Burberry MILITARY RED Lip Velvet Long-Wear Lipstick Swatches & Review

October 15, 2012

I blame Messy.  I need another red lipstick like most people need an extra hole in the head, but when I saw Burberry Military Red No. 310 Lip Velvet Long-Wear Lipstick on Xiao over at Messy Wands it took me all of about 3 seconds to go to Nordstrom.com and order it.

What Nordstrom has to say about Burberry Lip Velvet Long-Wear Lipstick:

Explore velvet intensity with Lip Velvet Long Wear Lipstick.

Burberry innovation brings a new finish for lips: a velvety matte radiance, inspired by the most opulent of English fabrics. Iconic pigments provide incredibly dense and luminous color, gel technology gives comfortable long-wear performance, while triglycerides and wild rose continuously hydrate. The result is effortlessly elegant, protective and breathable.

Tips: Apply Lip Velvet with fingertips for a natural stain of color or use with a Lip Definer Pencil for a more polished elegance.

Military Red is a true and saturated red (swatch photos taken outside in natural lighting).  It’s not quite matte… but not quite satin either.  It’s the most peculiar formula, but totally wearable.  I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s moisturizing, but it won’t dry out your lips.

This wears well for about 5-6 hours and will leave a slight staining on the lips.  I’m really impressed and am definitely going to go for a wine shade for the cold weather months.

Burberry Lip Velvet Long-Wear Lipstick retails for $30.00 and is available at Nordstrom.

    Wow, that is one expensive lipstick lol. It looks like you definitely need lip liner with this otherwise it’ll run! And it really reminds me of MAC’s Russian Red! Thanks for the review 🙂

      Oh man… It’s definitely expensive… not the most tho lol which is actually more scary than anything else. Urban Decay makes a really good clear lip liner (I think it’s called Ozone) that would be perfect!
