Matte Lipstick is the big thing in the lipstick department nowadays and all lipstick loving girls are on the look-out for the perfect one: MOISTURIZING, PIGMENTED, LONG LASTING AND DOESN'T BLEED.
I, myself has been on the look-out for THE ONE for months now. My current favorite? SLEEK MATTE ME LIPSTICK!
Sleek is actually originally from UK and I first saw it on sephora.ph. I have been wanting to try their products for quite some time now. The only thing that was stopping me was that I won't be able to try the shades on my skin before purchasing and I was afraid to shell out a couple thousand bucks (Php) for make- up products that might make me look like a geisha or too tanned on the face.
Perfect illustration of how important finding the right shade is?
*insert cringing face here*
Although I originally wanted to try their foundations, concealers, and contours, it was with this Sleek Matte Me lipstick that I fell in love with.

The reason? They don't smudge and wont get erased easily after drying!
Just don't put too much so it will dry quickly. If you put just the right amount, a minute of drying will be enough.
Application is easy.
It comes with a liquid lipstick applicator that looks like this:
Once you pull it out of the tube, you wont have to dip it in again since it is very pigmented. The amount that comes out with the applicator also is just enough for my lips.
The texture is creamy. Not too liquidy but just the right amount of thickness. It applies smoothly and evenly too which I appreciate since I have tried other liquid lipsticks before and applying them evenly is a struggle. This Sleek Matte Me lipstick sticks on my lips perfectly like its my second lip skin and there is no flaking at all. I really love how smooth this looks on my lips!
It didn't feel sticky when I tried it on the back of my hand, it had a some sort of a velvety feel. On my lips though it felt just a tiny bit sticky. I find this little setback acceptable though. Other lipsticks are also like this when applied and it is better than the other matte lippies that feel so dry and even dry the lips. This one moisturized my lips instead. Beautiful kissable lips for date nights, anyone? *wink wink*

This lippie wont erase when I tried it on the back of my hand but when I tried wiping it off with a white cloth, I found that it transfers. I'd still give this lipstick 4.5 stars though for it's staying power since it really stays. UNLESS you drink and eat like I did when I was testing this on my lips, you wont have to reapply.
This lipstick comes in a lot of different shades, unfortunately I wasn't able to take note of all of them. I'd post a picture and update this though on my next purchase. Yes, I'm buying more of this.
