Today I'm going to be reviewing the Collection lipstick in 'Perrie' from the Little Mix collection. It retails for £2.99 and is available in Superdrug.
Perrie Edwards is known for her lavendar hair and her great lipstick colours. Purple being one her more statement lipstick choices.
You probably can't tell in the picture as it looks really pink (I took about 25 pictures of the lipstick and I don't know if it was due to the lighting but it just kept coming up pink. You can google the lipstick though and there's pictures that are closer to the actual colour.) This is a true pinky lavendar colour. You may look at it and think 'oh god how can I pull off lavendar lipstick?!', it's completely wearable due to the pink tones in the lipstick. It's not a super daring lipstick but if you're one for nudes and light pinks, you may be out of your comfort zone wearing this lipstick.
The packaging of this lipstick is very cute. At the top of the lid is a love heart with 'LM' written inside it in a cursive font. The finish of the packaging is a glossy black with metallic blue detailing. Each of the girls in Little Mix have their own little symbol so you can tell what product in this collection is who's.
As you can tell by the swatch it is a matte lavendar lipstick. It's not drying on the lips at all like some matte colours can be, infact this is quite creamy and moisturising. I absolutely adore the shade, which is probably why I've been wearing it nearly everyday since I bought it. The staying power is incredible for such a cheap lipstick, if you wear it for half an hour and wipe it off with your sleeve or whatever, you're left with a very nice faint lavendar stain on the lips (obviously if you wipe it off with make up wipes it will come off.) The longest I've worn it for is 8 hours and then had to touch up, not bad! If you're drinking or eating, it does come off your lips but it's not super noticeable as you're left with that stain.
This is my favourite lipstick at the moment and I absolutely adore it, it's great for these autumn months and is on-trend with the purple lipstick trend people are loving at the moment.
Overall, I highly recommend this person to anyone who has been wanting to try a purple lipstick and doesn't want to buy one that's bright purple or one that's too vampy.
Well done, Collection, you've got a winner here. I've already gone back to Superdrug to buy 3 more of these are the Little Mix collection is only limited edition.
I definitely think Collection should bring this colour out into their normal lipstick ranges as it seems to be quite a popular lipstick.
That's all for now,
