I wanted to make a sizeable order from them, but considering the items would be coming from America I wanted to try a mini order to check the waters (postage time, packaging, hidden fees).
One thing I love about the brand is that there always seems to be a discount code available. I managed to get 35% off my order PLUS free delivery (made me very tempted to order more).
I ordered two lipsticks; 1995 and Underground.
I've always been a fan of the 90's lips and fashion so 1995 was definitely a lipstick I had to try. Underground was also a no brainer, something really grungy but pretty about it.
Top; Underground. Bottom; 1995.
Let me just start by saying - I'm REALLY happy with them. These lipsticks definitely feel and look matte on the lips, however they are not drying. It sounds unusual but i feel there is a certain amount of elasticity in them so that talking and lip movement doesn't alter the appearance. I have been wearing underground for 4 hours (I have eaten) and it is still going strong.
The colours I've purchased are very flattering on my pale skin and I'm excited to try more.
The packaging was not overly impressive but I don't really mind that as it goes straight to the bin anyway.
I ordered on the 11th, they arrived today (19th) which is understandable as they came from America. However I was unable to track my package and I didn't receive any updates on where it was or when it would arrive. I'm a patient person though so this didn't really bother me, I'd have been happy waiting up to about 10 days.
The items came in a tube of sponge, within a brown mailing bag.
I will definitely be ordering in the future, as a few of the glosses have caught my eye (despite me being a no-gloss kinda girl).
Keep an eye out for the next haul and some in depth reviews!
