I bought this back in the summer - well, technically I B2M'd for it - and though I loved the colour and formula, I just never reached for it. Since I want to be more adventurous with my make-up, I've been reaching for colours I haven't worn for ages. Why haven't I been using this sooner?
On it's own it looks like a lovely bright pink, but when it is put next to a 'true' pink (like MAC's Angel for example) you can see that there are definite purple undertones, which I think is what makes this lipstick unique. MAC describes it as 'a ladylike mauve'. That explains the purple undertones then! It's a satin formula, so is quite creamy and very pigmented, but it has a pretty little sheen to it aswell. It is very opaque and I'd categorise it right bang in the middle of a matte formula and a cremesheen formula. Some swatches:
And a sloppy lip swatch:
If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! What is your favourite lipstick at the moment?
