Lord & Berry Summer Launches - Review


I was recently very kindly gifted these Lord & Berry summer launch products by the people over at PurePR, so I thought I would review them for you.

If you want to know more about Lord & Berry as a brand head over to their website, linked above!

LIPSTICKS


The two colours that I was sent were Number 7417 which is a satin finish lipstick (Left) and Red which is semi matte lipstick (Right).

I really like the super simple packing of these lipsticks, but to be honest, its whats inside that matters the most I guess!

Firstly, the pigmentation of both of these lipsticks is amazing, it really only takes one swipe of the lipstick to get a good, even coat of colour, which I like because you don't use the lipstick up as quickly when the colour pay off is great first time round!

The lipstick pictured on the left has a very creamy consistency, it is in no way matte but at the same time it isn't too glossy. It feels nice on the lips almost quite moisturising and it lasts pretty well!

The red lipstick pictured on the right is as it says on the bullet, a semi matte lipstick and I would say it is true to its word. It has that matte effect but no the point where you can really feel it, because with some matte lipstick you can feel it getting super matte and your lips end up feeling a little tight and sometime a bit dry, but that is not the case with this one.
It glides on really nicely and doesn't drag on the lip too much like most matte lippies! Again, the longevity of the colour is really good!

The only down side to these lipsticks, are that they stain the lips a bit which isn't a huge issue, however if you mess up when you apply it is better to use a q-tip to correct it with a bit of make-up remover on it so it doesn't smear across your face and leave you with a lipstick stained face!

EYESHADOWS


So the colours I received of these eyeshadows are Nour (Left) and Hana (Right), the colour Hana is matte powder eyeshadow and Nour has a bit shimmer to it.

Again I really like the packing of these, I like that it allows you to see the colour through the lid.

The colour pay off for both of these eyeshadows is really good, as you can see from the photo, this is just one swipe of the products. Both colours are really build-able, so if you do want to build the colour more and make them brighter and more visible, then it can be done. The only bad thing about the yellow colour, is that it can stain a little, but I found that using a good cleanser solves that problem!

Both of the eyeshadows have a really soft consistency, they seem to be super finely milled so they apply onto the lid really smoothly without looking really powdery, they just sit really nicely on the eyelid.
The shimmer in the Nour eyeshadow is really fine and looks really lovely when the light catches it. 

The colour lasts pretty well, I like to use a primer on the lid before applying eyeshadow anyway, but even so the colour stays on well.

For me the yellow is not a colour I would personally wear as it is just a little too adventurous for me, however I think for a more editorial/fashion look it would look great! The pink is probably a colour I would use sparingly, i'm not a very colourful person, but I think it would look really lovely for a summery look or even for a subtle bridal make-up.

Over all I am really impressed with these products, they are all super lovely summer colours and will look great with so many different make-up looks. 
Even if these colours aren't for you I would definitely recommend checking out other Lord & Berry products, they do an incredible selection of nude lipsticks and lipliners, which I have a couple of & I love!
