[Innisfree](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innisfree-isle-hand-cream) recently introduced a collection of liquid lipsticks by the name of Vivid Cotton Ink, as the lip products are said to dry to leave the feel of "plush cotton" on the lips, along with the intensity of ink. Liquid lipsticks are known for being extremely drying yet this new range promises highly pigmented color with just one lightweight layer, as well as a comfortable texture.

The Vivid Cotton Ink lipsticks are formulated with nourishing botanical oils like cotton seed, camellia, mango seed and avocado, which help to keep the lips feeling comfortable and hydrated. These new liquid lipsticks from Innisfree are offered in 13 bold shades that range from Pink Rose to [Merlot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bleecker-bucket-bag-with-kisslock) and Bright Orange.
