Retro Makeup Review

In my years of exploring a variety of lipsticks, butter LONDON’s Plush Rush Lipstick in 111 truly stands out as a special find. Beyond its silky formula and delicate hue, what makes this shade so memorable is its ability to complement many skin tones with a natural, understated flush. I still recall reaching for this shade during casual days when a bold lip wasn’t what I wanted—but I needed that perfect touch of color to brighten up my look. The buttery texture means it applies evenly without drying the lips, which is crucial for all-day wear. It glides on smoothly, almost melting into the lips, which makes reapplication a breeze and ensures no patchiness. Many modern lipsticks can feel heavy or cakey, but Plush Rush 111 balances comfort and color effortlessly. While it’s unfortunate that this shade has been discontinued, I often hunt for it on resale sites or beauty marketplaces, and sometimes stumble upon unopened or lightly used tubes. It’s a gentle reminder that some makeup products hold emotional value beyond trends. For those who have never tried this lipstick or want to achieve a similar vintage-inspired look, I recommend looking for lipsticks labeled as sheer or plush with a creamy finish in soft rose or muted pink tones. These can often replicate that delicate yet impactful glow that Plush Rush in 111 offers. Sharing this finds a deeper connection with the nostalgic beauty community who appreciate not just the aesthetics but also the memories tied to beloved beauty staples. The appeal of retro beauty is timeless—it’s about cherishing the classics while integrating them into modern routines.
