Relatively fresh on the beauty scene (just about a year), Burberry is already revolutionizing the summer lip. Lipstick gets heavy- a feeling a feeling I always hate, but find especially intolerable in the hot months -and tonal lip gloss can get trite – and sticky. Treading the fine line between the two, their new Lip Mist collection is tailor-made for the summer.
Not only is the palette perfect for the sunny months, so is the formulation. Sheer, natural, and lightweight, gliding on ever so smoothly and easily. There’s none of that dreaded heaviness, and the oils create a creamy emollient finish that hydrates and conditions your lips, not drying them like so many lipsticks do. Lip Mist makes them kissably dewy with a subtle glow. I always use a natural gloss for daytime, but for the evening I want a touch of color – nothing loud or thick. So my choice for nighttime is the Burberry Blueberry (quite the tongue twister, huh?). It is a bit more than a hint of color, but like a summer pie, it’s fresh and delicious! Burberry’s Lip Mist is just what the steamy days ordered: light-as-a-feather luminosity with a just-licked-a-Popsicle tint. At Nordstrom for $30.
