Sleek Matte Me Lip Creams in Fandango Purple and Birthday Suit: £4.99 each -
These Matte Me Lip Cream's are one of the latest releases from Sleek Make Up, so I picked up two shades that really caught my eye. Fandango Purple is a magenta purple with an almost raspberry undertone. It's a cross between MAC's Rebel and Heroine, with some hot pink thrown in to make it a bit more wearable. I really really love it. Birthday Suit is the perfect nude shade with peachy undertones that doesn't totally wash me out. I normally look terrible with nude lips but Birthday Suit looks fab, especially with a smoky eye look.
As for the formula, these really are matte! If you have any dryness in your lips whatsoever, you definitely need to exfoliate and moisturise before wearing these. They go on really creamy (not unlike the Rimmel Apocalips) but dry to a totally matte finish. Once they've set they really don't move, as with everything they won't last through a full night of eating and drinking, but otherwise they stay well! Fandango Purple also leaves a nice stain on the lips. If you want lasting power but don't like the dryness of a matte lip, once these have set you can pop a gloss over the top and it doesn't all smush together!
Overall I really really like these. There are 3 more shades in the range as well as 5 Gloss Me lip products. As far as I'm aware these are limited edition (don't quote me on that!) so I will be repurchasing these two shades as back ups since they are a bargainous £4.99!

ReplyDeleteThey sell Sleek in Tesco?! Brilliant news! I've been umming and ahhing about getting the rest of the shades as well, they're all so pretty! xx
DeleteOooh these look absolutely beautiful. I liiike! I love the Sleek products. I was lucky enough to win a wee comp on their Facebook page and pick up some free lippies, blushes and their Au Naturale palette (to join my other 6 Sleek palettes - ooops! :) ) These may be my next perv. xxx

They're not the worst I've come across! A bit of balm beforehand should do the trick, they go on nice and creamy which always helps :) xx

Aye I'm really loving them, think I might pick up a few more colours! xx
DeleteWow I didn't realise how matte they would like on the lips. As they're quite dry, do they flake off quite easily?

*look
DeleteSurprisingly no! They wear away a bit in the centre if you're eating/drinking but so far I haven't had any trouble with them flaking at all! :) xx
DeleteOh wow!
ReplyDeleteHow cool they're so glossy before!
They look great on you :) Love that darker shade!
