Lisa Eldridge 💄 #2

[thegirlscout]

I was expecting them to be her old blushes but it’s a new reformulation and shades. Hate the name ‘Meeting My Ex’ (reminds me of C Tilbury) and I can’t use dewy or balmy products on my face as they end up looking terrible. Going to be a miss for me!
Don’t understand why she’s having such problems with packaging for her old formula, sounds like she’s trying to reinvent the wheel when so many different packaging already exists which would have housed them safely and stylishly.

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

I tried one of her shimmery eye shadow pot things and it made my eyelids burn! I complained to both Selfridges and VB but nobody cared!

Charlotte Holdcroft really raves about the Chanel concealer but as she is a top Lisa fan I wonder if Lisa’s offering will knock Chanel off the top spot?

Butterfly Light seems to sit weirdly. Or is it just the light?

Might just be the light. In person it looks the same texture as the liquid just a bit less golden in colour

 

[thegirlscout]

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

 

[Missmopps]

Also wonder why Lisa has yet to add navy to her eye pencils. I purchase VB's navy which is quite nice, yet the price is a bit much. Guilty of buying so much of Lisa's products, many of which I hardly use. Yet I continue to buy things I really don't need. She's that incredible influencing imo.

Are you me? I’m enjoying the VB navy noir but I baulk at the price of it to be honest. The new Marilyn release has made me realise I need to start using my elevated glow highlighter which is at the back of my makeup drawer. I guess because I’m a combination skin and after spf thus time of year I’m glowy enough that I don’t think about adding another glow product, I’ll try it on my eyelids and cheekbones for a special party this weekend and report back. I’m tempted by the butterfly glow Marilyn but I’ve had to reign myself in and be firm in not buying any more makeup.

I usually have sensitive eyes and I'm ok. But I'm also ok with her liquid eyeshadows so that might not be much use to you!

Same! Well, I’ve had a problem (swollen eyes) with liquid lurex with metallic finish (Titanic, Angelica) but I’m ok with Eirene and Phoebe which are Liquid Silk. I haven’t figured out why though.

ETA: sorry; I wanted to reply to @Silverback

I have ordered Amanghasett and Strawberry Blonde. I do love the Velveteen formula.

 

[francesthemute]

I am tempted by Mimi, and I need a new mascara, which is pretty much all the self-enablement required to order

 

[thegirlscout]

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 would have gone for the box as it was free with £75 purchase I think but there is no guarantee it would come through the post in one piece! I have the balm highlight and I really love the image of Marilyn so it’s in its box being displayed at the moment. I think Charlotte Tilbury did it better with Norman Parkinson in the sense that the images were on the actual product.

I bought a Lisa Eldridge lurex eyeshadow yesterday in Liberty but I’m not allowed it til Xmas! I have high hopes for it.

 

[Missmopps]

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.

Ooh I’ll try that. Is it Lisa’s foundation or another brand?

 

[50sGirl]

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!

Thanks for the swatches.
I have Pink Moon but rarely use it.

 

[Wobblehead]

Ooh let us know how the VB compares to the skin tint. I’m a T6 too but have been using the 6.5 as well

I was colour matched a 4 and a 5 in VB. they were almost identical. I have gone for the 5 - will report back.

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

I finally received my balms today. Ordered 4.45 on Wednesday as site was letting me order a bit early. So glad I bothered as all those people who ordered the day after seem to have got theirs earlier ...

I only got pomegranate and cinnamon. Would anyone find swatches with some other blushes useful to compare?

Pretty sure Betty palette is coming back

Got this in an email today

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

I love the Victoria Beckham eyeliners in those colours, you might like them too. Yeah doing lilac before a taupe or a navy… questionable commercial decision? (I’d also love kitten flick in a navy)

I have the VB ones because I got sick of waiting for Lisa to release some more colours! They are very similar in texture and quality and VB has always given option of a sharpener which is a new thing for Lisa. Id jave preferred to support Lisa over VB but Im glad i didn't wait any longer. I can see how she released the lilac ones as Betty was so popular but like you say she should have had a taupe and navy already. The lilacs go with Betty. The olive with Desert Gleam, how about a navy and forest green for Sorcery?

 

[Missmopps]

I won’t be buying anything from the collection but I appreciate Lisa’s passion and creativity so I’m always interested in seeing her inspo. I’m sure there will be a video tomorrow on launch day so I’ll look forward to watching that.

I dislike the obsession with ‘weighty’ packaging. I don’t live a taxi lifestyle, I don’t want to carry unnecessary weight in my makeup bag. “High end” products literally have heavy metals stuck in them so that the packaging signifies premium status. I want refillable that don’t weigh down a pocket like that lipstick.

There was an interesting discussion about this on Fat Mascara a few years ago about how to make beauty more sustainable everyone needs to move away from the idea that weight = prestige. And I hate to say it but I do feel that when I have an object that has a bit of weight to it, it does feel more prestigious than lighter packaging.

Another one who snapped up kitten brow. I’ve been looking for a brow gel and nearly bought the rare beauty one today so the timing is really good. I'd also buy anything Lisa releases so I'm happy to pay more than I would for the rare beauty one.
