As promised a while ago, here are pictures of my Blend Lipstick collection. Each Blend Lipstick is £24, and all of these were bought by either myself or Mr London as a gift for me. Compared to the Creamy Lipsticks, the Blend Lipsticks have a little shimmer and are slightly sheerer to much sheerer (for the Kirari lipsticks.) They have no scent, and are incredibly comfortable to wear; these are one of the few lipsticks I can wear without a balm underneath. Due to their emollient nature these aren't the most long-lasting of lipsticks, but they are easy to reapply.
From Moss Monochrome, 03 and 04. 03 is a brown/pink and 04 is a natural pink.
From Kirari, 06, 07, 08, 11. 06 is a very sheer orange, 07 is a sheer coral pink, 8 is a sheer beige and 11 is a sheer natural pink.
From Kokoroiro Himeaka 13, 14. 13 is a deep brown with slight reddish tones and 14 is a seashell beige pink.
From Sakurakage, 17. 17 is a candy blossom pink.
Swatches
As you can see, 06, 07, 08 and 11 are sheerer than the other shades (the Kirari collection was about the play of light on water, so all the shades were more transparent and crystalline.) 12 and 14 are quite similar to 03, except that 12 is darker and 14 is lighter. The pinkest shades are 3 and 17, and 7 and 11, which are sheerer.

They look gorgeous and I want to go and check them out! Thanks Emma :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! Do you happen to know if the products can be bought online in the uk? x
ReplyDeleteHi Emma - they're lovely lipsticks. Japanese lines tend to have quite expensive lipsticks, but the textures and colours are fantastic. Thanks for your comment :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mizzworthy - they're not sold online, but Selfridges will mail order if you phone the counter. x
These all love very pretty, but for some reason I'm especially liking the sheerer ones! Do you have/Have you tried any Suqqu glosses? I know you're more of a lipstick person, just wondering what you thought of those and if you know what they retail for! Thanks!! xx
ReplyDeletethanks for the lippy swatch, they all look so nice... too bad they dun ship intl..
ReplyDeleteHi Anna - Suqqu only has one gloss in the permanent line, which is a clear one that costs £18. They brought out a couple of gloss duos in the Marotsuya (Autumn 09) collection - those cost £20, and were very nice; they might still have them in stock, but this collection did sell very well.
ReplyDeleteHi Sizbelle - it's a shame Suqqu isn't more widely available, it is a great brand.
The lippies are really really pretty!!!
