My love affair with Sephora own brand products continues and as you might have noticed, every time I go to France, I pick up some. Christmas was no exception.
And after swatching and hesitating when I first saw those months ago, I went straight for them this time.
I picked up numbers 17 Daring Pink, 18 All you need is red and 19 Pure Red, as I couldn't decide between them.
No suspense here: I love these lipsticks! Here are a few reasons why:
Packaging: I love it. It's sleek, black and elegant, nothing garish. And it gives that satisfying little click when you put thelid back on. It's the little things
Pigmentation: Omg, pigmentation heaven! One swipe and it's really opaque. No patchiness here!
Finish: 17 is classed as metallic on the website and has got a bit more of a sheen that the other two. These remind me of the MAC Mattene lipsticks in terms of finish. There's no shimmer or glitter but they don't feel completely matte when you apply them. As a result they don't feel dry either.
Wear: 10 hours? maybe not but a good five six hours And that's with lunch and tea included. It does leave a nice stain on and I just apply a bit of lip balm on top.
Scent: quite strong and fruity but can't quite place it. I don't find it unpleasant but obviously some people might not be keen on the scent
Price: 11, 90 euros
Has anyone tried these? What are your favourite long wear lipsticks?
I adore the Sephora Cream Lip Stains and these look great too.

DeleteLong wear lipsticks.That's a hard question has until today I didn't find a long wear lipstick that wouldn't dry my lips :)Anyway he colours you shown are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, not found one on uk high street!
DeleteI cannot wear them, they ALL dry out my lips. I use BAre essentuals everything and just add a bit of like colored eye shadow as a base coat to make them last longer.
