Lisa Eldridge 💄 #2

[Sideeye70]

I've ordered Paige and Silvia ... my Phoebe and Irene were almost done and I was debating which one to replace, so the timing of this drop was perfect. Trying really hard not to just go for the other two, I'm sure Maude will sell out! (I really love that she's shown all the new shades on an older model.)

I mix the highlighter into the foundation for a lighter look. I really like how it looks. I put a blob of highligher on the back of my hand with one or two pumps of foundation and mix.

I like the look of the pinky highlighter.

Dammit - you were all supposed to tell me that the sticks break and the colours are garish!

Blush is so hard to get right. I'm sure all skin tones have their blush issues, but I have pale skin and find it impossible to get a blush colour that isn't greyish or ultrabright. I don't like glittery sparkles as they just highlight my wrinkles, and cream blushes are often too opaque or too slippery and transparent. I had a horrible feeling Lisa would find the sweet spot of all these issues.

You've all convinced me, but I shall be strong and wait until I'm next near a counter to try the colours, as I also want to properly look at the Betty palette (again, after all the raves here).

I have the liquid highlighter and the new balm
They are very similar. If you have one you probably don't need the other.

Crystal nebula top, butterfly light bottom. You have no idea how many takes it took to try to get these to show up correctly (or at all) in my current lighting!

Thank you so so much! It looks lovely but I have crystal nebula and your swatches absolutely confirm that I do not need the balm as well.

I’m really surprised that’s the packaging she’s gone for. Usually Lisa’s products are more elevated in design than this. To me it feels a bit like a cheap cash grab but I get this will be an unpopular view haha

I'm underwhelmed and won't be buying anything, but then again I don't wear highlighter or glow products (my skin is on the oily side) or bright lipsticks, and I'm indifferent to Marilyn.

 

[Ponponpon]

Yeah looks like it's being applied with a lip brush....

This has me stumped. I'm stupidly proud of my guess for rouge experience "Lisa loves a lipstick case" but no idea now!

And when we guessed the lip and cheek tint being like the merit domes I did say i wouldn't be in a hurry to buy them as I have 5 of the merit ones, and I now have four of Lisa's as well so I'm perhaps not the person to comment

Oh I'm a magpie, I'll buy whatever Lisa releases regardless. LisaMagpiesUnite!

I saw this on Reddit, surely she can’t be 60!

Used the Velatura yesterday for the first time and I love it - this might be my favourite product so far. It's subtle, but somehow with just a few swipes on lips and cheeks it made me look fresh and healthy. Have to resist more colours now!

 

[Missmopps]

I hope she is working on the most beautiful refillable compact. She nailed it with the lipstick case, it’s beautiful, weighty and so elegant

 

[Ponponpon]

I have lots of hospital appointments coming up and I think I might get something from Miss Eldridge. Does the Velatura balm dry down or does it leave a sticky residue? Will my hair stick to it?

It doesn't stick. I wouldn't say it drives down either, it's more of a thing cream blush.

Hope the appointments go well.

 

[Sideeye70]

Has anyone been using the new blush sticks? What's the verdict?

Gorgeous. I've used it every day on my cheeks since I got it, and I've just ordered one for my daughter while I decide what other shade(s) to buy! It's so easy to use and although I don't usually suit a shiny, 'glowy' look this is just the perfect amount of sheen.

 

[whitershadeofpale]

Found on Reddit.

 

[50sGirl]

Not for me I’m afraid.
I like the look of the balms but my Pink Moon highlighter is my least used LE product so I know I won’t use it enough to justify buying it.

KK is an author now??

Didn’t study beyond GCSEs and according to Wikipedia she can’t always read out loud, but yeah let’s give her a spot on the shelves

 

[hehehe]

Oo have you tried much else of Victoria Beckham’s cosmetics? I’ve heard glowing reports.

Aside from the Lid Lustres and fragrance samples, I have a couple of the Satin Kajal eyeliners and they are *chef's kiss* (IMO superior staying power and usability to the Seamless Glides). Next time I'm in London I'll get them to try that £100 skin tint on me -- just for a laugh!

I don't think it’s been as popular as she expected.
The only item that’s sold out is the limited edition boxed set. Everything else is still available .
Imho the fancy outside boxes are pointless because, not being a collector, they are just thrown away.

I feel like they missed a trick commercially not doing an Hourglass-style limited edition packaging. But then I guess the risk is higher for her because basically she’s repurposed existing stock.

 

[GalofHal]

I would be a shit beauty influencer! I swatched it next to some existing similar colours too in case that helped anyone see the differences.

Thank you. Maude looks like a much lamented Calvin Klein liquid eye colour that I loved. And makes me think of my sweet colleague Maude. I feel a splurge coming on.

edit to add Mimi might also go in the basket as it too looks like a favourite CK one

The latest launches aren’t really interesting me which is good as it saves my wallet, none of the silks are colours I’d want to wear. I’m really itching for new product and innovation. The brow pencil!! Even a navy seamless eye pencil would be good! Under eye concealer. I’m still using up the pink soap enlivening blush that I decanted into a sterilised empty Bobbi Brown pot rouge container. So can wait a while longer for her new blushes. Lavender looks truly awful on me so as pretty as the Betty palette is, I’m absolutely not tempted.

I‘m desperate for LE to release an under eye concealer.
I’m tempted by the Chanel one which was released last year. It‘s got good reviews on Youtube.

 

[francesthemute]

I’m very happy to have two of the three lipsticks on their way to me but I do agree totally with the criticism too.

A proper concealer, a beautiful compact powder, and yes some more wearable eyeshadows please.

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

They've not sold out yet, but it's obvious rose madder will be the first one to sell out. It seems as popular in this launch as Ione was when the liquid silk eyeshadows were released and that sold out in a few days. Also, Lisa doesn't or can't restock very quickly so if something sells out, it's out of stock for months. That's the factor me and the other poster meant.
