For today’s lipstick shade I decided to wear the final lipstick from the DuWop mini lipstick trio I bought a couple of months ago.

You may remember that I wasn’t at all impressed by the first shade I wore from the set, Nude, but I was proven a little wrong when I wore my second shade , Plum, which looked and felt a lot better than the first.

I thought my change of opinion was down to the fact that the pigment wasn’t good in the nude shade as it was much nicer in Plum, and because of that, the lasting power was better too.  But unfortunately today, I’m veering back towards my original opinion on these.

First off, the pigment on today’s Red shade is quite nice, and the colour pay off is very good after just one application. But my big problem with it is the wet-like consistency. There is just very little creaminess, if any, and therefore I’m left feeling a bit ‘meh’.

The lasting power is fine, and there is a slight stain element with the pigment, but it doesn’t seem to be as good as it was with the plum shade which I really liked.

The red is a cool toned red and actually, is nice enough given that cool tones aren’t usually my go-to. So, it’s not that this lipstick is very bad, it’s just that it doesn’t do much for me. I like rich, creamy formula’s especially with satin finishes, and this just doesn’t have either.

I’ve tried it, it was grand but, I won’t be trying it again!
