You all know by now that my favourite lip products are Matte! So when the lovely Ilya from Beauty UK emailed me last week and told me all about their exciting new products, I nearly burst with excitement! I have been after an affordable matte lip cream for AGES and these are just incredible! I received these this morning so you know I must be excited for them to launch Friday if I'm already writing a review! 
The two shades I received are no.1 Bond, Mrs Bond and Curious Coral. They are such nice shades and I'm so pleased with the formula. They don't disappoint at all and they are stunningly Matte. They glide on the lips but aren't sticky or hard to work with, They dry really quickly and look perfect. The description velvet matte lip creams is the perfect description as I've never used such a creamy yet smooth and velvety formula. Most lip creams I've used before like the Makeup Revolution ones go on quite wet and take a few minutes to dry, these are ideal as they dry really quickly but not too soon that its hard to apply! 
I love the doe foot applicator is really nice to use and makes applying these much easier as it distributes the right amount of product and is the perfect shade for my lips! Its a great size and doesn't clump up at all or have lots of excess product on. The staying power of these is also amazing! I have had these on since the moment they arrived this morning and its now just gone 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I've eaten breakfast and lunch with them on my lips and had a cup of tea and they are still intact. I say 'they are' as I did apply the Coral one first and then an hour later applied the Bond, Mrs Bond over the top just to try out the shades.There is a tiny bit of wear on the inside of my bottom lip but this is only slight and probably from where I have drank throughout the day, which is totally expected.
The Lips Matter Lip creams are so pigmented, These pictures were taken after 2 swipes across my hand and the colour pay off is incredible! I could have only swiped them once each but I wanted a larger swatch area. My fiance has even commented on how opaque they look on my hand and my lips. The top image is with flash and the bottom without my camera flash on. They are total ME shades and I LOVE them! I cant wait to purchase some more of these for Autumn!

There are 8 shades in the new Beauty UK Lips Matter range and they are all so stunning! There is a shade for everyone and any occasion and I'm hoping that they add to this range with a few more vampy shades or a few nude/browns. They are available from the Beauty UK website and Amazon from Friday 16th October and are only £3.99 each so I'll soon be collecting them all!
They also smell so lush with a blueberry scent to them which is so fruity and sweet. I love all things blueberry to this is a total hit with me. I also adore the packaging, its modern yet clearly sticking to the matte theme with a matte black lid!!
