Earlier this month, I
posted every shade of the newly released Burberry Lip Velvet lip color…I personally selected the lightest shade (of course!), Pink Apricot, a lovely satin matte nude/peach/pink hybrid. The Burberry Lip Velvet formula is phenomenal; for a matte, it is extremely moisturizing. It imparts a subtle glow that modernizes the idea of a matte lipstick and possesses formidable pigmentation…full opacity is achieved with a single swipe. My lips feel protected and comfortable for hours and when it wears off, I am left with a lovely nude stain (but no peeling lips…a rarity indeed).
Scroll on for images and details…

Above and below: Burberry Lip Velvet in Pink Apricot appears as a creamy peach with nude and pink tones. I love the Burberry plaid accents on the bullet…I had to make sure I took these pictures before I continued to use this lip color and compromised the plaid design!

Bottom Line: The Burberry Lip Velvet lip color is remarkable…it is extremely opaque and hydrating, while imparting a beautiful satin matte finish that is gentle on the lips. I love Pink Apricot because it is a fabulous neutral for everyday wear…a welcome addition to my pale nude collection and highly recommended!

That looks like a great color! Unfortunately it doesn't go well with my skin tone (I'm too yellow)… but quite lovely on you!
Thanks, Stepford Witch!! The good news is that there are so many other lovely Burberry Lip Velvet Shade that you are bound to find one that suits you perfectly!
Have a great rest of the week…

Beautiful. I'm totally devoted to coral lipsticks. This one is gorgeous. Your skin (and hair! so bouncy!) looks gorgeous in this post. What foundation are you wearing?

Gorgeous colour on you BP- these are so far my favourite matte lipsticks- I need to get more of these babies when I next have a travelling family member!
Thank you so much, Jo! The fact that these are matte, yet extremely hydrating makes them a rare find indeed!
