Hello dears,
this time of the year i feel in the mood of dark lips. I have some lipsticks to share with you.
They might look the same colour but from the swatches you can see that they are not |
From the lighter to the darker shade:
Maybelline 14h lipstick in "260 Always Plum": it looks darker from the bullet than on the lips and can be a winter everyday shade. It's a muted plum colour with hints of grey and pink undertones. You need two or three coats to reach a full colour. The finish is matt and the staying power is amazing, it stays well for 5 to 7 hours and does not smudge at all. It's a bit drying so you need to scrub and moisturize your lips before the application. The smell is chemical cherry but it's not bothering at all. If you are not too brave to wear deep dark lips that's a good compromise.

Diego Dalla Palma Liquid Lipstick "117 Geisha Noir": That's one of the best liquid lipsticks of all times. The colour is a red with a hint of brown not too dark and very elegant, i think it's super flattering on every skintone. It's has a velvet matt finish, it's extemely confortable on the lips like you are not wearing anything due to the formulation with aloe oil and hyaluronic acid. It doesn't even transfer and on me lasts 8 hours or more, that's pretty impressive. If you eat or drink it fades just a tiny bit in the center of the lips but it's barely noticeable.

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick "392 Tanzania Rubis": How cool is the packaging of this lipstick!! It's a Christmas limited edition and as soon as i saw it i just couldn't resist. It's a deep plum red, quite pigmented and you can choose to do just one swipe for a hint of colour or layer it to reach a full coverage. It has a sheer finish and the staying power is like many other l'Oreal sheer lipsticks so it's around 4 hours without eating or drinking. I have to say that it's very confortable just like a lip balm and that's a big thumbs up but unfortunately there is something about this colour that doesn't convince me 100% so i don't reach for it a lot lately. The good thing is that the application is very easy so when i'm in a hurry i will definetly pick this one without even thinking.

Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick "975 Divine Wine": This lipstick is absolutely one of the best formulation of all times! And the colour is just perfection. It's a brownish burgundy shade or a deep berry red depending on the light. On my skintone it looks pretty brown and dark but it's not the kind of "punch in your face" dark and that's why i love it sooo much. It's very elegant and every time i have it on i feel powerful like i can rule the world!!...sorry for this exaggeration but i suggest you to try it and you will see the effect :-D
Even if it's matt you reach full colour in one swipe and the application is so easy that you don't even need a lip liner. Even if it's matte it's creamy, confortable (as obviously the name suggests) and lasts forever without fading for a long long time, let's say 8 hours!! I'm super impressed!!! It's the lipstick of my dreams but unfortunately in Italy the Maybelline Creamy Matte lipsticks are available only in 5 shades: a nude (too light) a red (that a have and it's stunning), a shocking pink (that i hate) and an extremely bright coral (that it's not flattering on me). If you have the chance to put your hands on these lipsticks in your country go and get them immediatly because they are cheap and have a great quality, even more than a lot of high end lipsticks.

Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color in "Cherry Bomb E918D": I have almost all the Megalast lipsicks from Wet n wild and i use them a lot but not this one. I never wore this one since last week and after trying it for the first time my mind went "WOW" Now i have the urge of getting more shades like this one. From the swatches online it looked brighter than it actually is. On me it's almost a black reddish brown and i am so happy about that! That the darkest shade i own but from now on it will never be alone anymore ("Blackmail" form Urban Decay is waiting for me).
As for the texture it's like all the other colours of the range, it's matte and a bit drying but it's so dark that even if i have dry patches they are not visible at all. The staying power is pretty decent, 5 hours and than it starts to fade in the center of the lips.

Take care! Love you :-*
