It's quite cutely packaged in a strange bulky way...
I found this on ebay and had to buy it, not only because it cost me less than £2 but also because I'm a lover of the 60's fashion and being Mary Quant (inventor of the mini skirt and extremely influential designer) I was expecting erm...something not quite as crappy as the product is!
Mine is in the colour 41 Artful Pink which as you can see from the swatch below is such a pretty shade;
However I was so disappointed with the result;
It applies unevenly as you can see and highlights dry patches on my lips - making them look really chapped when I can confirm they are not at all!
Does anyone remember the little make up sets you'd sometimes get with a Barbie?
It is pretty much an exact dupe for one of those monstrosities - it smells the same and leaves a horrible, horrible taste in my mouth. My hatred could be due to the amount of shimmer in the product (I bought - and returned - an NYX lipstick of a similar colour and finish as I find they are extremely unflattering on me personally) but I doubt I'd try any more from the range because, although it was cheap, you can tell and it's just not a nice product :(
Oh dear, what a shame! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis looks awful, such a shame! xx
ReplyDeletedoes this have purple/lavender undertones to it?
ReplyDeleteI know! It's such a disappointment xx
ReplyDelete@ ANONYMOUS: It seems to have a little purple-ish reflect in the shimmer
i just bought 'peach promise' and i had to know if it was just me or whether ALL of the lipsticks smelt bad. it smells like cheap soap. although the colour is very pretty it leaves a disgusting bitter taste in your mouth :(
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty color but unfortunate it does not work that well. Thanks for letting us know how this was!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered 'red scorcher', I hope it isnt as bad as the reviews seem! anyone experienced the other colours?
