Day 5:
So, we're up to Day 5 and this is kind of a weird one for me. I really like the colour, i really like the formula but i really, really dislike this colour on me.
I picked this up a while ago when Freedom first launched in a really great deal for 6 for £5 or something like that, i forget. Anyway, it was actually one of the ones in the set i wasn't hugely excited about from the image online but when i got it, i instantly fell in love with it. It's a vibrant coral/pinky/orangey colour that is such a lovely colour for summer but something about it, just is not flattering with my skin tone. I've mentioned before but i have very pink lips which makes buying nudes or lighter lipsticks a bit of an issue and this is one of them. On me, it looks kind of wrong as because it is reasonably sheer, you can still see my natural lip colour underneath. This really emphasises every imperfection on my lips and somehow makes my lip line stand out very brightly so there is absolutely no room for error. It makes me look like i have food round my mouth which is never ever a good look.
But putting that to one side. It's a beautiful colour, that is a really nice formula, super creamy and not super glossy or too sheer (although it is for me, but I'm just a bit odd) to be unwearable unflattering. It's a lovely summer colour and i think it's really worth the building up to get an opaque effect once in a while to really show off the colour.
Okay, so it's not going to last all day, it does need topping up every so often, perhaps more then normal, but in it's defence it does wear off really evenly so its not messy. I'd recommend a liner to make it last longer, as this does work.
SO basically, if this colour suits you, it's an amazing colour for the summer. The packaging is sleek and simple but practical and feels sturdy and they are almost identical to the MUA and Makeup revolution lipsticks.
And the best part is that these lipsticks are available for £1! Or like me you can get a set for £4-5. SO if one takes your fancy, I'd definitely recommend giving these a try or anything from the Freedom range so far as I've been super impressed with everything I've tried as of yet.
Thanks for reading guys and I'll see you tomorrow!
