| Estee Lauder Pure Color Velvet Lipstick In 'Black Cassis' £19.50 |
This of course is a lipstick from the Violet Underground Collection from Estee Lauder, I picked it up in Debenhams last week while I was meant to be browsing for perfume. I don't usually go to this brand for my lipsticks but I have to say I was impressed with the range they have. They are quite pricey to be fair I did feel a bit guilty as I definitely don't need another lipstick, I also know there are so many high street versions that are cheaper. The thing is as a girl who LOVES makeup I like having a few nice pieces in my makeup bag to reach for when I want a change from my daily makeup. I mean come on who doesn't like shiny gold fancy cases?!
Ive seen this on a few blogs over the past few weeks so I know its not new, I usually I try my hardest not to cave into a hype but obviously I did (nothing new there...) I love dark lipsticks especially in the winter, I usually swap my summery brights for darker matte lip colours when it gets colder. Lets face it summer has gone now and so its time for the winter hauls to come out, plus this shade will detract people from looking at my shiny red nose.

The one thing I do have to say is it is no where near as dark as it looks, as you can see on the picture above its more of a deep red. Don't get me wrong I will be wearing this a lot over the cold months, the shade is lovely but I have even seen it darker on other bloggers pictures.
Have you tried this? What do you think of the colour?
Such a beautiful colour !!!

Thank you, its finally time to put away our summer lipsticks :( x
DeleteThis looks stunning! Got any tips for someone who doesn't wear lipstick very often? Also, so you use a lip liner or brush to apply it? I've just got some matt lipstick and I just can't get a clean line around the edges.. Is it just me?

No its not just you happens to me all the time! I line my lips, apply the colour straight from the lipstick, blot and then line again. I think the best way is to line again after, as long as the pencil is a good match to the lipstick It should work. I did find this bleeds if you dont use a liner. I love matte lipsticks but they are a pain when you try to to get clean edges! :) x
