Like many girls, I do love to play with cosmetics. I have a weird face, and always thought lipstick made me look silly, so I've always opted for lip gloss over lipstick. I received a surprise shipment of lipsticks from Borghese and had a minute of, "Ohhh. I don't know if these are going to work for me." Curiosity got the best of me, and soon I found myself sitting in front of my mirror, tearing into the packages, then having a blast experimenting with each color.
I was sent 6 gorgeous shades, and the colors are just as lovely as their names.
Escape, Beyond, Dare, Release, Swoon and Edge. I sampled from each, and was pleased to see that I loved the way they glided easily onto the lip without a lot of pressure. The lipstick didn't feel overly sticky or tacky, nor did it leave my lips looking dry. The darker colors were a little too dramatic for my skin tone, but I fell in love with the hint of color I got from Release, Swoon and Edge.
There are 12 beautiful shades to choose from. Just enough to find the right shade for your tone without feeling overwhelmed by too many color choices. Borghese stands behind each of their cosmetics, offing a Borghese Beautiful Guarantee. If you aren't fully satisfied with your purchase, return within 30 days for a refund or exchange.
Not only does Borghese offer these quality cosmetics, they have an extensive
line of creams, serums, cleansers and mud masks! If you would like to
learn more about all the fabulous products Borghese has to offer, be
sure to visit their website.
Do you prefer neutral toned lip color, or do you think bolder is better?
A friend of mine also likes this brand. (smile).
ReplyDeleteI love their other cosmetics too!
Deletethe second ones on both sides look the prettiest to me
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can tell from the photo, but the 3rd from the left is super pretty too and has a bit of shimmery sparkle to it!
DeleteI don't usually wear lipstick because I always forget I have it on and then end up smearing it across my face LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm bad about getting it on my teeth. I always have to double check I didn't leave any on them!
DeleteI think I can safely say, I'm good on the lipstick front lol
ReplyDeleteBut think how lovely you would look with a nice deep shade of red, Pat!
DeleteRelease or Escape are the colors that would work best with my skin tone. I don't wear it too often anymore but when I do I like the color to be one that does not over power everything else.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Beyond" color. I stick with the same type of color, but may go with a slightly lighter or darker shade, depending on my mood. These are all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great colors. I think if I were to wear lipstick I would go with a neutral tone.
ReplyDeleteI like the neutrals best too. I could never pull off the bolder colors :(
DeleteThey have a wide variety of colors, which is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI love a good neutral lip. My favorite is a good red lip though.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could pull off a red lip. I love it on other women though!
DeleteWhat a beautiful array of colors. I have been trying to be a little more adventurous with my color. It's reminds me that make-up can be fun!
ReplyDeleteI could use some new lipstick. I'm so happy that winter is over, and I'm ready for spring! I need to check these out & pick out something bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteWow so many pretty colors! I haven't ever worn lipstick. I may give one or two a try this summer I'm just not sure. These look so pretty though!
ReplyDeleteI just purchased new lipsticks and am quickly learning that I need (want) more in numerous shades. I usually shoot for neutral tones but have really been digging the occasional bold color too!
ReplyDeleteI like a little tone to mine. During the winter I go for bold colors, but spring and summer, something with a little tint to it works best.
ReplyDeleteI have never been one to ware bold lip colors. I prefer more neutral shades. I just dont think bold looks good on me.
ReplyDeleteI have been using Borghese well before my blogging days, I remember when they first came into my favorite department store and I got my first makeover with them, my favorite is their Fango Mud!

I prefer neutral tones as I am not really one for lipsticks.
ReplyDeleteI bet you look fabulous in any of the color. I recently bought red lipstick, and it's a new love even though my lips look strikingly fierce little A said I look pretty and later on he said it looked like blood 😖
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty shades! I always have a hard time picking what lip color to use!
ReplyDeleteThese lip colors are gorgeous. I like a deep rich brown/red in the Fall and Winter. I prefer a plum color in the Spring and Summer
ReplyDeleteThese colors look gorgeous. I love how some of them appear to have shimmer.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for new lip colors to try out! I think I just found some!
ReplyDeleteThose colors are lovely! I just started getting into lip colors and would love to try these out.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first to hear of them. I bet it was fun experimenting with the colors!
ReplyDeleteI love new lip colors! I've actually been wearing a lot of red and I love it!

I love Borghese, and when I'm in the mood to be trying out a product at the store, I head to Borghese! I love their creams, scents and lipsticks I want to try these!
ReplyDeleteI'll go bolder indeed :)...love those shades, Theresa...my fave will be beyond and dare :)
ReplyDeleteI usually opt for a neutral color or stick with lip gloss. I see a few of these shades I wouldn't mind trying though!
ReplyDeleteI prefer more neutral colours. Would love to try bold red but never had the guts to haha...
ReplyDeleteAnd sheesh, you don't have a weird face!

I'm loving all of these shades! I love a more neutral lip lately, and these nudes are pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't like bold or bright colors on my lips, but I do like to be able to see that I have color on... just a more soft, muted, or subtle shade of pinks, peaches/browns. I've never tried Borghese before, but look forward to trying it!
ReplyDeleteI love lipsticks but have never tried this brand! These colors are gorgeous! I want some now!
