I bought this from Superdrug on Sunday as I had wanted to try these since I first saw them advertised, anything that is meant to be long lasting is always good in my book so when I noticed they were just £5.99 on offer I thought it would be rude not to buy one, really.
I went for shade 03 (Pink Princess) and it hasn’t disappointed me; it is quite a strong pink when used heavily, but still perfectly wearable as you can build the colour up (as you can see on my hand swatches below) as much as you feel comfortable with.
Another thing I’ve been really impressed with is the staying power of this product. It has survived drinking very comfortably; even eating doesn’t do much, if any damage and I do tend to use it a lot as a base for a lipstick or gloss for this very reason! The lip swatches below are with a bit of lip balm on, the shine isn't really from the pen, although it's not completely matte either.
A light usage:
Slightly heavier:
Heavier still:
Apologies for my dodgy lips, I rushed with the application and then was trying to hold them fairly neutrally but I failed, badly... this is still all new to me and I'm not entirely comfortable in front of a camera or with my looks in general!
I quite like that I can use this to make my lips look fuller by tracing ever so slightly over the outer lip-line, and as the stain really does stay put I feel confident that I’m not going to end up with dodgy looking lips later on in the day/evening when doing so!
Close ups:
This is still on offer at Superdrug for a limited time for those of you who are interested in buying it!
I've got this and I love it I wear it everyday! I especially like it because it's a good matt lip without being drying
