Lips And Lacquer: Pure Colour Envy

Lips And Laquer on vickiarcher.com


These are something fabulous.
I recently found a new paint on lip colour – seriously, sensational.

They aren’t really called lacquer, rather Pure Envy paint on liquid colour, but I have christened them lacquer for some reason.


Not that the name matters as they are truly one of the easiest lip colours I have applied. Easy and long lasting. So long lasting, which is what I want when I wear a stronger shade. I hate the thought of the lipstick disappearing in the centre of the lips and a rather messy line remaining. Thoughts of “the Joker” from Batman spring to mind.


I have been wearing Heart Crush and Pink Zinc and cannot wait to get my hands on some of the other colours – Burnt Raisin and Naked Ambition for starters.

There is also another red called Poppy, which is on my wish list. Or there is this little trio of fabulousness for starters.


Lipstick is lipstick, I know, but these are really, really great and I have a serious crush. How a small dab of colour on the lips can make everything seem brighter is beyond me, but it works. They do.


A new lipstick for a woman is as feel good as anything.

Start with Heart Crush or Naked Ambition and let me know. I dare you to stop at one. xv


p.s forgot to say i mix them with regular matte lipstick over the top, lasts even longer.
