Needless to say, I prefer this colour to 'Barely There' (although having said that, I have found a way to make it work in a way that does actually suit me).
The lipstick is fuschia, but the lip swatch makes it lean slightly more pink than it actually is. Easy to apply, pretty moisturising, and a truly matte lipstick that leaves a stain. Staying power on this is really good. I can (and have) made it through to lunchtime at school having only partially reapplied once, and it doesn't feel heavy on the lips or drag excessively during application.
My one gripe would have to be with the size of Sleek lipsticks in general. They just seem rather small, for four quid? I don't know, I'm just used to recieving more product, personally. I do like the packaging, which doesn't roll away if you set it on a flat surface. The rubberised finish reminds me of a brand like NARS, but does pick up miniscule scratches if you leave it knocking around in a bag or a drawer like myself.
I know you've seen these pictures before, sorry :P There's not enough daylight to take new ones!
Aren't you all sick of my lips by now? (I hope not, because Pout Paint swatches are coming up...)

ReplyDeleteHi! Cool blog : ) Has anyone been on the sleek website lately and tried to make a purchase? All their products are in US dollars... Isn't sleek a UK based company...?
ReplyDeleteSeen what you mean, Anonymous...not sure why that is. They are a UK based company. Maybe it's a website glitch?
