Fall's Sexiest Lips - Burberry Lipstick in "Ruby" - A Review

One look, and I was in love -- my aunt's gorgeous Burberry coat. Smooth taupe shell,  soft fabric lining, and signature checkered print -- the coat wasn't in-your-face like other high end brands; it was just cool, and chic, and remarkably understated. 

In the five minutes that I tried on my aunt's Burberry coat, I felt like I owned the world.

I WANT Burberry!

(LOL.) I want, but I cannot have -- my aunt has disposable income; I don't. So you can feel my excitement when Burberry recently created a line of cosmetics. Compared to its clothing, Burberry makeup has much cheaper price -- something even a stay-at-home mom like me can afford. 

Thanks Nordstrom!

Thank you so much to Miss. H.S (of Burberry Cosmetics at a local Nordstrom), for reaching out and asking for a review of Burberry makeup.

Of an assortment of products in the mail, I gravitated towards a lipstick in bright, ruby red -- literally, the sexiest lip color I've ever seen. 

 

Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick Review

 (Color in "Ruby")

Quality and Performance

• Really velvety application.
• Formula is rich and soft.
• Lipstick glided on smoothly and evenly.
• One gentle touch on my lips sealed the deal -- this lipstick has superb quality. 

Feel

• Really enjoyed how the lipstick felt on my lips.
• Formula did not dry or crack lips.
• It was just smooth and lustrous.  

Color and Pigmentation

• Ruby is bright, sexy, and certainly commands attention.
• It's not a day color, but works perfectly for night.

Beautiful and vibrant -- isn't Ruby fall's sexiest color?

 

Lasting Power

• Awesome lasting power.
• Lipstick lasted through coffee, water, kisses with hubby, and a long walk around the neighborhood.
• Of course, with so much lasting power, the lipstick was hard to take off. However, I used a baby wipe, and had little trouble discarding the color. 

 

Very impressive that this lipstick lasted through coffee.

 

Packaging

• Because I only received a sample, I could not witness the entire packaging. However, on Nordstrom's website, the packaging looked beautiful.
• The lipstick itself was engraved with Burberry's quilted prints.
• Its easy-to-use twist tube contained Burberry's signature.
• The tube's top, or cover, also has Burberry's signature prints.
• I also enjoy the tube's rectangular shape. It just looks so luxurious.
• The entire packaging showed branding genius.  

Love Burberry's quilted pattern.

 

Overall Likes

• Excellent formula. It glided on smoothly, did not dry lips, and lasted a long time.
• Ruby is a beautiful, rich color, and looks fantastic for a night out. (Or holiday party perhaps?)
• Gorgeous packaging. All over luxurious, quilted design.
  

Overall Dislikes

•  Just a little more effort to take off, but it's totally understandable.

10/10

Price: $30 at Nordstrom.

This color really brought out my lips.

I'd totally wear it on a night on the town.

 

This Burberry lipstick is really one of the best lipsticks I have tried.

 

And isn't Ruby the sexiest color this fall?

 

Hope you enjoyed the review.

 

Have you tried Burberry lipstick before?
