I picked up the colours Peach Parfait and Cupcake, neither of which I'd heard much about. I did really love Strawberry Shortcake (I think that's the name) but Cupcake seemed a much more lilac-pink which I love right now.
Left - Peach Parfait. Right - Cupcake.
Firstly they are SO silky, they do take some effort to build up the colour but I'd read that and was prepared for it. They smell gorgeous, have a gorgeous glossy finish without being sticky like a typical gloss, and don't smudge like I was expecting them to.
Ready for some stupid squinty pictures? Good, because as soon as I set my camera up outside the bloody sun came out and blinded me so I look ridiculous, but the colours do show up lovely!
Peach Parfait has a really obvious gold glitter running through it in the tube but as soon as it's on the lips that sort of disappears which I'm quite pleased about. It's a really natural, 'healthy' colour that I'll be wearing daily from now on!
Cupcake is my new obsession. A real lilac toned pink, this will look AMAZING with a tan, and I'll build the colour up to pair it with a smokey gold eye on a night out!
Has anyone else tried the lip butters? What other shades do you recommend? I'm hoping to go back for some more soon!

ReplyDeleteThanks hun :) They really are gorgeous I was pleasantly surprised! xxx
Deleteohhh woowww these look amazing. Ive also seen and read all the hype and kind of dismissed them until ive read this and seen that you can actually see the colour of them! Loving the lilac-pink colour.. will be trying that one first as soon as i spot them on the shelves :) x
ReplyDeleteThey have an amazing colour range too, but cupcake was my favourite. Strawberry shortcake is similar but a touch more rose pink rather than lilac, so cute!! xxx
DeleteThese look amazing, I love the peach shade!xx

DeleteThese look so nice! I tried to get some of these in Boots yesterday but every single colour was sold out! Seems like my town likes them a lot. x
ReplyDeleteYea they seem to be really hard to get hold of, and I can see why! xxx
DeleteCupcake looks really similar to innocence by topshop which is my favourite lippy. Might have to purchase! X
ReplyDeleteYes it's like a much glossier version of that, I've got Innocent too and I thought the same thing! xxx
