No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick

I love these lipsticks. Creamy, great nude shades (and I normally hate nudes but Caramel Silk is my jam as a pale cool toned girl).

I purchased this lipstick in Soft Tulip and it is gorgeous. It's a rosy neutral color that looks like MAC's Cosmo and Chanel's Mademoiselle. It's very creamy, hydrating, and long-lasting. It also has no discernible taste or smell. It is my new HG! I hope it is never discontinued. http://img.makeupalley.com/6/8/2/8/3039304.JPEG

Really pleased with my colours Ginger Rose - a everyday daytime colour and Deep Rust which is more of a richer everyday shade. I purchased 3 for 2, my third one is Soft Earth which I'm still getting round the idea to liking it. The colour is lovely as a swatch but comes out quite a strong pinky colour. After it wears off after a while, the colour is more my preference. I was looking for some nude matt lipsticks but as the quality of these lipsticks feel so good and supreme, I had to own at least 3 shades. I didn't need to moisturise my lips beforehand and I tend to have chapped lips. These are moisturising without looking overally slick and applies perfectly. I've been used to spending just £1 on a lipstick normally but since using these, I kinda understand now the difference in quality. Even though this is the most I have spent on a lipstick, it definitely feels worth the price to be honest (but rather dear for me to purchase again). The packaging is sophisticated and certainly a lipstick I don't feel ashamed with carrying in my handbag. It is definitely worth testing out swatches in stores yourself rather than viewing online photos. As there is definitely a difference in reality. Their selection is grand and more so in stores. I would love to own more shades from them as there is a huge variation of sophisticated nudes and reds. Although the majority never really match to their colour sticker and even swatches can give a false idea. Overall, their shades make a decent change up to my standard reds and pinks (a bit garish for me), these shades are more in between reds and pinks. Definitely fitting for my age and feel more lady like. P.S None of the colours I've mentioned are sheer but very pigmentated.

These were on sale today (buy 2 get 1 free) so I got 3 (for $20 NZD) Monaco, Coral Rose, and Rumour. Rumour is a nude... but it's so sheer it barely does anything. I wouldn't mind a little more pigmentation, but it's quite wearable. Coral Rose is a tangerine coral. Still quite sheer, but far more pigmentation than Rumour. Lovely, easy to wear colour. Monaco is a glorious fuschia pink. The most pigmented of the three, but still slightly sheer. They are all silky, easy to apply, and not drying. Very happy!! I only put that I wouldn't purchase again, as I thought these were cruelty free, but have since found out that they -may- test on animals. Dammit.

Really, really like these. They're not super cheap but they're certainly affordable, and always on offer in the UK. Fragrance free, which is big plus for me, apply smoothly and have decent pigmentation. There are loads of lovely colours as well, it's a bigger range than most chemist brands. I wouldn't say the formulation was moisturising but it's not dry. The No7 lipsticks in general are pretty drying, these are the only ones I really like. The Moisture Drench are a creme but they feel more like a soft matte to me. So long as you're ok with soft matte it's not a negative, these stay put a little better than a standard creme. The packaging is quite chunky but it does look nice.

I used the match made service they have here in the uk (not sure if they do this else where!) and went a bit over board and bought 4 moisture drench lipsticks from my chart (buy one get one half price) - soft tulip, rose berry, soft cherry and ginger rose! First things first I love all the colours I think the match made service works well and all the colours do really suit me. However, I find the formula a little difficult to get on with meaning I havnt worn them anywhere near as much as I'd like to. I also found the formula varies quite significantly between shade - soft tulip in particular I actually find unwearable! It just doesn't go on very well, drys my lips out and the colour pretty much comes straight off! It seemed to be very different to the others so I dont know if it was perhaps a faulty one but it was just awful! The others are a little better, they are moisturising to the point where they are a little greasy and I find myself reapplying every half hour to keep the colour. Il use the ones I have but I don't think I will try more colours from no.7

I work at the MAC counter in the city, so I know good quality and quantity cosmetics, so. It, makes my lips pop, like a kiss. The colour is complementary nto my skin tone shade very cool tone. I use dark cranberry-plum, A coating or two is alI I need, very satin-ey. Moisturizing, yes, drenching cool name, What a great brand from boots! I just picked a a few shades at my local Duane Reade, looking forward to some more, better than Loreal, but Stila is better quantity and quality. No comparison. Boots cosmetcs is real cover-up beauty work of art here. Master piece, foundation and primer. New favy brand- the Bare Escentuals. (Bare Minerals) is my number one favy on the top. Boots lipstick fragrance amnd smells are awesome, wanting more products, I have to re-apply after supper and meakls. Awsome plumping effects I notice, I use lipliner from Loreal or Revlon over it whoever nrand suits my mood for that day of course a matching colour to the boots lipsticks. I will buy again without a doubt definately in a few days........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boots currently have an 80th aniversary gift set, which you get when you buy two products in the No 7 makeup range. It includes a Moisture Drench lipstick in the colour of your choice. Unfortunately I didnt really like any of the colours in this range. There seems to be a lot of variation between the colour on the base of the tube and the actual lipstick - what looks like a nice coral or peach is actually a garish orange. I chose the shade Pink Lemonade, which is just a slightly pearlised light pink shade, itwould suit anybody and be fine for everyday wear. Neither too matte nor too pearlised. It feels very moisturing. I don't know if it would make your lips dry after repeated applications, but it's OK, nothing special.

I purchased this lipstick in the shade mulberry and i absolutely adore it. Its the perfect shade for my pale skin when i wanna look done up. Find this lipstick gives my lips a nice color its not too intense or not too sheer it's somewhere in between. I tend to have very dry lips and i find this lipstick adds a nice amount of moisture back into my lips. It does however come off your from the centre outwards this in turn can leave your lips badly over drawn. I use this lipstick when i'm out can get to a mirror regularly. But if it can't get to a mirror it's definitely a lipstick i tend to stay away from.

I purchased several lipsticks in the No7 range when Target started carrying the Boots' product range. I've thoroughly enjoyed the Stay Perfect for their color, although they don't stay as much as I'd like. I've enjoyed the Mineral lipsticks for staying put. I've enjoyed the Moisture Drench for, as stated, being quite moisturizing and not drying out my lips. My one complaint, however, is that (like so many other cosmetics I enjoy) they changed something about it: the packaging. The old tube, as pictured in this review, was quite sturdy. Then they changed it; the shape remains the same, but the size is a tiny bit smaller, with a thin silver-colored barrel as opposed to a sturdier gold-colored barrel. Now, both the plastic and metal portions of the barrel are much thinner and cheaper feeling. The tube doesn't rotate smoothly and seems to "catch" on some part of the mechanism. It feels less sturdy and is not nearly as pleasant to use. And the kicker is, I could see them adjusting their packaging to save money but it's just as expensive! Even Revlon or Maybelline have better packaging, and they cost only about half as much! I may end up going back to them when I run out of lipstick, if only because of the better packaging and because they are readily available, where Boots USA seems to have discontinued most/all of their lipsticks and they can no longer be found at Target. I had to order several online, when I was trying to find older stock.
