Maybelline Color Sensational Matte Lipstick in 975 Divine Wine

So it's been a very long time since i've put up a blog post, so apologies for that. I've just had a lot on over the last few months and lack of motivation just resulted in blog neglect. However, I plan to change that with 2016 right around the corner and by doing so I'm now going to share with you my new love...

So a few weeks ago I decided on a whim to pick up the Maybelline color sensational matte lipstick in 975 Divine Wine. Which was very different for me because I don't really wear any shade that involves red. However this shade has converted me. It is a lovely dark burgundy shade perfect for winter/autumn. With regards to the swatches it looks more like the swatch on my hands when actually on the lips. 

This lipstick is a matte finish which I personally love and it has a creamy texture almost like a velvety feel. Which I personally love as it's not drying on the lips. Also I want to add that it smells divine too, well for me personally (sweet fragrance). The only downfall to this lipstick in my opinion is that it smudges... leaving red marks over your face, so you have to be careful when applying this lipstick. As for staying power I find that it lasts 4-5 hours without a retouch and stains your lips as it begins to fade.

Overall.. I have fallen in love with this lipstick, it honestly makes me feel sassy when I wear it (slightly odd thing to say, but hey). If you are interested in buying this it is avaliable in both Boots and Superdrug for £6.99. 

see you soon, han xo
