life-long animal welfare activist, a cosmetician, and a vegetarian. Together with Noel Gabriel, Katherine developed the first, full line of cruelty-free color cosmetics. Today, Beauty Without Cruelty has a full line of cruelty-free, vegetarian skin, body, and hair care products made with the finest natural ingredients and aroma-therapeutic essential oils, and a full line of colour cosmetics to meet the needs of every woman.
Here is what is says on Sneakpeeq:
 Beauty Without Cruelty's high-intensity pigments are made with plant botanicals, are all organic, and never tested on animals. So get set for fall, with cosmetics with a conscience.

    Likes:
    -price: I paid around $7 each
    -Watermelon glides on easily
    -cruelty-free & gluten-free (great for vegans)
    -packaging is adorable with the heart swans
    -healthy to eat b/c it is organic and not chemicals (don't eat it though lols)
    -does not bleed
    -can get it on Sneakpeeq (if you are a new member they give $10 off, so you can get it for $7 too)

    Dislikes:
    - Not moisturizing, actually rather drying so on lip chap beforehand
    -Silver-rose has glitter in it and is frosty. Also, there is a lot of tugging with this one.
    -Silver Rose doesn't work for my complexion or skin tone.
    -you need to re-apply after eating or drinking
    -smells like lipstick (if you're asking what does lipstick smell like? like old lipsticks from the 90's)
    -have to apply with exfoliated lips, doesn't work for chapped ones
    -no SPF (I like muti-tasking products)

    Did you try this product, if so what do you think of it?

    I'm thinking of selling Silver Rose, if anyone wants it, please contact me =D
