Burberry Full Kisses Review & Swatches

This month Burberry has released a whole new lipstick range--Full Kisses. This for me, has to be the most exciting new launch this season. Yes, I have been waiting for over 2 months! 

Official :
  • Celebrate the Burberry Kisses collection with new Burberry Full Kisses for bold, long-lasting colour and fuller-looking lips.
  • Designed to hug every contour of the lip, the unique flat-top bullet follows every curve as it draws, effortlessly defining, shaping and enhancing from corner to corner.
  • Mistake-proof and ideal for on-the-go application, the formula coats lips in one vibrant stroke with a rich veil of bold, luminous colour lasting up to eight hours.
  • Infused with active ingredients, the lip-contouring formula saturates lips with hydration, each shade delivering a smooth, intense and creamy finish.
  • – Shaped and full lips
  • – Bold, luminous colour
  • – Lasts up to eight hours

Burberry Full Kisses has 14 gorgeous shades in total, retails for £24 each, you can find them here. I have No.529 English rose which is a gorgeous rosy pink on my medium skin-tone, and after 1 week of trying out, I'm more than ready to share my thoughts(good and bad) with you guys. 



Just like they claimed the formula is incredibly opaque and moisturising! One swipe is enough to provide rich colour pay off, it lasts around 6-7 hours on my lips without the need of touching up, it doesn't dry out my lips throughout the day, it's definitely not lightweight, but it's very comfortable on the lips, it feels like and acts like a heavy duty lip balm, so if you do not like lip balm feeling, you might want to step away from this.

Next, let's talk about the packaging, the bullet top sticks out quite a bit, which means it's very very difficult to put the lid back on without scratching the bullet itself, especially when you are on-the-go! I made sure to pay extra attention when I used it, but still...well, you can see it for yourself in the photo down below.

Overall, I think it's a great product, if you don't mind the packaging issue, then I'd say you'll love it! I love how nourishing it is, I love how long-lasting it is, I love how opaque it is, and the price tag is not ridiculous, I mean think about Tom Ford. ^-^ 

Thanks for reading. Until next time. xx

Dupe Alert: MAC SOAR vs BURBERRY SEPIA

I'm not a lipliner fan, I always think they are too dry, my first lipliner is Burberry No.03 SEPIA, and now MAC SOAR. 

I was never a big MAC fan, as I find their lipsticks are too dry, but this time, they really rocked my world, MAC lipliner is way creamier than BURBERRY's. It truly glides on effortlessly, and doesn't dry out my lips throughout the day, I'm in love with this formula!!


They both look extremely similar, with or without swatch. However, SEPIA has a slight shimmer in it, whereas SOAR is completely matte. SEPIA is a true dusty rose shade with a bit of shimmer, suits all skin tones. SOAR is more of a browny dusty rose shade, suits light-medium, or medium-dark skin tones best!
 


我本身并非是个唇线笔的迷,一想到唇线笔我就觉得嘴巴发干,第一支入手的是BURBERRY的03号SEPIA, 然后是上个月刚入手的MAC SOAR。

我从来就不是MAC家的粉丝,对她家的印象就是干到裂嘴的唇膏质地, 但是这次着实是让我狠狠的震惊了一下,唇线笔的质地简直就是奶油质地好嘛!甩BURBERRY几条街了!超级好上色,顺滑的简直了!立马一见钟情的爱上了这个质地!

两支颜色都是极其相似的,不管是就这么看看,还是手臂试色。但是,SEPIA涂出来是含有亮片的,但是抿嘴啊啥的完全感觉不到亮片的存在,也看不太出。SOAR就是老老实实的哑光质地。SEPIA是真正的暗玫瑰色,多一分少一分都不行,不挑肤色,不挑年龄,很显气质。 SOAR比前者要偏暗,更成熟老练一些,肤色白皙的反倒不适合,适合中等肤色(如我),绝对的抚媚成熟,小年轻也不适合,否则反而显得老气没精神。
