Beaute is a Canadian high-end brand by a young up-and-coming makeup artist called Beau Nelson. He's launching new products slowly and cautiously, and the latest product to be launched is the Weightless Lip Creme. This was also in my parcel from my US friend, and it is a liquid lip colour that gives me full and comfortable coverage, with ingredients that are meant to be beneficial for the lips. It really is weightless; it feels like nothing on my lips, is completely fragrance-free (and paraben free too) and lasts well. This lip creme held its own against a sausage and mash dinner on the day I received it (although slightly faded it wasn't patchy or uneven.) I'm not saying it lasts all day, but I've only needed to reapply after lunch today to refresh the colour; it hadn't completely worn off, and my lips felt better at the end of the day than they did at the start of it. I don't need to use a balm underneath this product, and that's almost unheard of for me. There are other, more neutral colours in the range; I am very interested in Modern Love, a plum brown.
Lipstick Rules has written an excellent review on the Liqui-Gel Stain for lips and cheeks here. I need Fever, a reddish stain, because obviously I don't own enough red lip and cheek products already. I do already own a few of the Luminous Volume Glosses, which are very good glosses indeed - I find these moisturise and condition my lips well too.
Weightless Lip Cremes are $26 (Canadian) for 3g, and can be purchased through the Beaute Cosmetics website. I'd love to see these available in the UK - I could see them doing well at Zuneta, or in somewhere like Liberty.

Hi Grace! Yes, it definitely looks nicer with the old layout, glad you brought it back! You really crack me up with your deadpan statements "I need Fever because obviously I don't own enough red lip and cheek products already"...hahaha! This particular red looks really nice on you, of course you know well what suits you so I shouldn't think you'd buy stuff you'd end up hating! And sausage and mash? Yummy! It's raining here, so I could do with some comfort food...Oh, was forgetting: is Beau his real name? Hilarious! What else could he have done in life apart from becoming a makeup artist?? Have a great weekend, xx
ReplyDeleteHi Anna
ReplyDeleteWith trial and error I'm usually pretty good at working out what will work for me, even ordering remotely now. I do sometimes still have disasters though!
Yes, his name is really Beau, and he's a very pretty Canadian :) He used to post a lot on MUA, and he seems like a nice lad; he gives a lot of good tips and reviews, and doesn't push his own line.
I envy your home, even when it is raining. I hope you have a lovely weekend too. x
oh I really wish I could pull off reds as well as you do Grace!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good on you, great review!
I wish I have your confidence, you know I'm not brave enough to wear red lipstick! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Em - I wish I could do the pretty eyeshadow looks you do so well! Thanks for the kind comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Music - I think you either are a red l/s person or you aren't - there is no in-between :) Thanks for visiting. You have the most fantastic shoes by the way - love your latest blog post.
Thanks for posting on this....I've got full blown lipgloss envy now and it's eating away...I really tried so hard to wear red but felt so self conscious when I did that I haven't repeated the experience. People really do look at you more when you're wearing bright red lips.
ReplyDeleteHello BBB - it's a lovely brand, and the neutrals are very nice too. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour! These Weightless Lip Cremes are amazing -- I have a pink colour which is fantastic. Now I think I might have to get my hands on this colour too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out ;-)
