Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Stick in Shocking Coral

 

 

 

 

I love my lipsticks, and recently I picked up this gorgeous coral pink one from Maybelline. Although it looks more red-toned in the bullet, it actually comes out as a really bright pink.

 

Here it is without flash:

 

 

And with flash:

 

 

I think it's a great statement shade that's perfect for both day and evening wear. It also has a slightly glossy finish for an extra glam look, as well as being long-lasting. It wasn't the smoothest to go on, but overall I'm really impressed with it, and I'll definitely be purchasing more Color Sensational shades.

Sleek MakeUP True Colour Lipsticks

 

Yesterday I went to Manchester for a catch up and shopping trip with my lovely friend Natalie, and we ended up popping into the new Paul's Hair World shop in the Arndale. Sadly, the original shop in the Northern Quarter burned down last month, and even more tragically, a fire-fighter lost his life, so they were holding a raffle to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity - I bought a ticket and won a £10 voucher to spend in store, and as hair extensions aren't really by bag, I decided to head over to the Sleek MakeUP stand and treat myself to two lovely lipsticks.

 

I chose 'Loved Up', which is a vibrant shocking pink shade (think Barbie levels of pink), and 'Stiletto', which is a classic, deep red that still has quite a pink undertone. Loved Up has a subtle sheen, whilst Stiletto has a matte finish on the lips.

 

 

 

Loved Up (on the left) seemed to apply a little bit more smoothly, however both had fantastic staying power. I got a good 4 hours of wear before they even came close to needing a touch up, even after eating and drinking. They're perfect for nights out, and since they're long-lasting, you won't need to worry about precise re-application when you've has one vodka too many!

As well as having fantastic colour payoff, Sleek MakeUP True Colour Lipsticks are formulated with vitamin E to keep your lips conditioned and hydrated, whilst protecting against ageing free radicals.

I'll definitely be investing in more Sleek MakeUP products in the future, and I can't wait to wear Loved Up for my night out in Manchester tomorrow. If you fancy making a cheeky purchase yourself, you can buy these lipstick for £4.99 here. Have you used Sleek MakeUP before? Which is your favourite lipstick in your collection? I'd love to hear your recommendations!
