Charlotte Tilbury Hyaluronic Happikiss
Suddenly, the ‘lipstick-gloss-balm hybrid’ is A Thing. And here’s a very gorgeous one, should you be feeling like a hump day treat.
We can honestly hear our friend Charlotte, talking about this. ‘I wanted to BOTTLE the TRUE HAPPINESS OF KISSING; from virtual kisses to love letters sealed with a kiss and the mark left by a HAPPIKISS upon a cheek, kisses bring JOY & EUPHORIA to EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE! Hyaluronic Happikiss is a hydrating LIPSTICK GLOSS BALM that glides on with a magical fondue-like texture for a dewy and juicy kiss of HYDRATING colour on your lips!’
Shout-y capitals aside, this is a fab lip treat. Hyaluronic Happikiss is infused with hyaluronic acid for moisturisation and instant plumping, is more highly pigmented than most tinted balms, and delivers a high-shine finish that gradually dims. It’s super-comfy and really very restorative after months of central heating. (According to their own trials, it leaves lips visibly smoother by 181% after 28 days, and plumped by 169%. Which is slightly beyond our maths, but hey: we love it.)
There are 10 shades (see them on different skintones, below) – we’re keen on deep berry Happipetal, at the darker end of the spectrum, and the paler Pillow Talk on the other (a Hyaluronic Happikiss echo of her iconic nude-pink lipstick shade).
It may not quite bottle ‘the true happiness of kissing’. (Quite a tall order for a lipstick.) But it’s definitely nailed lip comfort…
