Formulation:
With a featherlight formulation that’s both rich and pigmented, the new Burberry Lip Velvets have a fairly natural matte finish that still retains a teeny bit of sheen. The lipsticks are not drying and they have an okay wear, I get about four hours with minimal eating and drinking.
No.429 Military Red: A simple true red, Military Red is richly pigmentated with a super smooth application.
No.409 Honeysuckle: This is a very pretty soft peach pink with a great pigmentation. The color is super spring and summer friendly.

Overall:
