As much as I love Pink lipsticks and within reason am pretty open to all colours on the spectrum, darker Raspberry tones are probably one of the least commonly worn for me. I don't feel super confident that they suit me and although I'm all for a bright Orange or the occasional Barbie Pink, the thought of a brighter bold Raspberry or Purple toned lipstick tends to put me slightly out of my comfort zone. Being the lipstick hoarder that I am, this hasn't stopped me from acquiring a fair few and although I do wear them on occasion, I don't think I've ever found a lipstick described as a Mauve that I have loved as much as this Laura Mercier Créme Smooth Lip Colour in Fresh Raspberry*.
It's described as a Bright Clean Mauve and although in the tube, just like how I found Palm Beach looked slightly different to how it appeared on the lips, it looks ever so slightly darker and not as bright as it looks on. It's very beautiful and creamy and although I do still think that like most of my Hot Pink shades it is certainly one for my more daring days, I think it will be a lovely night time shade throughout the Summer and can see some of my darker haired friends absolutely loving it.
It's super opaque and one sweep provides the most pigmented coverage which makes it really easy to use and in terms of staying power, it stays fresher looking and a lot nicer on my lips for longer than Palm Beach and Mango. Laura Mercier Créme Smooth Lip Colours are all super creamy and include Vitamin E and Pure Olive Oil in amongst the ingredients to keep lips from feeling dry and insuring they are nourished.
Fresh Raspberry is one of fourteen new Spring shades for Laura Mercier and I definitely think they're worth a look at if like me, you can't resist a lipstick.
Laura Mericer Créme Smooth Lip Colours cost £20.50 and are available to buy now online and at Laura Mercier counters in Selfridges, Space NK, House of Fraser and Liberty.
What do you think of this shade? Is a darker, brighter Raspberry Mauve shade a colour you would wear?

Wow what a gorgeous shade.. the name is so perfect for it! I think it's a fab alternative to red, which can look a bit too much sometimes. I really need to try a Laura Mercier Lipstick.. as they look so good! xxx

That is such a lovely shade, I tend to go for more orange based lip colours though, since I have yellow undertoned skin, blue hued lip shades can look out of place, Rio Rio from Topshop is my absolute favourite! But that colour looks lovely on you :)

when I'm at the Laura Mericer counter I've spotted quite a few shades I want to try out, this one looks lovely xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I love this colour so much, this is just the sort of colour I like to wear as I think it suits me better than pinks and nudes. I want, but it's a bit out of my price range :(
