Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips (Helene) Review
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips (Helene) Review *
A few weeks ago I was kindly sent this lipstick that you can see pictured above from the Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Range, I had heard about the range before but had never got round to buying anything.
Lipsticks are a big thing this time of year and we all seem to be reaching for deeper berry shades and of course red – red is a festive colour and I always associate it with Christmas, so with that let’s see how this lipstick faired.
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips (Helene) Review – Packaging
This comes packaged in a box making this a great idea as a stocking filler – we are SO close to Christmas after all! I also quite like that there’s a picture of the actual lipstick on one side of the box too – a very cool touch! 🙂
Open the outer packaging and you’re greeted with a lovely gold lipstick – it looks extremely elegant and definitely has a luxury feel and look to it!
Sometimes things can look great but they feel really tacky and/or cheap – this however feels really solid and as mentioned above has that ‘luxury‘ feel which is great!
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips (Helene) Review – Colour
I’m not a big red lipstick wearer as I prefer nude/delicate colours as I focus more on my eye make-up BUT this is a really beautiful shade of red.
It has a but undertone to it so it’s a clean, crisp red which not only makes your teeth look whiter but it also suits all skin tones – hooray!!! 😀
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips (Helene) Review – Lasting Power
This is a cream lipstick with NO shimmer but it does have a slight ‘sheen‘ to it making it really lovely.
Once applied, it acts like a “matte” lipstick without the horrible drying effect – it also lasts well during the day but you will need to re-apply after a drink or meal as it does face BUT I will say that this is one of the better lasting red lipsticks that I’ve tried!
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips (Helene) Review – Overall
Like I’ve mentioned above, I’m not a big red lipstick wearer but on the odd occasion I do like wearing a bit of colour with simple eyeliner make-up.
Red lipstick has the tendency to be really drying but this is one of the BEST red lipsticks I’ve tried! It’s nourishing and has a creamy formula which is great but at the same time lasts really well too.
If you’re a fan of red lipstick then I would DEFINITELY recommend this, it’s a beautiful red shade and has that luxury look and feel to it too! 🙂
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips (Helene) Review – Purchase
You can purchase this from QVC but I’ve found this really lovely set – it’s 2 lipsticks in gorgeous red/berry shades for the price of £27.00

Are you a fan of red lipstick? What brand do you use/like??
Let me know! 🙂 xxx
I so want this! Red lipsticks are my favorite especially the vampy colored ones, but sadly, they can be, like you said, drying. Even the so-called moisturizing ones can be drying on my lips. I think I have a very high body temperature lol! Right now I’m using Revlon’s ColorBurst Lipstick which is actually very sheer and truly moisturizing. But the color does fade off easily. Happy holidays dear <3 xoxo

Thank you so much for your comment….sadly they are drying yes and in the end they look terrible so this is quite a lovely option – as for the revlon lipstick you mentioned they are super hydrating but do come off easily, I agree! have you tried using a lip liner before applying lipstick…this helps it last longer…. xxx
Lovely lipstick! x

I’ve never heard of the Joan Collins makeup! I love the packaging – very classic, that’s good to hear that it is matte without drying, I have terribly dry lips!
I know, it’s not widely known but you can get the products on QVC too which is good!! It looks even better in person! 🙂 xxx
This is one gorgeous red lipstick! Love the color and the packaging <3

SOunds amazing! Is this THE Joan Collins? I had no idea she has a makeup line?
Yes – THE Joan Collins haha 🙂 xx
Not only the packaging is lovely and luxurious, but the shade is a classic red too! So appropriate for the holidays and all year round to be honest! Every woman needs a standard red in her make up collection! 🙂

So glad to have read your review of this. I did once send for a JC eye-shadow palette, but I actually sent it back to QVC because it was too samey as so many others I own. But I’ve often been attracted by the colour and packaging of the lipsticks. And I didn’t know that about red lipsticks…that they’re more drying. I’ve learnt something today, thank you! Great review, thanks.
Yes, I have heard this about the eye shadow palettes but I do think that there’s SO many of them on the market it’s getting harder to become unique in that sense! This lipstick though is really lovely and I do like it – it’s not a colour I wear everyday though….just on occasions when I want something different 🙂 xxx
OOO then is perfect, because i love the matte effect, the colors is superb dear.

Ah, red is a really gorgeous colour but I only wear it every so often! Yes, blue-based reds are a lot nicer as they do make teeth whiter so it’s all great haha! 🙂 xxx
Sounds like a good lipstick. I’m like you only red sometimes.
