High shine, high colour: Armani Beauty Ecstasy Mirror Lip Lacquer
When it comes to lip products, I prefer them to be on the matte side, however, every now and then I’ll apply something with a little shine.
For those looking for a lip product that packs a punch in colour, moisture, and some shine, then take a look at Armani Beauty’s new Ecstasy Mirror Lip Lacquers (C$49).
These new lip lacquers from Armani Beauty are a take on their original Ecstasy Mirror Lip
Glosses, but provide more pigment to the lips. These are designed to give you intense colour with a single stroke and supposed to leave your lips feeling hydrated for up to 10 hours.
Available in 10 shades, these products feature a Light Feel System Technology, which means that once applied they are very lightweight on the lips. You apply them via a pointed-tip applicator so you can outline your lips first and then fill them in.
Armani Beauty sent me four of the 10 to try out, 101 Beyond (beige), 400 Four Hundred (red), 402 Ecstasy (dark red), and 502 Culmination (pink). I actually was quite happy with the colour selection and the fact that it wasn’t a collection of all reds (you guys know I love a good nude).
I will say that these go on very pigmented and feel very comfortable on the lips. The colour does last a fair amount of time, but you do feel them once applied since they have a bit of a tacky texture, and they wouldn’t do very well under a mask (because we have to think about these things now lol). If you are going somewhere where you don’t have to sport a mask, then I would look into applying these (or apply them when you get to somewhere where you can take the mask off).
I really like the texture of these and especially how they are super moisturizing. At $49 a pop, they are very expensive, however it’s Armani Beauty we are talking about here, so I feel like the price justifies the brand. They do feel very luxe and I would say they are a special occasion lip product and would look into picking up one or two up if you are looking for a new treat.
Will you try out the new Armani Beauty Ecstasy Mirror Lip Lacquers?
