[unpaid/sample] Continuing on through the samples sent to me by Mary Quant, I’m focussing on the lipsticks today. There are 36 shade of which I have five, but they’re a very, very pleasant five! The texture is lush – soft, balmy, sheeny and comfortable. Not dissimilar to the glisting balm I featured the other day but with more pigment. On the subject of pigment, these are softly pigmented – there’s no drama to them and that’s the joy that makes them the easiest of wears.

The shades don’t have names – they’re numbers. So from left to right, it’s B04, P01, R04, P04 and R09. The formulas are cream or sheer.

So, they’re all easily wearable with a pink or neutral vibe to them. My favourite thing about them is the texture which makes me feel like I’m wearing balm – my favourite of all things! They’re £28 each HERE. There’s a selection of matte, cream and sheer – I definitely want to look at more shades, and of course, to see if there is a Rene Pink dupe in there.

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] The brand new lipsticks from Kure Bazaar are very much living up to expectations. I’m going to flag up my one and only criticism first – that the lipsticks themselves don’t have the colour names on the labels. They’re on the box but it’s a fantasy to think that they’ll always be kept in their boxes and if you’re as forgetful as me, this is an issue! Other than that, I’m all in on these, particularly the satin and balm textures.
Kure Bazaar Lipsticks
The saturation level is excellent – amazing, in fact and all the more so in that the formula is 100% natural (and vegan, obvs) with cranberry (organic, but don’t see the point unless everything else is), wild mango, pomegranate, shea butter, cocoa butter, argan oil and coconut oil which is a very pleasant-on-the-lips line up. In the picture above, it’s Couture (matte). Lipstick (satin), Rose Punk (balm) and So Vintage (satin).
Kure Bazaar Lipsticks
In the first picture, it’s So Vintage in satin and I think it has a really good amount of sheen to it, and the second is Lipstick, again, a satin, and I absolutely love this colour (if not the rather imperfect application in the shot!).

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Couture in the first picture to matte lovers – such an impact! The second picture is Rose Punk balm – a kind and easy wear. I got a bit of a fragrance shot that reminded me of Estee Lauder 1990’s lipsticks – that slightly waxy sweet floral but they’re not high fragrance by any means and it’s natural origin fragrance.
Kure Bazaar Lipsticks
Better yet, they’re refillable. Each lipstick comes with a little reclaimed denim sleeve so you can keep it shiny if you wish. Refills for the 28 shades will be available shortly – the price for the lipstick is £32 HERE but obviously refills will be less.

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Gosh, these launched in the ‘missing years’ and although I’ve featured them before in 2021, they suddenly went crazy on TikTok earlier this year and getting hold of them was nigh on impossible because they sold out overnight. I’ve got a re-stock (and I’ve no idea what happened to my first 2021 samples because I liked them back then) to show you because I think they’re great value and behaving far more expensively than their actual cost.
Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipsticks
In the line up from left to right are: Beaming Strawberry, Dewy Peach, Dazzle Me Pink and Toasting Glasses. I’m just going to show each one on me below. Texturally, they’re like butter on the lips – so smooth, so shiny and I think, incredibly flattering particularly if like me you have creased lips.
Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipsticks
I love this shade, Toasting Glasses. It’s my favourite I think because it’s so different for me but still looks pretty good I think for a neutral. Getting hold of them is still a bit of a nightmare – this one is on Amazon – it’s £8.99 HERE.
Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipsticks
This is Beaming Strawberry and I’m really happy with this creamy baby pink shade. It’s also £6.49 HERE.
Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipsticks
Less keen on Dewy Peach – it doesn’t seem to have the same level of saturation as the others for some reason, but if peach is your passion, you’re out of luck unless you try stores (Boots, Superdrug or Sainsburys).
Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lipsticks
This is Dazzle Me Pink – I think my least favourite – it’s just got some blue notes that I don’t think suit my tone very well. However, there aren’t any of those available on line either. It’s very frustrating – I nearly didn’t post this but if you are in any of the stockist stores, at least you’ll know what to look out for if you like any of them. It’s not simple to ‘make more’ – I am sure Revlon are tearing their hair out trying to get more made but factory runs are booked months in advance – they just have to wait for their slot. Anyway, I thought it was worth a refresh now I have more colours. Happy weekend, all 🙂
