Burberry Coral, Clemetine, Coral Pink Kisses Sheer Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Coral (257)
Burberry Coral (257) Kisses Sheer Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a bright, medium coral with warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had medium coverage in a single layer, which built up to nearly opaque pigmentation with two layers. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and creamy with moderate slip–enough that I could feel the product move if I pressed and rubbed my lips together, though it didn’t leave streaks behind when I did so. There was a bit of product that gathered in my lip lines but wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The lipstick could have applied a bit more evenly, as it didn’t seem to adhere as well to the inner area of my lips. It wore well for four hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview
$34.00/0.11 oz. - $309.09 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "buildable colour" with a "satin finish" and "continuous hydration." They have medium, buildable coverage with some shades having more semi-opaque, buildable coverage. I found that "a layer" depended on the shade, as some seemed to go on more heavily--and looked more like a cream finish--and others were more emollient, a bit thinner, and translucent and had more of a stained-like finish. The brand recommended "two to three" layers for more "intense depth and vibrancy." For all swatches, I applied two layers, and in each shade's respective review, you'll find the coverage range described. Generally speaking, though, they definitely weren't ultra-sheer in one layer; two layers was only needed for more opaque coverage with most shades.
The consistency was more emollient with noticeable slip, which made it easy to apply across my lips, but they can feel like they're melting as you apply. In my experience, this can lead to over-applying product, so it's just something I'm more aware of while applying this type of formula to ensure that I don't layer on too much product. Most shades applied evenly, but a fair number of them had slight settling--the kind that I can see in the close-up photos but not so much just looking in the mirror--to more noticeable settling in my lip lines due to how much slip the formula had. The slip made them comfortable, like a juicy lip balm, and the hydration was there throughout wear and my lips didn't feel dry or tight for hours after the color had worn off. They lasted between three and five hours on me with some of the richer, deeper hues leaving behind subtle stains.
There wasn't any noticeable scent or taste. Burberry's lipstick cases close magnetically, which I've found keeps the caps on very securely and ensures that it always closes when you put the cap back on!

Clementine (261)
Burberry Clementine (261) Kisses Sheer Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a light-medium coral with warm undertones and a glossy sheen. It had buildable coverage from semi-sheer (one layer) to semi-opaque (two layers) but a third layer didn’t contribute much added opacity. The consistency was smooth, creamy, and balm-like–emollient–and very lightweight. The color went on evenly, but there was slight product that gathered in my lip lines after I applied it. This shade stayed on well for three hours and was hydrating over time.

Coral Pink is amazing! But that presents a dilemma. I had been consciously planning on buying MAC See Sheer next month, however Coral Pink is a listed dupe, so I likely wouldn’t need both. The catch is, finding a counter with the full range of this Burberry formula so that I can try this on to see how it looks on me! So far, only Wal-Mart online has all the shades. Weird, huh?
Wally has Burberry? Seriously? I find that odd. If you are getting a Burberry product, why would you get it from a lower end place, a place that no one thinks to look for it? You’d get it somewhere there would be a big turnover. You can’t tell me it’s cheaper at Wally, otherwise EVERYONE would buy Burberry there. Very weird indeed.
Yeah, I was fairly stunned to see these on their online site, KJH. Would never have found that out except for the fact that one of the shades I intend to buy wasn’t in any of the links, so I Googled it, and there it was at Wally World, of all places! As for the price, I don’t remember off the bat. Pretty sure it was the same? I was just so thrilled to find the shade that I didn’t notice.
Coral pink is lovely and looks beautiful on you, Christine! Thank you for reviewing ?
