I have been taking full advantage of the No.7 £5 off vouchers have you? My latest purchase is one of their Moisture Drench lipsticks which I have entirely overlooked until recently but they do have a wide selection of shades so I suggest having a peek!
If you purchase often from No.7 you will be used to their plain but elegant packaging. It's simple yet effective and will suit a wide range of age groups, okay some times we may want young and funky packaging but as long as it protects the lipstick I really couldn't care less about the case.
No.7 Romantic is a light pink tinged nude shade. It does have a brown undertone that leans slightly yellow. It reminds me a little of a lighter version of MAC Faux, so if you like pink based nudes I do suggest investigating this shade further. Romantic is one of those shades you can slick on and know it will look good regardless of how you do the rest of your make-up for that day. Basically it is a really good everyday non-offensive shade.
Now the formula...well Moisture Drench gets a huge thumbs up from me! It is not often that you get a really moisturising lip shade that has great colour pay off. In my experience most moisturising shades are little more than a tinted lip balm but not the Moisture Drench formula, they hydrate yet coat your lips in a high dose of pigment.The finish of Moisture Drench is slightly glossy but not overly so it's not matte at all and they slick on with ease all the while being comfortable to wear.
I achieved around 3 and half hours of wear before requiring a touch up which isn't the best in terms of wear time but giving how moisturising the formula is, I can over look a little extra touch up here and there.
Product Summary
Round Up - A lovely day to day pink tinged nude with a lovely hydrating formula.
Best For - Those who like their lipsticks to moisturise as well as add colour.
Pigmentation - (8/10) Really great for such a moisturising formula.
Availability - Boots and Boots.com
I used to have a Moisture Drench in a shade that didn't suit me - this one is gorgeous! I've always looked at MAC Faux, so this may be a great alternative :) I love your posts Adrienne!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) yes and much cheaper haha :) x
DeleteThats a lovely colour!!
ReplyDeleteI only wish Boots had more shops in Holland, I have to drive like an hour for the nearest by Boots (and its still a tiny store and online they hardly have lipsticks).
ah that really does suck :( I didn't know Holland even had a boots! x
DeleteWe have them since a year I believe? They are very very small and mostly pharmacy and not have many beauty stuff.
DeleteAhh I see perhaps they will expand and with that carry more lines of cosmetics? Here's hoping anyway :) x
DeleteThat's a lovely nude pink shade! I wish we had No. 7 here. =(
ReplyDeleteThank you :) ah I heard the US had got some little concessions in target etc? x
DeleteWhat a gorgeous colour. I love that you've said that it is moisturising- I really hate too matte lipsticks

go for it :) they have lots of shades :) x
DeleteSo, I've actually seen some No 7 lipsticks here in the states lately!! But I'm so unfamiliar with their colors that I wanted to research them first. <3 This is definitely on my buy list. It looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news :) thank you it is such a nice muted shade :) x
DeleteI got this shade when it was a new addition to the No7 Moisture Drench lippys, using a £5 off voucher back in the summer - and I still love it now. Totally agree with you, it's the kind of shade you can slick on with the knowledge that it wont clash with your makeup or look dodgy in any way really! I love how its not a frosty shade too.
