I have a little confession to make - when the PR emailed me about the IT Cosmetics Pillow Lips Solid Serums, I said I was working on lip features (I am) however, the real reason why I was desperate to test the lip range was because a few years ago, I was sent their eyeshadow quad and so impressed by the pigment, it got a stand alone review in the press with more word count than the other top brands I was working with. The quality was amazing and so I knew I was going to love the Pillow Lips Solid Serums - and I do!
Pillow Lips are a '5 in 1' tinted gloss. Not just a veil of colour, these are top of the range lip treatments - in fact IT Cosmetics work alongside plastic surgeons and dermatologists to get the ingredients that deliver results.
Lips give the first signs of aging away. As we get older we start to lose collagen and hyaluronic acid from our lips, which means that we naturally lose volume and plumpness. Fine lines from smoking, sun damage, dehydration start to develop and so it's imperative that we treat our lips with the kindness we give to our skin. With lips, prevention is key and that is why serums such as these are so good. Our lives are so busy now, and many of us don't have the time to apply layers of products to keep our lips in top condition. IT Cosmetics have solved that problem by developing beautiful shades with active ingredients that work.
From bottom to top you have:-
- 11:11 - a gorgeous, deep, rose pink that is ideal for day or night, and suits all skin shades.
- Marvellous - my favourite shade, see below - this delicate, candy pink has a stunning iridescence that is ideal for summer, and looks amazing on light or tanned skin tones.
- Gaze - a sheer plum shade that takes you from day to evening, it's glamourous and gives a beautiful deep shine without being full on colour.
- Humble - like the name suggests this is a shy, nude that again suits every skin tone. It enhances your natural lip colour and hides any imperfections by given a veil of light taupe.
The lip serums have amazing ingredients in them that have been chosen to give intense hydration. Some of these ingredients include:-
- Castor Seed Oil - contains an abundance of vitamins and essential fatty acids. These fatty acids help nourish the lips but also act as a humectant so stops moisture from escaping the lips.
- Jojoba Oil - easily absorbed into the lips, this oil contains vitamins and minerals that give intense hydration without leaving lips feeling greasy.
- Shea Butter - helps nourish but also is anti-inflammatory so helps soothe chapped, dry lips. Also has antioxidant benefits to help protect the lips from environmental pollutants.
- Soluble Collagen - gives a layer of water film over the lips so helps with hydration.
- Punica Granatum Fruit Extract - aka Pomegranate Fruit Extract, contains lots of antioxidants and so protects the skin from environmental stressors such as smoke and pollution.
The great thing about these lip serums is that whilst you can go onto the website and use the interactive camera to try your shade, as the colours are a luminous light texture, they really do suit all skin tones and so foul proof when purchasing.
