Karen Murrell Natural Lipstick - 20 True Love
This lipstick pays tribute to the love of Karen’s craft, with a lust-worthy blue-based red, and symbolises the love that she felt when she wore her first red lipstick. The Karen Murrell range offers long-lasting lip colours made from avocado oil, evening primrose oil, candelilla, carnauba wax, cinnamon and sweet orange.
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres Glossy Stain
Combining the texture and shine of a gloss with the longevity of a stain, this lightweight texture melts onto lips and provides an intense glossy colour. The applicator’s unique slanted tip and short soft bristles allow for flawless application with perfect precision.
Bobbi Brown x Ulla Johnson Collection - Crushed Lip Color LouLou
The Bobbi Brown x Ulla Johnson Collection features a limited-edition shade extension of the Crushed Lip Color range, in the shade LouLou. A soft, matte pigment lipstick in a vibrant orangey-red for a no-fuss, lived in pop of colour.
Max Factor Velvet Matte Lipstick
Max Factor Velvet Matte Lipstick range offers a densely pigmented matte finish and a soft, moisturising feel. The creamy formula contains reflective particles of finely milled natural mica for a smooth, matte effect.
The M.A.C Lipstick in Ruby Woo is the brand's best selling shade globally, with four selling every minute, and for good reason. With a long-wearing formulation, it provides an intense colour payoff and a completely matte finish.
Mavala Switzerland Sunlight Collection
Mavala Switzerland Sunlight Collection is a lipstick collection that matches six sun and earth inspired shades of the SOLARIS Mini Color’s Collection. The lipsticks may be used in a classic way, as well as in the manner of “bitten lips” that originated from South Korea.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible 2-Step Longwear Lipstick
This lipstick features a two-in-one application, including a lipstick base coat and a luscious gloss coat. The two-step lipstick formula of replenishing hyaluronic gel, high-intensity colour pigments and illuminating balm gives 24-hour comfort.
Tom Ford Lip Color lipsticks are enriched with soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil for a creamy texture and smooth application. Specially treated colour pigments are blended to deliver pure colour and a luminous, polished finish.
Rimmel London Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick
Designed in collaboration with Kate Moss herself, the Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick incorporates precious ruby powder to provide rich matte colour with sublime comfort. Combined with a triple blend of lightweight emollients for ultimate glide and sublime smoothness, it comes in four shades in cool matte red packaging that is signed by the supermodel.
Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Shine is a lip cream that moisturises like a balm with the shine of a gloss. It features a weightless, soft texture with bold, saturated colour and a high-shine finish.
