The airline has chosen the award-winning makeup brand bareMinerals to select the perfect lip product to re-create the iconic ‘Virgin Atlantic Red’ – giving high-flying passengers the chance to experience the jet-set glamour and style synonymous with the airline’s cabin crew.  To have a look and feel of how we groom our crew with this, please view this video   The striking lip colour, ‘Upper Class Red’, will be made available to sell to the public for pre-order on board Virgin Atlantic flights through the airline’s inflight shopping guide, Retail Therapy.  It will also be sold at the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse Spa at Heathrow, Gatwick and New York JFK before it is made more widely available later this year at selected bareMinerals stockists Rebecca Creer, Senior Spas and Grooming Manager at Virgin Atlantic, says: “Red hot lips have always been a trademark of our cabin crew, signifying the strength and confidence they embody. With the launch of ‘Upper Class Red’, this is finally being made available to passengers - meaning one swipe is all you need to create a classic and timeless look – something our cabin crew can certainly vouch for!” The lip colour has been specially chosen by bareMinerals with Virgin Atlantic’s cabin crew because of the perfect colour match to the ‘Virgin Atlantic Red’. bareMinerals only use the finest quality ingredients in its products and its moisture enriching lip formula make it a firm favourite with Virgin Atlantic’s cabin crew - who have already given it their seal of approval. Vanessa White, Upper Class cabin crew at Virgin Atlantic comments: “All of the female cabin crew wear red lipstick so we were keen to find a ‘Virgin Atlantic Red’ worthy of the perfect pout! ‘Upper Class Red’ is a vivid shade that’s bold, strong and perfect for travelling in.” All female cabin crew will be wearing the shade onboard the new Upper Class Cabin which launches this spring on the A330 flight from London to New York.  Upper Class passengers lucky enough to be travelling onboard the inaugural flight will also receive a sample as a welcome gift to take away with them. A brand new A330 will also be flying from London to Delhi starting July 9th 2012. Sarah-Jane Froom, European Makeup Artist at bareMinerals, comments: “We predict that bareMinerals Pretty Amazing™ Lipcolor in ‘Upper Class Red’, is set to be a popular choice as it’s got the coverage of a lipstick but the high shine effects of a gloss to deliver a full-bodied, velveteen colour – a red shade that suits every skin tone. It’s also been created with frequent fliers in mind as it includes micronized freshwater pearl powder which hydrates the lips alleviating the effects of cabin air pressure. Plus the comfortable and longwearing finish makes glamour last that bit longer, perfect for long-haul flights.”

First Look At the Product: 

 

I like the packaging of these lipsticks - sleek,simple gold case which is sturdy and travel friendly. The Pure Color Lipsticks have a nice shade selection of Peachy Pinks, Pinks and Brown.

My Experience with the Product: 

I like the texture of the lipstick - one swipe and its enough to give you a glossy smooth color payoff. Its quite moisturizing. 

The smell of the lipstick is okayish - Actually it depends from person to person - If you like mildly sweet smell you wont mind it. The smell just lingers on the moment you apply it .

I love the shade of the lipstick - Its a perfect red tone for Indian skin tones. You can definitely sport this shade regularly.

The staying power of the lipstick is good for 3 hours after which it fades down a bit. I tried working with the staying power of the lipstick by dusting powder on the lips and then re- applying the shade and it easily stayed on my lips throughout the night - even after I had my meal. 

I am definitely going to check other shades from this range. 

Love it or Chuck it ?

Love it Absolutely !!! Definitely check this shade out if you want to sport a subtle red shade on your lips.

Please Note: The product was sent by the company's PR for consideration.

My Take On the Product-- 

I had been to Maybelline's Beauty Editors Meet a while back where Maybelline introduced their Plum-tastic range which includes colours from deep wines to berries and plum. At the end of the event we were given goodie basket which had this lipcolor in it - Plum Paradise Shade no. 425.

The first look at the colour and the thought came - I am never going to be able to wear and carry this colour off. The Plum Paradise is a deep plum colour shade with tiny red shimmers in it. It is a great shade for a night out parties or a date night :)

The lip colour sat hidden in my lipstick drawer and was finally pulled out for the first time in Navratri, when I had gone out to play dandiya at night with all my friends.

One swipe on my lips and It instantly gave it a dark plum lips which reminded me of one of aunty's who use to apply this coloured lipstick a lot !!  I instantly ran for a tissue and blotted it on my lip to tone down the colour and then top it off with a gloss.

Volia !! I loved the final result it gave - A soft plum healthy coloured lips with a hint of shimmers on it and the gloss did a wonderful job of accentuating the lips.

The lipstick proves to be very moisturising and does not settle within the fine lines of your lips. It also does not make you lips go all CRACKY  after a while of application !!

It does not bleed from your lips and even if I swipe the lip colour once on my lips - its stays put for good 4 5 hours  even after you had your meals.

All in all - I am daily using this lip colour and Plum shade has certainly changed my mind about using dark and deep shades on my lips.
