Lisa Eldridge Go Lightly & Love of My Life Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colours Reviews & Swatches
Go Lightly
Lisa Eldridge Go Lightly Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft, pink-coral with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-sheer (one layer), buildable pigmentation to about semi-opaque coverage (two to three layers), as described.
The texture was lightweight, thin without being clingy or uncomfortable to wear, and had more of a subtle, balm-like slip–it glided easily across my lips but didn’t feel wet or slippery when worn. It was less forgiving of any imperfections in texture of my lips, so I’d highly recommend exfoliating your lips prior to applying, but it went on evenly without streaking, even along the edges, and had only the barest amount that pulled into my deeper lip lines. This shade stayed on well for four hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have semi-sheer, somewhat buildable coverage with an "ultra modern, comfortable, and luxurious texture" that "feels smooth, light, and pleasurable on the lips." The pigmentation was semi-sheer and buildable, as described, with semi-opaque coverage achieved after two to three layers of product.
The lipstick had a smooth, waxier, balm-like feel, so it had a thinner consistency and glides on easily. The texture was prone to catching on any imperfections I had on my lips, and I had to ensure my lips were well-exfoliated prior to applying. The waxiness helped prevent some transfer onto glasses, too. It has a lightweight feel, is comfortable to wear, and was lightly hydrating over the four hours they lasted for. There was no discernible scent or taste.

Go Lightly
LELimited Edition. $36.00.
Love of My Life
Lisa Eldridge Love of My Life Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a natural finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation in one layer, which was as marketed, and it was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with two to three layers (also as described). The texture was lightweight, thin without being clingy or uncomfortable, and glided across my lips without tugging as it had a waxier, balm-like feel to it (so not “wet” or “slick” but emollient enough). The color went on evenly, and there was the smallest amount of product in my deeper lip lines. This shade was a little more forgiving of any imperfections in my natural lip texture compared to Go Lightly (lighter shades are usually less forgiving). It wore well for four and a half hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Your hair looks wonderful!
Thanks, Chesca!
Nice! I ordered “love of my life” (only time I broke my no-buy 2019, no regrets yet!) and I am wondering whether I should have also taken a chance on “go lightly”. It’s her lipstick tribute to Audrey Hepburn!
However, I have never met a coral or salmon colored lipstick I could pull off.
can’t wait to get my lipstick! Thanks a lot for the swatches!
Honestly, if you don’t like corals, I don’t know that it would change your mind. It definitely runs pinker than peach/orange, but it’s still more coral than pink!
I’m so excited for these! Really stunning shades. I purchased Love Of My Life and Skyscraper Rose but they haven’t shipped yet. Supposedly some shipments have been delayed. Guess I’ll have to wait a bit longer than everyone else to get mine!
Hope they ship soon, Natalie!
Love Of My Life looks identical to a rose lipstick I used to wear to death when I was considerably younger. One that my Mom always told me looked absolutely perfect on me, that it was my best color besides red or burgundy.
Nostalgia can be a powerful influence, CT Glowing Jen also makes me think of that old lipstick of yesteryear!
Must be why we see so many throwback collabs!
I ordered go lightly (still waiting to get) & I am so excited! It looks lovely on you. I am really regretting not ordering “Love of my Life” and an extra go lightly LOL
Can’t wait for you to receive your order, Sami! Let us know how you like it.
Love of My Life gave me actual shivers. How beautiful!
Wow! That’s impressive!
Go Lightly looks so absolutely stunning on you. Oh my goodness, it just makes you glow and look so alive and happy.
I love the look of both of these. I am sure that Go Lightly is not a shade I can pull off due to more pigmented lips but it sure is a gorgeous shade and looks amazing on you, Christine. I am waiting for the original reds to release so that I can jump on them this time around.
I love the semi-sheer, glossy finish with these perfectly crafted colors. The embossing on the bullets is cute as heck.
Go lightly is so pretty… can’t wait to get mine!
These colours look gorgeous on you Christine! I’m so glad I ordered these lipsticks.
Sephora lipstick in Slay (18) seems a very close dupe for Go Lightly! I keep getting an error when I try to submit the dupe. But using your compare feature they look very close – the Sephora is a bit brighter. I own the Sephora one and thought I would compare them. I really love that Sephora formula, plan to buy more shades!
It’s already on the Dupe List that’s why you can’t submit it!
Really pretty shades of pink and the coral one is lovely.
Hi Christine! I’m so excited for these lipsticks; the summer pinks looks gorgeous! Do these have any discernible fragrance/scents? I’ve gotten one for my mom, and hopefully they aren’t heavily perfumed!
Hi Tina,
Please check under “Formula Overview,” which gives an overview of the formula in general – e.g. things that would be consistent across shades, big picture of how the range performs, etc. I wrote: “There was no discernible scent or taste.”
Love these shades! I’ve been wanting to try them ever since their release on Tuesday. Go Lightly looks extremely similar to my YSL Rouge Voluptè Shine Lipstick in Corail Intuitive.
Love of My Life turned out to be a lot more subtle than I guessed looking at the bullet; seems like a great, safe-but-definitely-noticable, almost-anybody-can-wear-it shade.
Thank you so much Christine! It’s my first reply on Temptalia ? I bought Go Lightly and it looks stunning, I’m sooo,excited to use it!
I’m wondering whether YSL Rouge Pur Couture Corail Urbane (51) could be a possible dupe for Go Lightly? Because it looks pretty similar ?
It’s definitely similar – maybe a bit lighter/less pink (a bit warmer)!
I have been looking for a wedding lipstick for a while now and think Love of My Life might just be perfect.
now i’m kind of sad i passed on love of my life. it’s so pretty
I ordered all four of her pinks and am most excited for these two – I love balmy/glossy textured lippies and hope these wear a little longer than most. And especially excited for the Audrey-esque shade!!!
I am looking for a comparison between Go Lightly and Revlon Pink in the afternoon
Do you think Nars Audacious Lipstick in “Juliette” is a dupe for Go Lightly?
