A good few months ago my future sister-in-law waltzed into our house sporting lovely luscious lips - she is quite a bit younger than me though so this isn't totally surprising! Of course the beauty blogger in me had to ask where she got them from so I could go out and get some for myself ...! And that's how I ended up with the No7 BB Lips in Blush Pink ...
The No 7 BB lips is meant to provide 3 benefits in one tube - nourishment, SPF15 protection and a hint of colour. Dead easy to apply from the little squeezy tube with it's angled applicator, it feels like a balm and looks like a lip-gloss but without the 'sticky-lip' thing (how many years did I walk around with sticky lips - did you?!). I went for Blush Pink as I can't seem to do gloss paired with full on colour (just me) so this is ideal as it's pretty sheer. It does look quite bright in the above swatch, but as I guess my own lips are a bit darker, once on it ends up like 'my own lips' with a bit of that juicy 'just bitten' thing? Keeps 'em feeling moisturised and plumped and the added SPF is a definite bonus, especially for the Summer months. It's all about a dewy, natural looking pout and it's a great little product to pop in your handbag for everyday wear, you know when you want a bit of something you can stick on without having to use a mirror! Clearly I did not look in the mirror though before I took this pic as my specs are all over the place!
And speaking of pouts, I cannot do that thing. Others can pull it off but try as I might I am just not a 'pouter' and end up looking like a complete pratt (as you can see below) - it's one of life's great mysteries to me - please read on for your own amusement!
a) I need the loo b) I'm constipated or c) I have trapped wind! Take your pick!
BB Lips cost £9/11ml tube, I guess now would be a good time to get one with all the No7 money off vouchers floating around! Have you tried the No7 BB Lips? What's your favourite balm/gloss product? And most importantly - can you pout in it?

So funny Jen & your lips do look lush in this! X
ReplyDeleteThanks Nic, I don't think my lips have ever been described as lush! xx
DeleteI've been using this (in the same shade too!) for a couple of years, I love it! I always stock up when the vouchers are on too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your pouting photos btw :D xx
It's a great shade for everyday Sarah - no wonder you keep stocking up! xx
DeleteOoh another thing for me to consider. I like anything which is a wash of colour. I've not spotted these before. I'm still on a Burts Bees fix at the moment so when that runs out (takes me forever to finish anything), I'll bear this one in mind.
ReplyDeleteI think it takes me longer to finish anything Sue - have so many on the go at once! x
DeleteHa! Too busy admiring the colour & your fresh face Jen! I like gloss in the Summer! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea! The make up must be doing it's job as I feel anything but fresh! xx
DeleteThis looks lovely on you Jenny! Haha I'm no good at pouting either!! xx
