By all means these lipsticks aren't new additions to the 17 range but during a not so sunny day I trawled through old posts of Milly's over at Pearls and Poodles and came across a blog post about these gorgeous little lippies. I'm a little slow on the uptake and taking full advantage of a 3 for 2 offer on a last minute dash at the airport I grabbed a few to try out.
After reading Milly's post and looking at the swatches I knew instantly I wanted to try out Peace and Hollywood, the third I picked up was Flirtini.
Mirror Shine's are glossy and sheer in colour, giving your lips a little something without being in your face, I wouldn't recommend these if you love lipsticks that are more pigmented in colour though. I'm not into lip gloss at all and find that these are a great substitute for a similar look without the sticky horrible ness.
I find the colour in the tube isn't quite the same as when swatched so please don't go on first impressions and try out the testers available in Boots. Hollywood is a light red/dark pink shade which looks absolutely gorgeous on the lips. Flirtini is my favourite although it's the only shade that contains shimmer (which often puts me off). It's a berry pink colour. Peace is a light pink, it looks brighter and slightly corally/orange in the tube but doesn't swatch that way. It's nice but I was expecting a lot more from it.
Unfortunately these lipsticks don't last very long, but I guess that's to be expected from a gloss consistency. On the upside re-applying doesn't leave my lips dry which is perfect for the summer. They are priced at £4.59 each (keep an eye out for those 3 for 2 deals) and there are 10 shades in total. I really want to try out Beehive (it was sold out when I purchased the others), have any of you guys tried it? What do you think?
I'm off now to watch the final Harry Potter film, I'm excited though a little upset. I really don't want them to end. I've spent all week watching the past 6 films, I had forgotten how much I loved them, especially the one with Robert Pattinson in ;)
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend, if not a wet one!!
xoxo
