I picked up three of the four new lippies from Lisa Eldridge's Summer Pinks Lipstick Collection. As much as I enjoy a salmon-pink lip, depending on the base tone of the pigment used, the shade can be a hit or miss for me. Go Lightly is described as having a pastel undertone. Because those kinds of shades doesn't look good on me, I feel confident in my decision to pass.
With the purchase of two or more lipsticks you got this cute pale turquoise fabric bag, with pale yellow gold trim, and Eldridge's trademark embroidered emblem.
The lipsticks come in two different formulas: Luxuriously Lucent (Go Lightly, and Love of My Life), which is a soft, translucent, semi-sheer finish. The second formula is Insanely Saturated (Rainbow Spill, and Skyscraper Rose), a creamy, ultra-pigmented demi-matte. Both textures apply smoothly, with a luscious, lightweight feel on the lips. As a side-note, all three lipsticks leave a beautiful, even stain.
From left to right: Love of My Life, Rainbow Spill, Skyscraper Rose.
Rainbow Spill: a slight muted, slightly radiated, corally-red, watermelon pink.
Skyscraper Rose: a deep, yet vibrant, reddened, fuchsia pink.
Apologies that my lighting in the photos below are all over the place. I really need to buy a ring light.
Love of My Life.
Rainbow Spill.
Skyscraper Rose.
I love all three shades as well as both finishes. However, I must say my favorite formula was the Insanely Saturated, and my favorite shade was Skyscraper Rose, with Rainbow Spill coming in at a close second.
Were you able to get any Lipsticks from the Summer Pinks Collection?
