Guest blogger, Liv, tries out Karen Murrell’s lipstick in Violet Mousse…
Before my little boy arrived into the world over 7 months ago now, I had the pleasure of trying
Karen Murrell’s lipstick in Coral Dawn. You can read my rave review here. You could say that I
was pretty immmmmmmmpressed. Would I now mind trying Karen Murrell’s lipstick in Violet
Mousse? Errrrrrr…., no!
Violet + mousse: sounds… well, a little unappealing?
Okay, so don’t be fooled – or potentially put off – by it’s name; there’s no purple going on with
this number. It’s actually a great neutral blush shade that provides your natural lip colour with
just a little more peachiness. This makes Violet Mousse a hugely versatile colour. So much so
that if you were to have one lipstick when shipwrecked on a tropical island (and you had a
mirror) (and the circumstances were such that wearing lipstick was a legitimate consideration),
this would be a serious contender. Murrell describes it as “the ultimate little black dress of
lipsticks”, “designed to be worn at a breakfast meeting in the morning to after dinner drinks and
still be appropriate.” And that’s a great description.
Stickability
In terms of staying power, I compared Karen Murrell’s Violet Mousse to MAC’s Half’n’Half.
Half’n’Half pipped Violet Mousse fractionally, but didn’t offer the same moisturising properties
nor Juicy Fruit smell. What’s so nice about Karen Murrell lippies is that you needn’t rely on a
hydrating “base coat” (can you tell we’ve got painters in at the moment?!) for a smooth finish.
They are excellent lip conditioners in their own right.
The sell
There is a host of other wonderful reasons to hunt out this, or indeed any, Karen Murrell shade
(refer aforementioned rave review…): New Zealand made, lots of yummy natural ingredients,
socially responsible packaging, a very reasonable price point (RRP $30)… But don’t take my
word for it: if you haven’t already, let me convince you to try one! I want to try them all!
