Daring red, pastel pink, colourful coral..the different shades of lipstick go on and on. Lipstick can really give your lips a statement and complete your look whether you are going out for the day or to a party.
The lovely ladies at Beauty UK sent me 3 lipsticks to trial and review. I was sent a trio of lovely shades and was very excited to receive them. The team at Beauty UK are so nice and I'm very grateful for what they have sent. Beauty UK is ran by a family and they don't test their cosmetics on animals. Beauty UK make amazing cosmetics and it is definitely worth checking out their page, their products are available online from this link;
http://www.beautyukcosmetics.com/ Go and have a good old nose and maybe purchase a product or two, they are very high quality and affordable, what could be better!
My first impression of the lipsticks was the lovely packaging and how light and portable these lipsticks are. The packaging is quite similar to MAC lipsticks and I think the Beauty UK products have a nice, simple look to them.
I was sent three completely different shades, a coral/orange, pastel pink and a cerise pink. The lipsticks did smell slightly weird, like a strong mint which may be a little off putting for some people but the colours are so pigmented that the smell doesn't matter!
I love the unique names of these products and if you wanted to purchase any here are the names above. They cost £3.49 each which is a very good price, the lipsticks are moisturising and long lasting which makes them good quality. I would apply a clear lip gloss underneath when you are using these products for the first time, I used Maybelline Baby Lips in Hydrate.
Son of a Peach
Son of a Peach is a lovely pastel matte colour which is good for people with fair skin as it is a very light shade. Unfortunately this shade was too light for my skin tone and complexion so I wouldn't be able to wear it often unless I wanted to experiment for the Spring/Summer season. I do like the colour of it though as it's a light bubblegum and is definitely on trend for the season.
Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl is probably my favourite shade out of all three! The colour is a gorgeous cerise pink and is very bold, perfect for making a beauty statement or for a party. I think this shade suits medium skin but any skin tone could match it, but for some people it might be a bit too bold. This lipstick lasts for so long too, it took a few attempts to remove it! I also love the shimmer effect it gives.
Sunset
Sunset is a gorgeous coral which I think will be great for the summer time, for £3.49 it is worth picking up one to add that little extra to your holiday and beach outfits. It is very bold and matte and I think coral really adds the extra touch to every look. I think this colour would suit people with an olive skin tone but would also look good on most people.
The only negative point I would say about these lipsticks are that they are very bold and may be a bit too bright for some people, especially teenagers but the rest of the lipsticks by Beauty UK look great. These lipsticks didn't really suit me but I'm going to order some from the website as I'm so pleased with these products and the staff are so lovely! My Mum has taken Gossip Girl, it's her new favourite lipstick! Here are the other shades available from Beauty UK just click here
