Scarlett is from the Icons of Beauty line of lipsticks by Julie Hewett. It is described as a bright rosy fuchsia, and I'd generally agree with that description although I would add 'with a fine, cool mauve shimmer' to it.
Swatch:
Applied on my lips, you can see the shimmer more clearly. It's an opaque lipstick that gives good coverage with one swipe, yet is comfortable on the lips. Like other Julie Hewett lipsticks, it has a subtle natural (non-sickly) rose scent.
I'd prefer this without the shimmer personally, but I prefer cream lipsticks to shimmer generally. It's a very cheery and bright colour, and a good alternative to Tom Ford Pure Pink if you don't want to spend that much on a lipstick (although the Tom Ford is a cream texture and slightly less blue-based). Julie Hewett products are available from www.juliehewett.net (US) and www.misebeauty.com (Ireland and UK).

How to say it? Too fuscia? Though this kind of colour looks good in a foggy weather, it can brighten up the day :).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color, exactly my cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteWow, I think you've done really well to pick up that fine shimmer in the photo! Beautiful colour, but I'd prefer it without the shimmer too.

That's a nice colour. I do prefer creams too but that is a very cheery shade.
ReplyDeleteHi Goya - I need to be in exactly the right mood for this colour, but on a dreary day it is good :)

Hi Dempss01 - I think you're either a shimmer person or not, and I do prefer without. It's a lovely colour though.

I think one of your advertisements caused my internet browser to resize, you might want to put that on your blacklist.
ReplyDeleteHello anon - can you identify which one please? The adverts are through google adsense and are a set dimension, so they shouldn't have done that.
