Gorgeous Lancome lippies. Shades, from left to right: 159B, 146B, 200B and 340B. The three to the right are my favourites from the entire range, but there are loads of shades including quite a bonkers purple! I do envy anyone brave (or crazy) enough to wear purple on their lips. I have enough of a confidence meltdown wearing red!

The “In Love” lipsticks have an absolutely beautiful texture – very creamy and moisturising, but at the same time really light. They last well, even if the juicy finish pares down to more of a stain after a couple of hours, and I don’t find them drying.

My absolute favourite shade of all is 146B, “Miss Coquelicot” which I very embarrassingly pronounced “Miss Cock-a-lot” the other day. Don’t worry, it’s not my worst faux pas. Here’s Miss Cockalot on my lips (Dear God, what a sentence):

You’ve probably seen a version of this picture already in the Old-School Glamour post… It’s a nice corally-red, though, isn’t it? Very wearable. The packaging is quite cute and compact, more pretty-pretty-save-me-a-keepsake than total-luxe, but desirable all the same.

Anyway, you’ll be seeing more of these little beauties in a video very soon!
