I have wanted this shade ever since I saw the press releases way back when.
But of course the best shades always sell out fast...you snooze you loose
and in my local Superdrug they take forever and a day to restock
so you can imagine the shrill giddy school girl type scream I let out when I say it glaring back at me today!
Let me fill you in quickly about Look Beauty, it is the brain child of Look Magazine,
a percentage of every sale goes to The Look Good Feel Better Charity
and each item is packaged in pretty boxes adorned with an Ashley Isham print.
While I'm on the subject of packaging Loud Lips Lipstick come in sharp geometrical packaging
that close with a magnetic closure...really handy when you are in a rush as they just snap shut.
They are not the daintiest of lipsticks but they look the part
and are easy to grip due to their size, brilliant if you have chubby hands like me.
The silver cases also have the Ashley Isham print embossed upon them.
Rock Candy is a bright blue based cerise pink which has drawn comparisons all over the blogging
world to Mac Candy Yum Yum - sorry ladies this is not a dupe but I guess somewhat similar.
As you may know by know a blue under tone equates to it being cool in tone
but will also help to make your teeth appear a little whiter.
The lipsticks are quite scented, to me it rings of talc/baby powder it is not unpleasant
nor is it detectable once worn but still something I felt that was worth noting.
In bullet form Rock Candy looks super bright, to some this may even be slightly scary
but once on the lips the shade is much more toned down.
The colour pay off is fair and buildable so if you prefer a bolder lip you can apply more layers
without it bleeding and looking horrendous like so many shades can.
Rock Candy has a slight sheen finish and is fairly moisturising to wear,
it glides on with ease and feels light on the lips.
In terms of wear I get around 3 hours of wear before needing to re-apply.
Product Summary
Round Up - A bright blue based pink lipstick that has a slight sheen finish.
Best For - Those who like bright pink shades in the vain of Mac Candy Yum Yum.

ReplyDelete@claire - mine is slow too...so annoying! x
ReplyDeletei love how bright this is! i really want to try some of the look products because all the blog posts i've read about them look brilliant. my superdrug is tiny though so don't think i'll ever get any good MUA, Look or Fashionista stuff xx
ReplyDelete@caroline - oddly mine is a really small branch too but stocks it so weird! I hope that Look Beauty goes online and soon so more can get their hands on it :) x
