I’m back on the grid and here’s a bit of a photo dump from dinner last week but also, @charlottetilbury launched lipsticks in all new colours and I can’t help but wonder if they’re thinking of the “lipstick index”. This is the idea that consumers buy more lipstick when times are tough instead of other expensive items. You might not want to get the latest perfume, but a lipstick seems like a small indulgence and disappears into your purse without you having to think about it. There are economists that say that the lipstick index theory doesn’t really hold up today and some research is saying that actually fragrance is a leading category in sales right now.
Anyway, I love a new lipstick and my secret is that the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks don’t stick to Invisalign, but it’s not a secret anymore. You can swipe to see swatches on my skin, and my favourite colour is Candy Chic which is the creamy glossy pink. The shimmery frosty pink (Icon Baby) is giving mob wife, and the reds are reds. I need to try them on to see which ones make my teeth look whiter because really, that is the main point of wearing a red lipstick, and if your teeth don’t look insanely white then what is the point?
The glossy lipsticks are the K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Fallen from the Lipstick Tree formula and the other ones are Matte Revolution lipsticks which is a nice creamy matte formula. They don’t tug on your lips at all and apply really smoothly.
You will see me later this week for some swatches.
