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!
Absolutely love it! I just recently started experimenting with lipstick and lip stains. Im having fun though there have been a couple times I’ve thought ‘What have I done’ haha. Really love this color
Thanks Victoria! Much appreciated and keep experimenting.. do you have a favourite colour? x
I love most shades of red. The one I wear the most is by Marc Jacobs!
I’ve never tried Marc Jacobs makeup but I know my niece who’s a makeup artist loves it… I’ll have a look next time I’m makeup shopping (due a trip soon).. xx
Hehe I like it and I personally also put red a lot.
Fabulous – I’m really glad you like it Priyanka – Yep you really can’t beat some red lippy can you… Thanks for reading and taking time to comment which is much appreciated! x
Hi Wendy! Thanks for following my blog. Great color on you! 🙂
Fab! Thanks for the lovely feedback on the lippy! Much appreciated and hope you’re having a brilliant day.. xx
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment – I’m not sure how but I missed a whole bunch of comments on this post so I’m really sorry about the delayed response! I’m glad you liked the colour and it’s great to meet you and follow your blog! Much appreciated and have a fab weekened! xx
You really suit it but unfortunately I don’t! Pity.
So sorry for missing this (amongst several others on this post) – I’m not sure how but hey ho – better late than never. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment – I’m glad you liked it – I bet it would suit you too!! Much appreciated and sincere apologies for delayed response. xx
Looks lovely on you Wendy. Very warm and pretty.
Really Miriam – I must have been away with the fairies this week as I’ve missed loads of comments – not sure how… However, I’m on a catch up now – better late than never. Thanks so much for commenting and I’m glad you liked the colour! Much appreciated, take care and big hugs xx
That color looks very nice on you! 🙂
Hi Cheryl – I don’t know what I’ve been doing wrong this week but missed a whole bunch of comments – so sorry for delayed response! I’m glad you like the colour and thanks again for commenting – much appreciated! xx
I love my “red” lip stick. I think that color is a winner on you. Where can I get on the list for lip stick in the mail? 🙂
Hi Myra – so sorry about the delayed response – I’ve just noticed a bunch of comments that I’d somehow missed previously on this post.. I’m glad you like this one – hey maybe one of these days I’ll be able to set up a mini ‘mail order’ shop! haha.. Much appreciated – thanks for taking time to comment and I’m sorry about delay! xx
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.
I’m glad you like it. I’ll keep a look out for the Cindy Joseph lippy too.. x
It has to be bought via mail – Are you in England? Dunno if she ships there
Yes I’m in the UK – I’ll have a look on line.. thanks though x
That colour is gorgeous on you!
Ah- thanks so much – I have to say I liked it and it lasted really well. Much appreciated xx
🙂
Oh yes, definitely red and naughty 😉 <3
haaha – glad you like it Ralphy! x
The shade really suits you! It’s a nice warm red. Definitely worth a purchase!
Thanks very much – I’m glad you like it and thanks for commenting which is much appreciated! x
Yes I think that looks nice
🙂 I always look bloodstained rather than glamorous in red lipstick! x
Thanks Samantha I do need to go darker with foundation to get away with red but I do love red for a night out! Thanks for commenting much appreciated! Have a lovely day xx
