Beautifully packaged in a compact, travel-friendly jewellery box, this limited-edition lip collection curated by Alexa Chung features one creamy Colour Brilliance lipstick, and two Matte Velour lipsticks, all in highly pigmented, long-lasting shades designed to take you from dawn ‘til dusk.

Peach Dream is luxuriously smooth in texture and radiant in colour, providing the perfect peachy hue in a satin finish. Affogato and Pillar Box offer a universally flattering nude and a vibrant pillar box red. Matte but never flat, both of the matte lipsticks have a smooth velvety texture with an incredibly rich,full-colour effect. A balanced mix of waxes leaves lips hydrated without any flaking or peeling throughout the day.

“These are the three shades I most frequently use day-to-day. I love the neutral beige taupe shade as it’s effortless but done. Then there’s a salmony peach which is a perfect retro sixties kitten vibe and the pillar box red is my secret weapon. I wear it whenever I’m tired or feeling lacklustre to brighten my mood and my face.” – Alexa Chung

ABOUT THE SHADES

Affogato
A matte pink-beige hue that gives a perfect, subtle finishing touch to pair with a fresh daytime look or dramatic smokey eye come sundown. Its buildable formula allows for precision and control in application, to achieve defined lips. The formula has been created to enhance the volume of the lips and applies beautifully to achieve the perfect lip contour.

Peach Dream

A blend of Esthers and waxes, you can sculpt your lips with a long-lasting uniform film of colour that minimises colour migration into the skin’s micro wrinkles.

Pillar Box
A vibrant, primary red matte lipstick to turn heads at any cocktail party or festive soirée. Delivering a highly pigmented, non-dry film to create a long-lasting matte but extremely comfortable and hydrated finish. Glide the lipstick across your lips to achieve a long-wearing velvety matte finish.
