The ultimate luscious lip service

FRESH-FACED, girly glamour was all over the catwalk for this summer, with bon-bon tones, pastel pinks and nearly nudes all seen at Alberta Ferretti, Lanvin, Christopher Kane and at Burberry.

With lips increasingly seen as part of the fashion wardrobe, new from British brand Burberry comes the fabulously fashion-conscious Lip Mist Collection, nine sheer lip shine shades that capture the season’s prettiest looks.

You can either wear them as an everyday lip shine, or pat on for a natural stain of colour, or you can use it as a hydrating lip treatment, thanks to moisture-locking wild rose.

Each costs £22.50, available to buy online at www.harrods.com.

KEEP lips looking smooth and glossy all day and all night long with Lush’s It Started With A Kiss lip tint. Made with a tasty blend of fresh apple infusion, cinnamon and shea butter, pop in your clutch purse or beach bag. Like all of Lush’s products, it’s made only with fresh and natural ingredients, which is especially important when you’re bound to digest at least a little of it. Plus it comes in a handy, no-nonsense Lush tin. Great for planes, too. It costs £5.25 for 10g

TAKING their inspiration from iconic Babushka dolls, these adorable, ultra-cute little Russian Doll Lip Balms come in three mouth-watering flavours – cherry, apple and vanilla – perfect for your handbag (colourful and easy to find, too). Also excellent for the bach and on holidays and, of course, as gifts or party favours for little girls of all ages.

They cost £2.99 each from the Lip Gloss Company, which is available at www.madbeauty.com.

NEW on counter this month comes Korres Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipstick, which combines the staying power of a lipstick with the lightweight feel of a gloss.

Raspberry oil is rich in vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant with great regenerating action, so perfect for mending and smoothing. It is also one of the greatest sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and helps protect against UVA and UVB radiation.

There are six shades including rose, natural purple, fuchsia and nude beige, and each costs £15, from stockists on 0870 850 3868.
