So, let's talk about a naughty little purchase I made last month shall we? I don't often splash out on an unnecessary makeup item (shush mum, most of the makeup purchases I make are for review purposes!), but I was caught up in the Chanel buzz in the Selfridges beauty hall, and under the guidance of a not-so-spend-thrifty friend (yes Sam, I'm talking to you) I may have handed over a little more cash than I care to admit, to leave with a little white bag.
Let's just take a moment to admire the Chanel packaging. Just the bag added a little spring into my step for the rest of the day, there's an unequivocal luxury associated with Chanel, that for a high-end lover like myself, just brings on the excitement. The black and gold packaging just oozes class, and I feel like a proper lady when I whip this bad boy out. I love the spring mechanism that holds the lid on the tube (oh my god, just the sound is satisfying), and the engraved Chanel name in the actual bullet makes me want to not use the lipstick, so as not to ruin it. You get the picture, I like it.
Now onto the lipstick! It wears slightly matte, but Chanel quality control allows for no dry lips here. In terms of wear time, you're going to get a good six hours or so out of this (obviously this depends on what you're up to, if you're indulging in a Big Mac/cupcake/nineteen cups of coffee/makeout sesh then the wear time will probably be a little less!). I love the colour, it's pretty bright in the bullet, but wears a little more daytimey, than something like MAC Party Parrot. This is my must have Spring/Summer lipstick of the moment.
I like to wear this with a flick of winged eyeliner and a little bronze and highlight, alone or, more recently, with a slick of the Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate on top. It's so pretty.
This lipstick was worth every penny!
