Lip service
Glossy to matte, rosy to red, there are lots of bright new lip heroes on the shelf this month just in time for St Valentine’s Day
For those who love lip gloss
It’s hard to nd a gloss that packs the same colour punch as a lipstick but Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip, €23.50 does just that. It glides on like a balm (it’s infused with superfruit oils of acai, cranberries and blueberries), nishes like a gloss, but lasts and gives the full coverage of a lipstick. ere are 14 shades, from bare (Lychee Baby) to bold (Cool Beets), to bright (Big Apple).
For those who love bold colour
Chinese New Year o cially starts on February 5 and to celebrate, Lancôme has released the L’Absolu Rouge Matte, €30, in a vibrant red tube. I particularly love the ni y 2019 inscription on the side in gold. Available in two colours, brick red Vintage and pink nude Poème – these are wearable day or night.
