Shade tested: Marilyn
This lipstick is a dual-ended lip product of the same shade but with two finishes. You can wear it separately or together for an intense bold look, and the highly pigmented semi-matte lipstick glides on effortlessly for a full coverage finish. The non-sticky gloss is rich and achieves the colour coverage of lipstick on its own. This is a hydrating, conditioning and lightweight product available in 12 shades including the classic red of the collection, ‘Marilyn’, which we tested. It’s a fiery red shade, that's bold and bright on all skin tones.

GHI EXPERT VERDICT
The testers praised Lip Collision’s two-in-one product of a lipstick and a lip gloss, which performed well individually and together. The bright but opaque gloss complements the fire-red lipstick and gives a good coverage of colour. On test, 88% of testers agreed the product was easy to apply. It produces a pleasant vanilla fragrance and deep pigmentation, the product left testers lips feeling silky and moisturised. 84% said the product came with clear instructions and felt it performed better than expected based on the affordable price. It also lasted well throughout the day and after food and drink.
