Boots No7 Autumn Collection - Soft Matte Finish Lipstick

I wasn't sure about including this lipstick, but decided to for the sake of completion. I did, after all, promise you a write up on the full collection. So this write up (these aren't really reviews!) will focus more on the texture and such of the lipstick, rather than the colour.


The Boots No7 Autumn collection saw the release of a new lipstick to the range. Two colours are available. The one shown in the photo is "Plum Rebel", the other is called "Nude Rebel". They are available for a limited time for £9.75 from Boots stores or the website.

The case goes well with the eye shadow palette that was also released in this collection. It's the same black plastic and the lipstick also has the snakeskin sticker at the top of the tube.


This is quite a rich, red toned plum. It's somewhat translucent on first swipe. Quite an interesting finish, it's definitely pigmented but it's not completely opaque. The colour intensity builds very easily after another swipe or two. The lipstick feels very smooth on application and my lips didn't feel dry at all.

The colour lasted well, a couple of hours. I just didn't like the colour. Too deeply red/plum for me. If you like a vampy lip shade then this would be great for you, I just prefer less colour on my lips.

The product was provided free for review/tutorial purposes. This has no effect on the review I give.

  4. Oooh, I DO love vampy lip colours so this is right up my street. Though for someone that relies on swapping nearly £10 is a bit much. I hope they're still around next time there are No 7 £5 off vouchers!
