Hey guys!
A couple of weeks ago I decided to go on a bit of a splurge in Superdrug and two of the items I picked up were the Sleek Matte me lip creams. I picked up the shades Petal and Brink Pink. Petal is a light, nude colour and Brink Pink is a near enough fluorescent pink. Complete opposites I know, but those were the two that drew me in the most. These lip creams are described as 'Ultra smooth matte lip creams', after giving them a thorough trial I have decided that I like them. Admittedly I wouldn't describe them as ultra smooth as they are quite drying, a balm underneath definitely makes them more comfortable. They take a bit of work to get them perfect but it's easy enough with practice, they don't transfer very much at all which is fab! The colour pay off is amazing and Brink Pink is just as bright on the lips as in the packaging! They're matte for sure, which I definitely prefer in comparison to anything glossy or shiny.
They last a good length of time, after eating and drinking the colour was still apparent around 5-6 hours later. They wear off nicely and don't leave a ring around your lips making you look like you've only got lip liner on. They apply slightly oily and then dry to a matte finish, they remind me of the Lush lip products. They only need one or two if you really want to make them opaque. The first layer is enough to get away with but the second makes it perfect.
Have you tried these before? What did you think about them?
