Nothing sexier than a sleek tube that resists fingerprints
So much so that the Lip Mists and Lip Covers, both similarly packaged and once lauded for exquisite design, look tacky in comparison. Gunmetal, what?
L-R: Lip Velvet, Lip Mist
Regardless (or regrettably so), I can't just put down $30 on every good looking lipstick I see, so what's in it kind of matters. After swatching the entire line, I decided to test the formula with Military Red No. 310. As you know, I already have a veritable collection of red lipsticks that I'm likely never able to use up in my life time, but there's something ridiculous about the vibrancy of this color that made me have to have it.
I know it's way too early to bust out earmuffs, but it's the only thing I have in my wardrobe that matched such a red. The photo shoot turned out to be absolute fun because of it - believe me, much prancing was involved.
(By the way, props are totally a new feature on Messy Wands.)
Earmuffs are from Kate Spade New York, purchased two years ago
The formula is moisturizing and not altogether matte (that seems to be the case when a brand calls a product "velvet") because there is a slight sheen when applied to the lips. The lipstick is non-staining, but it will stay on your lips until you apply some sort of remover to it. I wore it for five hours without feathering or bleeding (and took it off only because it was the end of the day). As for the color, my lips looked like Christmas.

That packaging is so gorgeous it made me go back and look at all the swatches, but I hate the Burberry lipstick smell!
ReplyDeleteBut the finish is so gorgeous!
Delete1. I love the lipstick. Wow vibrant!
ReplyDelete2. You look so cozy with the sweater and earmuffs. You're so cute!
3. I must try this line.
P.S. AHMAHGAH
3. Yes, you must.

Hello-This looks gorgeous on you. I have high hopes for these matte velvets as my last matte lip colour I purchased from Hourglass was a disappointment.All I have to do now is choose just ONE colour.
ReplyDeleteI almost got No.311 as well, but Chanel Rouge Noir distracted me.
DeleteI NEED some Burberry in my life VERY soon!!! This one is SO gorgeous on you!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDoes this have a lot of slip?
xxkarima
I don't think so. It's easy to apply (no tugging or pulling) but it doesn't swim around the lips.
Delete<3 your smile and the colour :)
ReplyDelete<3! My teeth are so yellow though /glum
DeleteI love it when you smile, Wandz! :D And I love this colour and the sexiness of the tube. I really should go revisit Burberry!
ReplyDeletebut teeth yellow!
DeleteYes! We had the same reservations (and I can never look at a Lip Cover the same way again) but the velvets are worth a swatch at least!
We seem to be cursed with yellow teeth >.< I'm the same :(
DeleteLove the photos, looks so fun! The color looks great on you :) btw I LOVE the frequency with which you're posting now! So many amazing products!
ReplyDeleteWhat's that sound, you say? Oh, just my wallet sobbing quietly in the corner :)
The frequency actually never really changed :P I've always tried to do 4-5 posts a week. Thanks for the kind words though!

That last photo of you is so damn beautiful.

DeleteYou look great and I love that color! I need to count out my collection of reds and give them their own private storage space. lol
ReplyDeleteTomorrow's post!
DeleteEeeee you are so pretty! And I like props. PROPS.
ReplyDeletePROPS are fun!
DeleteOk, now I know what I want from Burberry next time I visit their counter! Gorgeous! And the velvet finish is to die for!
ReplyDeleteThose earmuffs are adorable! And that lipstick is gorgeous, I love the finish of it. It looks wonderful on you!
ReplyDeleteHello, MW! Love this red shade. In fact, I have saved to favorites your swatches of the entire Burberry Long-wear line! I think they are the most beautiful lip colors ever! I want them all.
ReplyDeleteGod I love Burberry packaging...Your photos looks amazing... The vibrant red is so festive - esp next to your ear muffs!
ReplyDeleteIt's like Christmas came early!
DeleteHave you created a new lemming for me or what? I do not need another red lipstick, I do not need another red lipstick, I do not need.....
ReplyDeleteI really didn't need another either... (PS see tomorrow's post!)
DeleteDo they smell/taste the same as lip covers?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, yes they do.
DeleteI picked up two of these today! #302 and #308, Peony Rose and Pink Azalea. I love them to pieces. My one quibble is that while the packaging *looks* gorgeous, it *feels* a bit lighter and almost flimsier than the standard Lip Cover packaging. Is that just me? Hm. *holds one of each in each hand* I may be wrong. They feel the same when I do that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because one looks more "metal" than the other? They feel the same to me, though.
DeleteGah. The photos in this post! <3 <3
ReplyDelete(P.S. Happy early Christmas, my dear. :P )
Oh my god. This lipstick looks so...delicious! Love your pictures =)
ReplyDeleteOh, YES! Loving the new white background, the graph paper and of course the gorgeous new lighting and photos. The packaging for these is just gorgeous: I'm a sucker for Burberry's aesthetic, its lovely.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, Messy! I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE! Ordering now, I'm not even kidding.
ReplyDeleteIf Burberry had orange red in this formula, I would be all over it like there is no tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try Burberry lipsticks, but this one looks gorgeous on you! I love the pop of accessory - ear muffs! So cute :-)
ReplyDeleteThe AWESOMENESS. Love your eyes too!
ReplyDeleteI have some similar reds but I do not dare to wear them at work, so...

I’m loving the review of Burberry Lip Velvet in Military Red No. 310! The rich color is absolutely stunning and seems like the perfect shade for any occasion.
