How Do You Like My New Red Lipstick?

I came back from holiday to a lovely little surprise parcel from Christian Dior… A sample of their new range of Matte lipsticks in Rouge 999. I would remind you at this point that I’m not affiliated to Dior but having spent a fortune on their counter in John Lewis, Cheadle recently, my name is clearly registered in their computers as ‘worth sending a tester too as she’s a ‘sucker’ for makeup!!”…..

Although it’s described as matte, I think it does have a slight sheen and therefore doesn’t feel as dry as some matte lipsticks do. It feels quite creamy and moist on the lips. I have to say I like it and after an hour or so, it’s still going strong..

This will definitely be a keeper and one I’ll be wearing to those Xmas Parties… sorry – I know you don’t want to think about Xmas yet but time is passing quickly and it will soon be upon us.

I think I may even upgrade from the ‘tester’ size to the real deal – they say size doesn’t matter but in this case I need more!

(now here I almost wrote “I told you I was a sucker”….then I realised how rude it sounded… so I took it out…. then I laughed! so hey ho…I can’t help it if I’ve got a ‘naughty’ sense of humour!)

I thought I’d show you how it looks. Let me know what you think in the comments below..

  5. It’s indeed pretty – when I try bright colors, they seem to stain the outline of my mouth darker than lips. Am currently in love with Boom by Cindy Joseph, which goes on cheeks as well.
