New In! Shanghai Suzy Winter Collection

It is indeed an exciting time at The Beauty Vine HQ when a new Shanghai Suzy lipstick collection is released! I have the new Winter Collection to share with you today! All 8 shades are in my hot little hands. You may be correct in guessing that I have no self control!

I snapped up the collection the evening it was released online, and I have some lip swatches to help you decide which shades you might like to pick up.

Shanghai Suzy Lipsticks are an Australian brand, based in the city of Melbourne. Two collections are released each year, featuring on-trend shades to accompany the current season. On a side note, the stunningly gorgeous woman behind the brand, Joanna, looks absolutely beautiful in every single shade! Along with the Nourish, and Matte formulas we have seen in past collections, a newcomer, the Shimmer formula joins the ranks for the Winter Collection.

The first thing I noticed on application of the new matte shades, was how smooth and comfortable they felt on my lips. There was definitely an increase in slip and sheen with this formula. On visiting the website, I discovered that Jo has added some lovely Jojoba oil to the matte formula, to make it a little more nourishing for the Winter months. Our lips say thank you Jo! If you are familiar with Shanghai Suzy matte lipsticks, you will notice a difference with the shades in this collection.

SHANGHAI SUZY WINTER COLLECTION

Mrs French WINTER MAROON, Miss Veronica SPARKLING PLUM.

MISS SANJA FUCHSIA - Matte 

" A re-run of one of the most-loved from the very first Shanghai Suzy collection " 

A beautiful, vibrant fuchsia which makes a statement! I find this type of shade personally more daring to wear than many shades of red, but it is beautiful!

MISS VICTORINE CLASSIC RED - Matte  

" A striking and chic classic red in a rich, creamy formula " 

I absolutely adore this shade, I have quite a few favourites, and this is a must-have in my opinion!

MRS FRENCH WINTER MAROON - Matte

" Reminiscent of a delicious Shiraz wine, Mrs French is a bold and rich deep maroon "  

Joanna designed this shade specifically to wear at her wedding reception... It is another gorgeous shade, and another must-have in my book! 

MISS VERONICA SPARKLING PLUM - Shimmer  

" Perfect pinky-plum for Winter which deepens in colour when layered "  

This is a sheer, buildable shade with a really beautiful, unique finish. The glitter/shimmer in the formula is very fine, and I cannot feel it on my lips. The tone of this shade reminds me of Miss Georgina from the first collection, which is still one of my favourites today. Absolutely beautiful. Put it on your list!

SHANGHAI SUZY - WINTER COLLECTION - LEFT-RIGHT  Miss Cassandra PEONY,  Miss Kat 90's CAPPUCINO,
Miss Tanielle DESERT ROSE, Miss Nina SPARKLING CORAL

MISS CASSANDRA PEONY - Nourish 

" This ultra flattering soft peony hue is super moisturising, the perfect 'everyday' go-to this Winter"

As described, the perfect everyday pink, which looks equally beautiful patted lightly on the lips or built up to a more opaque finish. Love.

MISS KAT 90's CAPPUCINO - Matte

" a yellowy brown based nude to flatter teeth and most skin tones"

The swatch above unfortunately shows my skin tone to look a little deeper than it is, my apologies. In real life this shade makes my skin take on a greyish hue, and drains it of colour. If you have a warmer, or more olive skin tone this shade will look beautiful on you, however in all honesty I don't feel that it is very flattering on me.

MISS TANIELLE DESERT ROSE - Matte

" Taupey-rose in our beautiful matte formula...slightly edgy and a deeper take on pink "

Like many of these shades this was love a first application. Another very wearable, everyday shade that I think will look good on everybody. Love! Joanna wore this shade during her wedding ceremony! 

MISS NINA SPARKLING CORAL - Shimmer

" We love Miss Nina to bring a pop of bright coral to dreary winter days and nights! "

Oh I would love to be brave enough to rock this shade! I see this type of gorgeous coral on beautifully tanned, and deeper skin tones and I think it looks just stunning! I'll have to wear it around the house for a few days and get used to it! I found Miss Nina to be slightly less forgiving on any texture on my lips, and found that she did not feel as smooth as her sister shimmer shade Miss Veronica. I'd recommend a good lip scrub prior to application of Miss Nina.

As I mentioned earlier, I purchased the entire Winter collection online, for $65.00AUD. Each lipstick retails for $12.95AUD, or you can purchase 3 lipsticks for $38.95AUD and receive 1 free! 

To date, there are sadly no options for international shipping that I am aware of. Hopefully that will change soon!

Do visit Shanghai Suzy here to shop online and check out over 450 stockists Australia wide.

Do any of these shades tickle your fancy? Are you a Shanghai Suzy fan like me? I have built up quite a collection to date!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings,
