lip of the day Sleek Matte Me Velvet Slipper

Heading into work for a bit of overtime today, as it's dress down it seemed a good time to test out the darker of my new liquid lipsticks from sleek, velvet slipper. 

You'll have to excuse the photo, I'm not sure about the selfie camera on my phone, I think it makes my cheeks look huge. 

I like to apply liquid lipsticks, all lipsticks really, over a lipliner so I lined and filled my lips with honey berry by essence. It's a bit light but with the opacity of the liquid lipstick it's not a problem. Application is a little slap dash, especially in the corners of my mouth but I think we can safely say that's user error rather then a problem with the product. 

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to these formulas having only really used the bourjois version before but it was easy enough to apply. I did get a line on my top lip when I pressed my lips together while it was drying but it was easy to smooth out with my finger. These do dry down fairly quickly so don't hang about when applying or you could have problems. We'll have to see how it lasts the day but so far I really like it. The other colour I picked up is shabby chic which looks like it'll be better for work so unless it all goes horribly wrong today you can expect that later this week. 

Edit: So this wore fairly well. I checked it at 11.30 after 2 cups of tea, felt a little but gritty but didn't look patchy or anything. I actually think it looked better at this point, I'm not entirely sure why though. 

However by 14.45 I'd eaten 2 packets or McCoy's crisps and drunk a can of coke which was more then it could handle. To be fair, greasy crisps are the downfall of most long wear formulas as I understand it. However I refuse to stop grazing all day so I've learned to manage my expectations with lipstick. 

All in I'm really pleased with this, I love the colour and it wore pretty well. Good purchase all round I'd say.
