Gush Beauty Pen Pal Multi Lipstick Review

Multi taskers are what I expect from Gush Beauty and this lip stick stack is no different. I loved Gush Beauty's Super Stack Vegan Matte Lipstick and this multi tasker is no different. For a finicky person such as me , touch ups are not only to sustain the mood, it may aslo be for changing up the mood and vibe! 

And the Pen Pal from gush beauty is an outstanding candidate for that soft blurred lip look in various colors and combos. I reach for this on days I am the most confused ! 

Without any further ado, let's jump into the review ! 

So let's get into it with the 3 Ps!

Price : 1199 INR for 6 shades

Packaging :

The Pen Pal comes in a sleek, pen-like multi lipstick format and honestly, the name could not be more fitting. It is slim, travel friendly and clicks together just like the Super Stack but feels a little more refined in hand. Each shade sits in its own section and the whole thing assembles into one neat little column that slides into any bag without a fuss. The packaging has that same fun Gush Beauty energy, colourful and a little quirky, but slightly more grown up than the Super Stack. The applicator tip is soft and tapered which I think is the real hero of the packaging story, because it is precisely what gives you that blurred, diffused lip effect without needing a separate brush or your finger. A detail that is small but makes a huge difference in application!

Product :

The Pinks and Mauves variant is genuinely one of the most wearable sets I have picked up in a while. The shades range from a soft baby pink to a deeper cool mauve, and together they cover almost every mood I could possibly be in on any given day. What sets the Pen Pal apart from the Super Stack is the finish. Where the Super Stack gives you a more defined matte, the Pen Pal leans into a softer, blurred lip look that feels very effortless and very now. The formula is lightweight and does not settle into fine lines the way some mattes tend to.

I remember carrying this to a lunch that turned into an extended dinner situation, one of those days where the plan kept shifting and so did the lighting and the vibe! Started the afternoon with the softer pink, and by the time we moved to a dimmer restaurant setting later in the evening I just dabbed the mauve over it at the table. No mirror, no fuss. The woman at the next table actually leaned over and asked what I was using because she thought I had done a full lip change, which genuinely made my day! That is exactly the kind of effortless that the Pen Pal delivers.

It wears comfortably for a good few hours and the pigmentation is solid enough that one swipe reads as a real colour, but buildable enough that you can keep it sheer if that is the vibe. For someone who loves a diffused, barely there but still there kind of lip, this hits the brief perfectly. The shades also layer beautifully over each other, which means on my most indecisive days I can dab two shades together and land somewhere that feels completely intentional. And honestly, pulling out one slim pen instead of rummaging through a bag full of individual lipsticks at a restaurant table? That alone has saved me from more than a little embarrassment!

The Pen Pal is for every girl who wants options without the bulk, and a lip look that feels considered even on the most chaotic of days. Absolutely recommend, this one earns a permanent spot in the bag!
