Review | Gold by Giles Lipsticks

Gold by Giles is a collection for New Look by British designer Giles Deacon. The collection includes women's clothing, accessories and my personal favourite, cosmetics.
Now I never thought I would be raving about a clothing store's cosmetics range but the Gold by Giles collection offers fantastic quality makeup with a very low price tag.
This review is going to focus on the lipsticks in the collection, which retail at £2.99 each in New Look stores, (I apologise if you don't have a New Look in your country).
I LOVE the formula of these lipsticks, they are so creamy and moisturising so are perfect for people with quite dry, chapped lips (like me). The colours are also so pigmented, they give a lovely full coverage.

L-R: Pulse,  Bliss, Jazz, Flare

Pulse and Bliss were the first two colours I bought from this collection late last year when nudes were my lipstick colour of choice and I thought that reds looked ridiculous on me (I actually bought this lipstick for Halloween). Now, I absolutely love red lipstick and Pulse is a really nice deep red colour and I think it is so wearable. Bliss is a very pale nude, it might not be to everyone's taste as it really does cover the lips and I know some people worry that nude lipstick can leave lips looking a little 'dead'. I personally like it.

I only bought these two colours last week, and although they are very bright (definitely not for those who like 'safer' coloured lipsticks), I think they look amazing on. They add a gorgeous pop of colour to the lips and dress up plainer outfits.

 

Overall, I love these lipsticks and hope that Mr. Deacon brings out some more shades in this lipstick range so I can expand my collection!
Have you tried these lipsticks? Which colours are you drawn to?
