Testing lipstick on the back of your hand or selecting the wrong shade may be a thing of the past, all thanks to the lipstick sampling product, Lippistix.
Developed by Carolyn Devitt, Lippistix helps consumers to test lip colour in-store or at home before buying the end product. Simply select your desired shade and place the Lippistix over your mouth for a fast, hygienic method of seeing how a lipstick will REALLY suit you!
Carolyn said ‘I have designed a new simple product, conducted a worldwide patent search, filed for a patent and also registered the design. Lippistix simultaneously represents and tests a lipstick colour in a sanitary and convenient way. Nobody else has thought of this before’.
Lippistix testers are made from a single piece of lip-shaped plastic, with the lipstick colour applied through pad printing. The lipstick shade is printed in gold font on the reverse, and an acrylic stick allows the tester to be held up to the face and positioned over the lips for colour testing. Lippistix is designed to be displayed alongside the corresponding lipsticks in a purpose built stand.
‘An advantage of my design is that Lippistix can be positioned over the lipsand gives the appearance that the customer is wearing the lipstick. It’s a perfect way of ensuring the customer gets the right lipstick for their skin colouring before they buy. It’s unique, hygienic, clean and easy, take home and novel.’
After a worldwide patent search Carolyn is now seeking a company who would be prepared to produce and distribute her ingenious product!
