Review: Look Beauty Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot



Look Beauty Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot - £7 (Sample from an event)


I've raved about this lip product several times, but still not had the chance to blog about it. I wasn't that fussed about the Look Beauty range. A beauty range coming from a magazine sounded a bit toy-in-cereal-box to me, but I had a lovely time at the launch and we were given great goody bags to take home. 

This product consists of a supposedly matte lipstick (I wouldn't say matte as it has quite a frost/sheen to it) at one end, and a lipgloss at the other. You can use each side alone or together.
This product really stuck out to me, despite the colour being far too bright for me (in the packaging) and also the small fact that I never, ever wear lipgloss. 
I have quite dry lips, lipsticks rarely last on me so mostly, I don't bother much. However, this lipstick has some serious staying power. It almost sets on your lips, and stays for hours. It reminds me of NARS Orgasm, that sort of peachy pink with a gold sheen. 
I wear the lipstick alone quite often, but probably more often with the lipgloss. 

Although I'm not a fan of lipgloss (I think it looks a bit overdone on me, and also it's sticky and my hair gets stuck in it), I use this most days when I'm heading out. As you can see in the picture above, it's not overly glossy and leaves quite a subtle sheen to the lips without that sticky, unnatural feeling. It also smells incredible!

In all honesty, this has become one of my favourite lip products. It stays on for hours, the lipgloss is perfect for keeping lips moisturised and adding a bit of a gloss. 

Have you tried any of the Look Beauty range?

  4. I love the colour on you. Im just not keen on the packaging. I know packaging isn't everything but I think the Look beauty packaging looks really cheap and naff.

    You on the other hand look stunning and gorgeous! lol

    I have a blog sale on my blog at the moment if you fancy taking a quick peek

  6. That's such a pretty colour - it really suits you :)

    I'm not a huge fan of lipgloss, mostly because of the hair gets stuck to lip when wearing issue but I'd give this a go as it doesn't look sticky at all! xx

  9. I think I'm going to try this now, I adore the lipgloss in Powder Puff, but otherwise the products are a little bit hit and miss for me.

  12. What a gorgeous colour! I might try this out, especially now you've said the gloss isn't overly sticky. I'm not a big gloss fan for that reason, so guess this one's worth a go!

  17. I've not been able to get my hands on any Look products yet, but some of the reviews I have read make the range sound really good quality, I get that toy in a cereal box feel too but the reviews have been great so I shall have to try and get my hands on some! The colour looks so lovely on you, and your make-up looks stunning!

  33. Thats gorgeous!
    I was the same, I'd heard about it and seen it in Superdrug but walked past thinking it would be a little rubbish tbh. I've seen a few reviews now on different products from the range and its changed my mind. I think I'm going to have to try a few things out!

  34. I have the one in pink punch and I absolutely love it, I am desperate to try more from their line :-)
