Michael Kors Lip Lacquer Bombshell & Lip Luster Siren


On a recent trip to The Cosmetic Company Store I spotted these beautiful Michael Kors lip products. 
I do love the Michael Kors brand but never knew they also produced makeup!
So you can only imagine the smile on my face when I came across these items. I decided to go for The lip lacquer in shade Bombshell and lip luster in shade Siren. They are both beautiful fuchsia pink shades. You can never go wrong with a fuchsia pink in my eyes, and as I didn't know much about the quality of the products I wanted to keep safe with a shade that I knew I would like. 




The packaging has a very sophisticated edge. In my opinion its very glam and high-end. Im glad they have stuck with the Michael Kors style. I feel as soon as you look at this lipstick you can tell it has a Michael Kors esque about it. The only down side about the packaging itself is the finger prints. After each time the product is held I have to wipe over to remove my prints! However when you have wiped over and it looks brand new again. It really is a gorgeous design.   




I love the Michael Kors engraving down the back of the lipstick. Its a nice added touch which makes the lipstick look more designer rather than high street.   
Bombshell has a high coverage but with a sheer finish. It glides on evenly with very little effort. The shade is a beautiful raspberry fuchsia pink. I can see this shade working with any outfit and eye makeup.  This lipstick is very nourishing to the lips with added Vitamin E and Shea Butter. You can definitely feel how the lipstick smooths and moisturizes the lips as soon as you put it on.   


The packaging for the Lip Lusters again is very sophisticated. I like with the lip lusters you can see the colour of the gloss with its transparent design. Again I can see the Michael Kors style shine through. However the lid also leaves the finger prints so you do need to give a little wipe after each application unless they don't bother you!  





I really love this gloss. The shimmer is just enough to look pretty and sparkly without being over the top. In the picture above this is the gloss over the top of the lipstick. They pair perfectly together. I found when wearing the lipstick and gloss together it lasted alot longer than when worn individually. Both the lipstick and gloss on there own have a sheer to medium coverage. However paired together gives a full vibrant coverage. Again the lip luster has added vitamin E and Shea butter. 



I really do like the lip luster and lip lacquer. I will definitely be looking into buying some more shades in the future. I would also like to try more of the Michael Kors beauty products.

MUA LUXE Velvet Lip Laquer - Criminal

As soon as I heard MUA were bringing out a Luxe range I knew I wanted to try it out.
I love lip lacquer's that give the appearance of lipsticks and this couldn't be more perfect for that.
 I feel lip lacquer's can sometimes be easier to apply than lipsticks.   
Knowing this was MUA Luxe range I was expecting the lip lacquer to be quite pricey but was pleasantly surprised to find out they only cost £3 !!! 


If your looking for a lip product that is completely matte this has definitely got that quality. The texture of the product is very thick so you only need to apply one coat at a time. However to get the perfect long lasting finish you must not press your lips together until the lip lacquer is 100% dry. When you are sure the lip lacquer has dried it should not budge. You should be able to rub your finger across your lips and have no residue on your hands whatsoever.  This is great for night out as you wont have to re apply every 5 mins (As long as you drink from a straw)       



The sophisticated designer packaging makes the lip lacquer look very expensive. Its very classy with the black lid gold writing and matte finish to the tube. Its a good size and as you only need to apply a little amount. I can see this lasting me for months. The Lacquer has a tight screw lid with a wand applicator so no worries of any leaking which is always a bonus.     


You can see from the photo above how thick the Lacquer comes out when applying.  When you first apply the lacquer has a liquid glossy texture. Remember to keep your lips separated and within a minute your lips should be completely dry and matte.     


The Shade I chose is - Criminal. Its a beautiful vibrant pink which really stands out. This shade will look amazing teamed with a dark navy dress for a night out. This will also be great for photo-shoots as the colour play of is just so bright and vivid. This most certainly will be making an appearance in my professional kit.
