I mentioned last week when I reviewed touch in SOL Pretty Filter Waterglow cream (here) that there was a whole lot of newness coming from this amazing brand and today sees the turn of the Metallist Liquid Foil Lipstick Duo Collection. I have five shades to share with you and whether you like to stand out from the crowd or go unnoticed, there will be a shade right here for you, it just depends how you choose to wear it!
Penny, Jasmine, Sophie, Dyllis and Bonita come packaged inside clear see-through tubes and what I love is that you can not only see the shades, but you can also see the foil too. Each side has an applicator which ensures the liquid lipstick and the foil don't become mixed together.
If you are familiar with products like this, touch in SOL also do amazing Metallist Liquid Foil and Glitter Shadow too (review here) then using them is really easy. The advice is to apply the liquid lipstick and allow it to sit for a minute until it becomes quite tacky to the touch, at this point, you apply the foil on the top.
On the left is the liquid lipstick applicator which has a doe foot to make the application easy and on the right, if the foil applicator which is a slightly different shape, but it works perfectly with the textures.
The Liquid lipstick looks amazing on its own and I find it is perfect day wear, then for going out in an evening, re-apply and add the foil to really make things come to life.
What I love about these Foil Lipstick Duo's is that they are not drying and don't leave your lips as though they might crack if you smile, instead they feel hydrated and moisturised and the foil doesn't scratch or dry tight. From the swatches above, you can see just how amazing each of the shades look with or without the foil, though my personal favourite is to use the foil on top of course. So with the swatches, the furthest part if the liquid lipstick, in the middle is the foil and the third swatch is both the liquid and the foil together.
I have loved getting to know these shades. Bonita is the one I feared the most because she is so bright whether you use her alone or with the foil but it is a beautiful shade. The ones I have worn the most, which will come as no surprise is Dyllis, Jasmine and Penny, all of whom sit within the comfortable nude/neutral section and I like that I can mix and match the foils as I see fit. These are some of the longest lasting liquid lipsticks I have used and once your chosen shade has dried, there is no transference, it doesn't fade quickly and even with the foil, it lasts a good 5-6 hours.
The touch in SOL Metallist Liquid Foil Lipstick Duo's are priced at £20 each and you and you can find them at Boots.
I would love to know if anything from touch in SOL grabs your attention!
