L-R: Loved Up/ Exxxagerate/ With Flash/Without Flash Ohh have I perhaps broken rule number one (or maybe two) of blogging? Only take pictures in natural light...never artificial, warm lights...at night. However, after several requests I decided to post this as early as possible! This wont be a full review as I have not yet had the opportunity to rock these out for a while, this will simply be a quick 'show and tell!' I am rocking two of Sleek's newest True Colour Lipsticks. Above you can see Loved Up and Exxxagerate which both retail for £4.99 each. Loved Up is a cool hot pink which comes in a creamy sheen texture, whilst Exxxagerate is a creamy blueish purple which comes in a matte texture with slight gold reflects. Although I like Exxxagerate it is a bit disappointing colour wise. It looks a bit washed out above but this could be due to the warm lights but the picture is not far off from it's true colour I expected a deeper richer purple. If this is what you are looking for I recommend Wet N Wild's Ravin Raisin'. I am loving Loved Up (no pun intended...was that even a pun, who knows?) another great dupe for Candy Yum Yum! Both lipstick require several coats to get a decent colour pay off but once they are on they look great! I know a lot of readers wanted to see swatches so I uploaded them as fast as I could unfortunately I could only take them at night. If you wish to see these lippies in natural daylight just let me know with a comment below and I will get to it for this weekend! |

It's a great colour, perfect for adding a pop of colour if you're having an ordinary outfit day!
DeleteI'd love to see daytime swatches, however I am disappointed in the Exxxagerate as well. Loved up, looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteNo probs! Will get that up this weekend for ya! x
DeleteTo think I was lusting over exxxagerate but after seeing your swatches I don't think I'm going to like it at all!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will still probably get it to add to my lipstick swatches gallery but have a feeling I will give it away straight afterwards
