I bought this product earlier on today more out of curiosity than anything. It cost me £4.99 from Superdrug, which is pretty reasonable (about mid price for a lipstick in the UK). I usually wear red lipsticks so this was quite different.If you are looking for a deep aubergine lipstick then this is the one for you!

The size of the lipstick container was smaller than expected, however the actual lipstick inside was of decent length. I found it difficult to get the lipstick out of the outer packaging because it is covered in a rubbery sort of material (so it did not slide out of the packaging). When I finally got the lipstick out it was presented in a simple black container with the brand name printed in fancy writing on the side.

The colour was quite thick after one application but required another in order to get the full colour result. I found it not to be too patchy, but did stain the teeth despite dabbing it!

As you can see, the colour is very dark which is great if you were looking for the vampy look that is spreading the cat walks at the moment. I would probably save this for going out if I was to wear it. This would look great on darker skin tones as I feel it washed my paler skin out.
Advantages:
- Price not too high
- Creamy
- No bad odour or taste
Disadvantages:
- Slightly patchy
- Stains
- Difficult to remove from outer packaging
Final note:
If you are looking for a deep purple then this will be perfect and depending what sort of look you are going for, maybe try a slightly less harsh shade. I would not wear this just for everyday wear as it is quite striking and too dark. However, the colour is beautiful . I hope you found this review useful!
