Mellow Ultra Matte Lipstick in Madness Review

Loved this product! As a fan of lipsticks I can definitely say that the Mellow Ultra Matte Lipstick in Madness is something i would use again! This product does actually glide on smoothly almost as smooth as a lip gloss and the colour is bold and bright which is exactly how red lipsticks should be! It stays on extremely well although is easy to smudge eek! Overall I really enjoyed this product and for $15 its definitely worth a buy.

The packaging of this product is a flat black box which didn't reveal much of what was happening inside. The tube itself is not super exciting either, but the lipstick is a richly pigmented, bright true pink-based red. Its texture is not greasy at all, and goes on matte but smooth. It is easy to direct around the lip line and feels nice to wear. I found it wore off quite quickly, but all red lipsticks require maintenance really, don't they? Overall I'm pretty impressed, and will definitely be wearing this when I go out to paint the town... red! ;)

So I'm going to start at the very beginning with this one. The packaging is lovely and the lipstick container is too very sleek in a matt black design. It holds so many promises. Now to opening up and seeing the colour it looks rich in a deep red with a glistening to it. So first time use ... Easy to apply glides on smoothly and easily I did have to use a wax lip liner of fear of bleeding. But went on beautifully. The colour was lovely but not as dark as you would think by looking at it. The one downside to this product and I could only find this one, was that it claims to be ultra matt, and to be honest it wasn't matt at all. It had quite a shine to it which would have been all the lovely moisturising agents. Now that leads me to my next positive, it was lovely and moisturising. It felt smooth all day and all night. Colour stay power.... WOW! This lippy sure does stay on. After all day wear I only have to reapply once after dinner but that was only because I wanted a fresher lip for work not for the lack of colour. All In all this product is great. Would have loved it if it was more matt but certainly worth the money and would purchase more colours.
