Hi my lovely gems! How are you all? I think I’m coming down with a cold… A big fat BOO to that! Anyways, I was in Superdrug the other day & thought I’d get myself acquainted with the new DARK lip colour trend! Especially after seeing Rebecca Ferguson rocking the PLUM lips on The X Factor the other week! I think you can probably tell by now that I’m addicted to the show! LOL
RRP: £3.69 Sleek True Colour Lipstick
OFFICIAL WEBSITE
I really didn’t want to spend an ARM or LEG for this trend because as we all know… It’s not gonna be around forever! But then again, I still wanted it to look NICE on my lips, at the same time! This was my first Sleek lippy buy, & I’m very impressed… Especially because it’s cheap & cheerful at the same time!

I love the MATTE packaging of the lip stick! Makes it look really professional. Also the product is quite small so will fit into any of my little clutch bags for a night out

I thought it would be really pigmented and look really HARSH on my lips (I know it’s supposed to be very dark, but I was a little scared to put it on! LOL) But, you can build up the colour to make it darker, which is ideal for me!

I used this with quite a fuchsia-ish lip liner as an all over base for my lips (which may have made the lippy a little lighter in colour)… But I don’t think I’ll rush out and get a dark lip liner because I liked the outcome of it
I’m not used to wearing dark colours on my lips so it was a little weird getting used to but I REALLY like the colour!!
I ALWAYS put a lip balm on before I apply lip sticks – it helps the lippy GLIDEon with minimal effort
This lipstick has VITAMIN E in it which actually felt really nice on! I don’t think I needed the extra balm on (it’s made it look extra glossy/shiny which I love!) I really liked the product as a whole & will be keeping an eye out for Sleek lipsticks in the future
What do you think of the colour? Will you be ROCKIN’ dark lips this season? Or is it not your thing? I may wear this out over the weekend (let’s hope I’m BRAVE enough! Hehe
)

P.S – I’ll be doing the lip stick tooth TRICK too when I wear this… I don’t want it on my teeth


Ahhh! I love!!! Must pop into Superdrug later and swatch!! x
YAY
Let me know how it goes
xx
Eee! I love Majestic, too! Literally have a post sat in my drafts, but I’ve done so much Sleek lately I’m waiting on posting it. Btw, it’s a dupe for the 17 ‘New Black’ in my vampy look post
LOL I do that!! I don’t like blogging the same thing in a short time… but it happens hehe! I guess sometimes we can’t resist
& OOO! I’ll go compare them now
xx
Love the colour i know what you mean about being brave to wear it out, i bought dark deed from the venomous villains collection its really dark and vampy totally on trend but way out of my norm! Going to try and make it a it more wearable somehow! :S
I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t feel brave enough to wear it out LOL I find that if you put a bit of colour on your finger & dab it onto your lips it looks less harsh
I might try that?
xx
wow i really like this colour it looks soo vampy!
Vampy is definitely the word! LOL x
I bought a similar color by Revlon called grape. Its very rich and dark and a bit out of my comfort level but I’ve committed to trying it this weekend. I won’t feel as self conscious since so many people will be dressed crazy for halloween! LOL
LOL I think I should commit myself to trying it this weekend (…I’m not even dressing up for Halloween though!) Hehe x
This colour looks so lovely on you. Ive got MAC tribalist from the style warriors collection so I dont need to rush out to get a dark lippy as Ive got in my stash already =D
Oh you’re well prepared
The vampy dark lips are so in! x
I wore dark lipstick for Halloween. Usually I wear nude colors though
I usually wear nudes & pinks too
