Before I get into this blog post, I was gifted the No7 lipstick to review. All opinions are my own.
When I first started to love makeup my first lipstick was from No7, I used to love them but my love quickly got turned to other brands. I didn’t quite fancy the chunky shape I prefer a sleek slim lipstick.
I recently received my first brand ambassador package which included a No7 lipstick in shade raspberry silk. My first impression where wow look how sleek and classy the packaging looks. The shade looked like a vibrant bold colour as you can see from the swatch below.
With vibrant colours I always tend to use a lip brush so I can have a smooth application without any mess. I found you only need one coat to create a vibrant look, if I can remember correctly I used to apply more than one coat with previous No7 lipsticks. The ingredients must have changed or something along the lines.
With all new lipsticks I give them a fair 12 hour test, how long it applied on, do I need to do a re coat, does it come off when I eat.
The answers:YES, after 3 hours I noticed the colour wasn’t as vibrant as before plus my lips started to feel dry. I reapplied a coat which helped a little with the dry feeling. During lunch it came off, there was some lipstick on my sandwich which wasn’t cute.
Overall I love the look of the lipstick it classy and sleek, the colour is vibrant. Will I be using this as a everyday lipstick;NO but I will use it for a night out.
