Burberry: Lip Velvet

Matte is on everyone's lips this season. Read more to find out how the Burberry lippys stack up! 

The Story

Okay sooo first of all, I am sorry for the hiatus. I updated a bit on my Insta so that you guys knew what was going on! I got a new job at the amazing head office of LUSH Cosmetics! I also moved into a new apartment closer to my new job. Basically, some pretty big life changes. I needed a bit of time to adjust. I am partially settled now, and working hard. Hope you guys are all well, I missed my writing outlet!

Back to business, these lippies are described as being richly pigmented, soft mattes. They will run you a pretty penny (or dime..since penny's aren't a thing anymore), going for $38 retail price. Check out my swatches and my thoughts below to see if I think it's worth your hard earned cash! 

The Swatches

The Verdict

So first let's talk packaging. I adore the fact that they used a mould to give the bullet of the lipstick the impression of the burberry tartan, makes it look extra luxe. I enjoy the weight of the packaging, but my biggest issue is....the magnetic closure. It is not very strong and feels almost like it could come apart in your bag! I haven't had that happen, but it is something that I worry about (Maybe I am just paranoid). 

Product quality verdict, amazeballs. I feel like that is a pretty official verdict right? It truly is full colour payoff in one application, and feels sooo comfortable on the lips. I think that Burberry and Urban Decay are my front runners on matte lipsticks for this season, Dior is a close third. They don't have an amazing colour variety, I mean I have my eye on Oxblood but the colours are pretty neutral. I would say if you are looking for crazy fun colours, check out UD. If you want the perfect classic shades, then head over to your Burberry counter ASAP to snag on of these shades! 

What are your thoughts, does the packaging of a product change your mind about your purchase? What is your favourite lipstick texture!? 

Thanks again guys for understanding my little vacay from Blogging, some backloged posts coming out soon! 

Until next time,
