| Lush Liquid Lips in Vibrance, Believe and Passionate |
Okay, so now I have some product in my hands to swatch, I feel I am a little closer to understanding the range. Some items I really like, such as the glass bottle mascara – I’ve never seen such a thing before and for that novelty alone I find it quite exciting. In fact, everything is in little glass bottles or jars and looks very sweet and sciency at the same time. The Liquid Lips, £14.50, come with a doe foot applicator and feel quite weightless on the lips but have a power-packed pigment and plenty of moisture.
The Liquid Eyeliner (my sample is Fantasy) below is also pretty good although I think the brush is too short for you to be able to use every last drop and there is too little flexibility in the wand to ‘scrape’ the sides. At £14.50 a time, I want to be able to use it all!
However, I really do like the Cream Eyeshadow sample I received in Sophisticated, £14.50 although I think the same problem might apply in terms of being difficult to use up when you near the end.

| Lush Emotional Brilliance Cream eyeshadow in Sophisticated |
The Eyes Right Mascara is my favourite item.. although I must say I haven’t tested it yet. I just love the chunky wand and bottle container.
Finally, in terms of things I have here to show you, the Skin Tints. I haven’t tested them out other than on my arm, but added to make up base or under your base, Feeling Younger (white) gives you an iridescent gleam without too many sparkles while Charisma (orange) gives you a healthy glow. They’re both £12.
If you’re looking for one thing to start off with from the Emotional Brilliance range, I’d strongly suggest the Liquid Lips as a great start. They are absolutely lovely formulas. However, I’m over (already) the whole colour reading thing and colour/mood significance. They’re great colours without the whole hokey hoo-ha.
Lush Emotional Brilliance launches on 21st July.

I’ve been looking forward to swatches of these! I agree with you, the Liquid Lips look great, and I’m also loving the eyeshadow.
Thanks for sharing this!
I like that the packaging is unique but their pricing seems quite high, they’re getting close to MAC and other higher end brands. When B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful was available, that was expensive and poor quality and look where that ended up… I just hope they don’t repeat their mistakes!
The cream eyeshadow looks temping but I think that mascara brush is way too short to work with! I’d probably stab myself.
Hands up all those who think Belinda earl can save Marks and Spencer? Are there any must have accessories that can be highlighted tomorrow?
great post! I guess you could use a thin paintbrush to get the remnants of eye-liner out? x
The more swatches I see, the more excited I’m getting. I, for one, loved Be Never and really missed the products so I’m hoping the new range will be as wonderful. I think the colour wheel is a pile of caca but I’m looking forward to the launch.
Wow, I need that orange lipgloss in my life! It’s beautiful, I only wish it wasn’t so expensive!
I’m still feeling rather meh about this whole launch. The liquid lipsticks look nice, but the whole things is just so gimmicky and off-putting.
Ooh, exciting! I love the colours of the liquid lipsticks and the novelty of the mascara alone makes me want to buy it.
Love the name of the range too!
This entire range looks really interesting! I’m still not convinced about the concept behind it but I’ll be looking forward to seeing more about it.

I wasn’t aware that Lush had brought out makeup items! I’m very excited to have a nosey next time I’m in the city 🙂

So pleased you’ve blogged about this. I really liked some of the B make up range. The lip tints were amazing, they had real durability without drying your kisser out. A nd the full size cream eyeshadows were MAC quality in terms of the colours that were available. I loved using them as eyeliners.
But looking at these, I am disappointed at the applicators. The sponge ones especially, they won’t allow for precise application and will disintegrate. And as you said you won’t be able to get your money’s worth I’d advise using your own applicator to ensure that. Hopefully, they’ll rethink them.
Good to see Lush branching into make up though, I will always be excited to see what they have up their sleeves.
Ooh, this is so exciting. I’ve been wishing for more Lush make-up ever since they brought out the colour supplements a few years back.
As for getting the last bits of eye shadow/ liner out, I might have to take Dolly Girl’s suggestion and get an eye liner brush.
I love the look of these! I’ve been waiting for Lush to make some proper, nicely-packaged makeup and they’ve really delivered here. I’m not a fan of eyeliner brushes like that, but I’m tempted to pick up the gold eyeliner as well as the mascara.
Swatches on your lips by any chance?
I went into lush store today and also tried several colours. I really like this series and the idea, because you can actually use every colour as a mascara using the little brush they give. Quite like them ><
Oh well thats christmas ruined 😉
