I bought this in SpaceNK last week, and said I would post a picture wearing it. I like the Rouge Terrybly formula very much; I do find it comfortable and positively moisturising (it adds moisture, rather than not drying out my lips). The downside of this is that I do need to use a lip brush to get a clean line, although it doesn't feather on me after it is applied and has 'set' a bit into my lips.
Torrid Rose is not quite as bright as Tom Ford Pure Pink, although it is definitely a cooler, brighter rose rather than a browned/dulled rose. I thought Pure Pink and Torrid Rose were much more different, until I swatched them side by side:
Yes, I've graduated from buying similar red lipsticks to buying similar bright pink lipsticks. Torrid Rose is slightly lighter, and also has more white pigment in the base, because on my lips it is noticeably less bright than Pure Pink.
Picture in context of the rest of my face:
It's a nicely wearable pink/rose and I'm glad I bought it. I'll definitely be having a closer look at some of the other pinks from the range.

That looks very nice, bright but not 'occasion only'. I like the sound of a lipstick that adds moisture not just acting as a barrier or sucking them dry (I'm looking at you MAC). I think the lipsticks are definitely the item that interests me most in the By Terrybly line.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only person who looks at the words By Terrybly and think "By Terribly"? Back to the lipstick, if it is moisturising I like the idea, but I am such a non-lipstick-lipstick wearer that this would be wasted on me. It looks like one of those shades where one could get away with lipstick only providing skin was perfectomundo, sadly not the case for me. Like the pics, especially your hair. Jan x
ReplyDeleteI really like this colour, still the Tom Ford pure pink had that "WOW" factor (although I might be imagining it because they do look very similar in the swatches, I guess it must be because of the different textures). x Klara
ReplyDeleteHi MB - the lipsticks are the thing I'd recommend first from the sub-line, definitely.
ReplyDeleteHey Jan - not just you, pretty much everyone thinks the name is a bit lame, including me! I've just re-Lush Hennaed my hair, and I'm still really liking it. Thanks :)
Hi Klara - Pure Pink definitely has more POW. On the hand they look similar, but the TF has more zazz on the lips. I think it's because the ByT has white in the base - doesn't show up in a swatch, but mutes the colour on the lips.
You have such a great eye for colour Grace! This is so lovely on you. I'm going to re-examine my pink lipsticks right now :)
ReplyDeleteyeah! I have the perfect black eyeliner to go with that
