Today's Blog post is going to be about all about the 'Matte Me' Lipsticks, with a lip swatch of each colour. Each tube contains 6ml/0.21fl.oz, and is not tested on animals. These Lipsticks dry within a minute of application and once they've dried they don't budge. I picked up 6 shades, they're a mixture of the 2 collections that were released. 

Petal is a pale pink colour, its from the first collection that was released. It applies very smoothly and dries very fast. Before applying these matte lipsticks preparation is necessary if you have dry lips. Exfoliating them is perfect to get rid of all the dry skin because if you don't do this it will show badly once you apply the lipstick.

This shade is also from the first collection that was released, so the wand in these is slightly different to the newer ones. Birthday Suit is the ideal nude with a bit of a pink undertone, it is perfect to wear on daily basis.

This shade and the rest of them are from the new collection. Originally when I swatched this on my hand I hated the shade and thought it wouldn't suit me at all, but after applying it on my lips I was extremely happy with the way it turned out. 

The lipsticks from the second collection have a different wand, it's slightly angled whereas the original one is straight. Also the consistency is slightly different, these newer ones are a bit more tricky to remove. 

This shade is my personal favourite. It has a slight purple undertone, and is not too dark. When you've applied these lipsticks you'd want to watch out for oily foods and hot drinks, the lipstick starts breaking and falling away, and re-application isn't the best idea especially with the darker shades because they become clumpy and patchy and feel uncomfortable and dry on your lips.

I love this shade so much, it's really good for a more dramatic look. It's like this dark purpuly colour. I think it would suit every skin tone. 

This shade is lovely, bright reds don't suit me at all I usually go for darker reds so I thought this shade would be perfect and it is but with slight problems. It gets a bit patchy as you can see in the photo, I don't know if its to do with the consistency or how I applied it. Although it's not too bad when you're not looking at it up closely the shade really suits my skin tone and even though it gets patchy I still love it.

So that's all the shades swatched and reviewed! They're definitely worth getting and they only cost €6.99, you can buy these from sleek.com or if you live in Ireland boots.ie they currently have a sale on them2 for €11 so go grab them while you can!
