My Review
This is a really lovely lip collection and it’s perfect for Summer, not only because the shades are so fresh and easy to wear, but they are also super long lasting.
In fact, the lip liners are so long lasting that I will have to do the lip swatches in another session because once they are on, they are pretty hard to get off! The arm swatches I did needed a full on double cleanse!!
I have really gotten in to using lip liners over the past year, so I am very excited to incorporate these into my rotation because the shades are so gorgeous and the performance is seriously impressive. If you are serious about your lip game, you need one!!
As for Le Lipstick, these will be brilliant for everyone, and are a great ‘chuck in your handbag’ product for a soft boost of colour and hydration on the go.
I love the Holly Hock shade, not only because it’s super youthful and really brightening, but because my childhood garden was filled with Holly Hocks and it brings back such good memories.
Holly Hock looks really bright in the tube, but it’s very versatile and can be a very soft brightening wash of colour, or built up to something a little more bold. Regardless of the intensity you choose, both shades are super long lasting, yet weightless, so you will forget you are wearing them until you look in the mirror. Fabulous!
