Review & Swatches: Sleek MakeUp Lip Vip Lipsticks

We have just started the second week of Summer and the heat is already intolerable. Yet, on those days when you’re going out but you don’t want to put on too much makeup; let’s say a bit of sunblock, bb cream, blush and mascara – a bright lipstick makes you look more put together and summery.

Now to be honest, these colours are totally out of my comfort zone however seeing that it is summer and bright lipsticks are a must in Summer, I thought I would give them a try and share my thoughts about them.

The first lipstick I have is my favourite shade of all; 1003 Backstage which is a peachy-coral pink. I feel that this shade suits me best out of the 3 shades I’ve tried.

Next up we have 1008 Flaunt It. It’s a bright coral-orange shade in a semi-matte texture therefore it has a slight gloss to it as well. It is definitely one of those shades that will attract attention; the name Flaunt It is very apt as well.

And finally, we have shade 1005 Hot Tottie. This is a bright fuchsia shade which is slightly more cool toned. This lipstick was part of the Whimsical Wonderland Collection.

All of these lipsticks are quite moisturizing on the lips. This is due to the fact that they contain Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Vitamin E to look after, and hydrate your lips. Another thing that attracted me to this collection from Sleek MakeUp is the fact that they’re extremely pigmented – one application is enough to get an opaque colour.  They apply very velvety and are quite lasting on the lips – not as long-lasting as their Matte Me liquid lipsticks – but for a bullet lipstick, they’re quite lovely. They also have a light chocolate-y scent to them, probably due to the shea butter which is a scent I personally love.

The packaging is really impressive for such a budget, drugstore brand, and Sleek MakeUp are clearly upping their game. Chic matte black casing, with a clear plastic section to see the shade (which I appreciate), gives them that luxurious feel and they do look quite pretty on your vanity. 

They’re such high quality lipsticks for a drugstore priced brand! I love them!

I got mine from Melita Health and Beauty in St Julians. Sleek MakeUp are imported by Paloma Cosmetics Ltd.
