Friday Feels: Matte Red Lips

Dark lip colours are a trend that always returns during the autumn time, but it is a trend that I have always struggled with until recently, whilst I love dark lips on others I have always found it hard to get use to on myself. In the last few months, however, I have been allowing myself to be more daring with my lip colour choices and a colour that I bought recently and have loved is the Maybelline Colour Sensational Creamy Matte in Divine Wine. The name is a mouthful but the product, in my opinion, is outstanding.

I love the packaging of this product, it's sleek and very simple the casing itself is matte, tying in nicely with the actual lipstick.

As for the lipstick itself, I honestly haven't got a bad thing to say about it, the formulation is amazing, despite it being a matte it doesn't dry out your lips, it is smooth and easy to apply and is very different to a traditional matte lip colour.

My problem with matte lips has always been the staying power of the product, I hate when a lipstick feathers or leaves cracks on my lips, another reason I love this lipstick so much is because there have been days I have worn it for up to 6 hours and it has stayed perfect. The only time I can say I have noticed the colour fade is when I have gone out for a meal with it on, aside from that it's staying power is superb.

Well worth the money(£6.99), the Maybelline Creamy Matte in Divine Wine is easily my favourite product of the week and I would recommend it to anyone, as someone who felt they couldn't pull off a red lip this colour has opened that door to me and made me enjoy the dark lip trend much more.
