Now I understand that this is GARISH and really bright, but I never, ever, ever wear it on it own! Normally I tone it down with a gloss for nights out etc :) Like this:



As you can see, my lips are awful for swatches because the colour never applies evenly!! Doesn't seem to matter what I do it doesn't make a difference!! I always have that weird little patch in the middle of my bottom lip and my lips are really dark and pigmented so it can be hard to get a good coverage sometimes...

Pleae excuse the slightly messy application of the lippies, i did it straight from the lipstick (as in, without a lip brush) and without any balm, liner, or gloss (apart from the last one) to keep the colours as true as possible :)

If I had to pick my all time favourite lipstick of ever it would definately be Creme Cup! If you want it to be more intense, you can use a bit of lip erase or concealer, if you want it paler or brighter you can wear gloss over it, its so versatile! I love it :)

whats your favourite lipstick of all time? did you enjoy this post?
