Lisa Eldridge 💄 #2

[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.

This is a really detailed review ahead of the launch this week. It's good to know it's not suitable for spot coverage, but that's to be expected if luminous I guess, but I was hoping for a matte finish.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

He kept using the word "Juicy" which he said is how Lisa described it - it's definitely not matte. I also prefer a matte finish, I've never been one for any kind of glow. I think anything light-reflecting tends to draw attention to texture and the 3-D nature of spots.

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.

Found on Reddit.

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.

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

I love the skin tint, I have it in T6, 6.5 and 7. I do find it becomes shiny on my face in this heat especially with SPF underneath. I do feel she needs to formulate the tint for oilier skin and I don’t see myself at particularly oily but I am on t zone especially summertime. I do have her foundation but even though I was matched for it in daylight at one of her pop ups (before she was in any stores) it’s not quite the right colour for me. (Shade 10) so I don’t really wear it except on odd evening.

so excited to say I managed to get a ticket to the Marilyn and Movies. Event on the 20th! They released more this morning!!

 

[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.

Purchased the Kitten Brow. Excited. If it lives up to the claims it will be a holy grail product for me and my wild crazy brows

I've bought it too. I still maintain she could release a bin bag full of kitten poop (keeping it on brand) and I'd buy it.

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

Having seen the video, I'm wondering if it is going to be the right product for me. The applicator is massive and clearly designed more for hair flyaways. I have frizzy hair and always looking for something to stop that, so it might ne that I've bought a hair product rather than a brow product.

I went on sephora and bought the rare beauty brow gel yesterday, as I didnt want to be without one just in case I don't get on with Lisa's one. However, whenever I've doubted her, and I'm having a bit of buyers' regret after ordering and before it's delivered, I've always ended up loving the product so chances are I'll have two brow gels I like!

 

[50sGirl]

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.

 

[50sGirl]

I did a quick screenshot. Apologies if you’re shade 20!
Some say “hybrid” and others “corrector”.
Looking at the image, I’m a 1.

 

[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.

 

[Missmopps]

@zcfthc5 How about listing it on eBay with a title like silverback palette then no one else will be able to find it? Silverback can then buy it for a nominal price?

 

[NotDumbNotBlonde]

I have one of the old Guerlain refillable lipsticks and cases and hardly used it as the lipstick wasn’t fantastic, and the case was just too heavy.

It was my most-regretted makeup purchase for a while, because of how expensive it was and how little I used it.

I got obsessed with "collecting" those back in the day - they are ridiculously heavy.

I'm safe from Velatura mania though - anything shiny just looks so wrong on me.

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

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

Yeah i wasn't a fan of the christmas packaging either. But at least it's a gorgeous pic of Marilyn.

 

[50sGirl]

Cant open that pic as I'm in a poor signal area, but if it's about lisa shes 54. Born 1971

I thought that but according to Companies House she was born in June 1966.
