The pefect Valentine's red lips from Burberry and Givenchy - with swatches!

Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet in No 41 Military Red - $38 - with an innovative formula that merges rich pigment, smooth application, and a whipped, creamy texture for a bold, velvet finish that lasts for up to eight hours. The comfortable, non-drying formula keeps your lips supple and moisturized, ensuring that the color does not dry, fade, or crack.

Described as a classic red, it isn't overpowering on me, a very wearable, everyday shade and super easy to apply!

Available at select Hudson's Bay, Sephora and Norstrom stores across Canada and online at thebay.com and sephora.ca.

Givenchy Le Rouge Lip Color in 306 Carmin Escarpin - $42 - delivers intense colour with a semi-matte finish - and to make it extra cool, it's encased in genuine leather.

More dramatic, it's described as a warm poppy red and would look great with a little black dress! I just love the leather case, this is the kind of thing to whip out in fancy restaurant bathrooms to make all the other women jealous!

Available at Givenchy counters across Canada.
