Quickie Review Sleek True Colour Lipstick in 'Amped' (Matte):

I've really liked the True Colour range so far - fantastic pigmentation and wear - so was excited to hear Sleek were expanding their line and introducing lots more colours as well as a matte formula! In the UK at least, matte drugstore lipsticks are few and far between, so I picked up one to try out. I'm poor or I would have picked up tons more, there are some gorgeous new colours!

I picked up 'Amped,' a hot matte pink:




I like :D

The first thing I noticed, wear-wise, is that it takes around 20 minutes for it to 'dry down.' It does do so, but not as much as a MAC matte would (I only have one MAC matte, Russian Red, but that bad bitch don't shift ALL DAY. Seriously) and consequently I don't get the same wear - perhaps 4-5 hours? I think that's pretty darn decent, though. Yes, it dried my lips out a little after wearing but I'm a dry-lipped sort of person - I've learnt to put up with it and less matte lipsticks do the same thing.

These little lippies will set you back about £4, though their introductory offer is two for £6! Bargain! I've got my eye on Mystic and Vamp. I reviewed another lippy in this line here if anyone want to see the packaging, etc.

P.S - I've ordered Candy Yum Yum, I'll be comparing when I get it!
