Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet Review & Swatches
Hey friends!I was fortunate enough to receive this box of Burberry's new Liquid Lip Velvet & a few other items from their makeup line, complimentary from Influenster. In exchange I am offering my honest review of the products. I have also included some A1 selfie outtakes at the end of this post & links to all the makeup used for my look, so get ready.
Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet & Lip Definer
Pictured above are the two shades I received. Left is Bright Plum No. 49 & right is Fawn No. 5 (a brownish nude). I love both of them, but Bright Plum is my favorite. It's definitely not a color I could see myself using everyday, but it's gorgeous for a special occasion. Fawn is beautiful, but too brown for my taste & felt a little harsh for my skin tone. It looked good in person but not so much in photos. Therefore I have not included a pic wearing this color, because it just makes me look like I have poop lips, so you're welcome for that visual. A great every day alternative for me would probably be the Fawn Rose No. 9 . Gorgie 5000 (gross, who am I?)I was also sent a Lip Definer in Bright Plum Here are a few photos using both the liner & liquid lip in Bright Plum:
Pros:
- Great formula, much less drying than other liquid lips I've tried (like Stila, NYX or the Kylie Lip Kit)
- Rich pigment.
- Lots of colors for various skin tones/desired looks.
- Fades without cracking, so it leaves a nice stain.
- Doesn't smudge all over my face after eating.
Cons:
- Does transfer & fade throughout the day.
- Is $34, so not necessarily budget friendly, but worth it if you find an everyday shade.
Here's a photo of first application:

Fresh Glow Highlighting Luminous Pen
This was my favorite FAV-O-RITE part of this complimentary kit. I am not a huge fan of highlight because I have combo skin that tends to shinnne like the top of the Chrysler building all on its own, but I love this little miracle stick. It gives a perfectly fresh glow & is easy to apply. I applied a small amount to my forehead, nose, chin, above my cheekbones, cupids bow & to the inner corners of my eye for a little shimmer.
I kept the rest of my face pretty simple because this lip is so dang bold for me & I have linked all other products used, below. TBH this Bright Plum makes me feel like a boss while wearing it even though the lower half of this photo is just me in my pajamas. #liveauthentic
