GHI EXPERT VERDICT
Defined by our expert as a versatile, cherry red lipstick, this has a glossy shine. It feels instantly and naturally moisturising as well as hydrating for the lips throughout the day. Our testers said it's light in texture, even in consistency and wearable with a staying power that lasts the day. Some commented on the great colour of the stain left once the initial application had faded at the end of the day. 90% said the product was easy to apply to their lips from the bullet and they found the ‘beautiful’ colour even brightened their smile.
