Sleek True Colour Lipstick - MYSTIC

Now, where I live there is literally nowhere for me to buy Sleek (totally unfair right), so for me it is a case of waiting to head over to the "mainland" or looking at google images or YouTube for a better look of things and to get a rough idea about what I am ordering online.
So being in London earlier this week mean that it was a great time to have a look! I didn't really have long so I just picked up this lipstick which stuck out the most for me from everything - it is called Mystic and I am obsessed.
This is one of the True Colour lipstick's by Sleek and it is a matte colour. 
The shade is a gorgeous bright purple-pink, a colour which I have been lusting over for so long and until now I just haven't found the right shade for me.
I keep seeing girls rocking gorgeous bright purples on their lips and I knew I had to have one sooner or later!


As this is a matte lipstick the formula is a little different to other lipsticks I own and I definitley recommend making sure you are free from any dry skin on your lips before applying, a lip scrub or just using your toothbrush will do!
The lipstick itself can also become a little flaky too but too me it is something I will get over. Saying this, once the product has been applied it totally non-drying, something you wouldn't expect from a matte lip colour - in conditions the lips and feels fantastic, I think it is mainly down to the vitamin E contained in the product.
The colour is highly pigmented and the staying power is just fantastic. As you can see from the photos I couldn't wait to use the product before I took photos... (something I tend to try and do)... and after wearing it a couple of times I can say it is going straight to the top end of my favourite lip products at the moment!
 The purple is so different to anything else I own and really stands out and I think it would really suit a number of different skin tones.
I only own a couple of Sleek products but I have always been overwhelmed with the quality of the brand espically for the price. This lipstick is only £4.99 so I will without a doubt be investing in more of the colours throughout the range - have you got an recommendations?
Have any of you tried out any purple lipsticks or glosses? I really really want to try out more, I think they are gorgeous! Let me know if you have any favourites that you think I should try!

  8. I tried the matte one from them in 'Exxxagerate' and it dried out after an hour. Must try this one although 'Exxxagerate' was nearly identical.

  9. This looks stunning on you! I don't know if I'd have the confidence for such a bright purple lipstick, I tend to stick to safer options - but I'll probably end up swatching this just to see now :)

  10. It looks gorgeous on you, specially with your hair :). I also have the same problem, I live in a Portuguese city where I can't buy Sleek. I usually buy in the official website, the shipping is cheap.
    What I love about Sleek is the high pigmentation and the low prices, it's a win-win situation!
