Review: Lord & Berry Cosmetics - Tulip Red & In the Black


Today I would like to share with you two items, Shining Lipstick Pencil Tulip Red & Smudgeproof Waterproof Eye Pencil In the Black, by a company that is fairly new:  Lord & Berry.


I have received these products from LookFantastic.com for review purposes.  LookFantastic is an online beauty boutique that is located in Britain.  They carry a wide range of products from hair, makeup, nail products, to perfume.  Their list just goes on and on.  Not to mention they have medium & high end brands as well.  LookFantastic is a nicely organized site putting the items into categories.  For example: Nail Polish is organized by nail color sections.  You don't have to keep going through lines and lines of colors.

Here is an example of the nail polish section, and you could see some of the brands that they carry as well:


Moreover, LookFantastic is FREE shipping worldwide!  Can you believe that?  With the brands, they carry I am truly amazed by it!  So make sure to check the company out!  You will be surprised to see what brands that they have.

Now back to these wonderful products from Lord & Berry!

The first time I heard of Lord & Berry was when Beka had mentioned it to me.  You could check her blog out and pictures of some Lord & Berry products: HERE.  I am so grateful that she mentioned it to me cause I might of found my new love for a lipstick pencil, but more about that later on in this post.

Lord & Berry has a nice sleek packaging with a black silhouette with the words "Lord & Berry" in white printed over it.

Smudgeproof Waterproof Eyeliner: #701 In the Black



This product cost about $14 and is a kohl eyeliner in black.  I found the pencil to be gentle when gliding across my lid.  You must work quickly if you would like to smudge it out a bit since it basically sets within thirty seconds.  It glides on smooth and opaque.


The black isn't a black black sort of shade, but still a black nonetheless.  I found it perfect for those days I don't want a dark black eyeshadow lining my bottomline or when I want to do a little smoky eye look.


This was done over no base at all.
I began running my arm under warm water, and let me tell you this did not fade nor smudge at all. The picture above was when I began rubbing my arm to see if it would come off.  It only faded a little bit but did not come off fully what so ever.  I actually had to take my eye makeup remover and rub over the eyeliner writing to take it awhile.

The eyeliner was used on the top and bottom.

Shining Lipstick Pencil: #7279 Tulip Red


This lipstick pencil is in the form of a chubby pencil, and cost about $12.  I have tried a chubby lipstick pencil before from another company (that I will not name) and I found it horrible.  Since then I have avoided the new craze of chubby lipsticks, until I received this.  The Shining Lipstick from Lord & Berry did not have that waxy cheap lipstick smell.  I found it to be more chocolate sort of like.  It isn't overwhelming to me at all. The Shining Lipstick Pencil Tulip Red glided on very smoothly and was very moisturizing on my lips.  It didn't give me that heavy feeling when I wore it.


It's a soft cream stick just like an actual lipstick.  So keeping it in a cool place is a must.  It melted a bit during shipping.  Not a massive amount but as you can see on the stick what happened.  Curse you SoCal heat!  Anyways!


Tulip Red pulled one over me!  I was honestly expecting it to be darker like a deep red leaning towards brown sort of shade.  But nope!

It was actually a red tulip sort of shade.  I absolutely fell in love with it!  I am usually a matte girl, but I do love some lipsticks that have shine to it.  This has high shine but not a shimmery sort of lipstick.  How amazing is the color payoff on this?

Touch up will be needed for this time to time.  I went actually four hours before I grabbed a drink and didn't have to do a re-touch up or feel like my lips were dry.  It felt really comfortable on my lips and was so surprised this was from a pencil!  If you love lipsticks, make sure to check out Lord & Berry!
