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!
The colour is lovely and really suits you :) I love Sleek lipsticks.

gorgeous right? I love it! x
DeleteI tried the matte one from them in 'Exxxagerate' and it dried out after an hour. Must try this one although 'Exxxagerate' was nearly identical.

Oooo I'll love out for this! I didn't find this drying at all! xxx
DeleteThis 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 :)

I'm trying to try more bold colurs this season! So glad I went for it and got this! xxx
DeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about Sleek is the high pigmentation and the low prices, it's a win-win situation!
