Advantages: Choice of colours

Disadvantages: Left a weird residue on my lips

I got this lipstick as part of a 3 for 2 offer at boots. I got the 'dare to bare' shade, which is basically a rich nude colour. I have to say that I wan't very impressed. When I out the lipstick on, it bled quite a lot even though it isn't a glossy lipstick. This made my lips look really messy. It isn't a very glossy lipstick and it isn't supposed to be a gloss, but i thought it made my lips look quite dry and didn't give a really full lip affect like some other lipsticks do.

The weirdest thing about this lipstick is although it is supposed to be a pale nude colour, it left a really bright pink residue on my lips when I took it off (which wasn't very long after I had put it on). This residue was like the consitency of a lipstick in itself, almost as if i had put on a spearate pink lipstick underneath. I thought this was very weird and it kept happening on subsequent days when I tried the lipstick again.

I quite like the look of the stick itself as it looks quite elegant and modern, which is one of the reasons I picked it as part of the buy one get one free offer - it looked like it was going to be a good lipstick.

The other good thing about this lipstick is that it comes in quite a lot of different colours, ranging from browns to pinks to reds - basically the range has all the staple colours you would want and more.

Overall I would not buy this lipstick again as it bled over the edge of my lips, making it look more like I had a dirty mouth rather than had new lippie on. I spent quite a while applying it properly and it still did this. Worse was the strange pink residue it left underneath. I also noticed the the end of the lipstick itself was tinged with pink the next time I went to use it - as if there was residue of another lipstick on the end. Very strange.

I was dissapointed with this lipstick a I had been looking for a really nice nude shade for ages and I could've used the 3 for 2 offer for something else.

Summary: Will not buy again
