Earlier this month, I excitedly posted swatches of every shade in the newly released Burberry Lip Velvet collection. Twelve stunning shades, a veritable rainbow of textures and tones, all promising the luxurious feel and lasting power Burberry is known for. But among that dazzling array, one shade immediately captured my heart: Pink Apricot (301). This review will delve deep into this particular shade, exploring its texture, wear time, application, and overall performance, comparing it to other similar shades in my collection and providing a detailed analysis of why it's become a staple in my makeup bag. This isn't just a quick swatch and a "thumbs up"; it's a comprehensive look at the Burberry Lip Velvet in Pink Apricot, encompassing everything from the initial unboxing experience to its longevity throughout a full day.
Burberry Pink Apricot (301) Lip Velvet Review: A Detailed Examination
From the moment I first saw the elegant Burberry packaging – a sleek, sophisticated tube mirroring the brand's timeless aesthetic – I knew this was no ordinary lipstick. The weight of the tube feels substantial, hinting at the quality within. Unscrewing the cap reveals a perfectly formed bullet, ready to glide onto the lips. The shade itself, Pink Apricot (301), is exactly what its name suggests: a delicate balance between a soft, blushing pink and a subtle apricot undertone. It's not overly sweet or overly rosy; it's a beautifully nuanced shade that manages to be both understated and elegant. It's the perfect "your lips, but better" shade, enhancing the natural lip colour without being overpowering.
The texture is where the Burberry Lip Velvet truly shines. It's described as a "satin" finish, and that's an accurate description. It's not a matte, nor is it a glossy sheen. Instead, it occupies that perfect middle ground, providing a smooth, comfortable, and slightly luminous finish. The application is incredibly smooth; the bullet glides effortlessly across the lips, requiring minimal pressure. There's no tugging or pulling, even on drier areas. The pigmentation is excellent; one swipe provides a sheer wash of colour, while building up to a more intense, yet still natural-looking, finish with subsequent layers.
This particular shade, Pink Apricot, is surprisingly versatile. It works beautifully for daytime wear, providing a subtle enhancement to the natural lip colour. It's also suitable for evening events, layering it for a more pronounced effect. The colour complements a variety of makeup looks, from a natural, no-makeup makeup look to a bolder, more dramatic eye. Its understated elegance makes it a perfect choice for any occasion.
Longevity and Wear Test:
One of the key selling points of the Burberry Lip Velvet range is its longevity. And Pink Apricot certainly lives up to the hype. While it’s not completely transfer-proof, it offers impressive staying power. It lasts for several hours without significant fading, even with sipping drinks. After a light meal, some touch-ups may be needed, but overall, its longevity surpasses many other similar lipsticks in my collection. The formula doesn't dry out the lips, which is a significant plus. Many long-lasting lipsticks can leave lips feeling tight and dry, but the Burberry Lip Velvet manages to maintain a comfortable, hydrated feel throughout the day.
