My Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream Haul
#liptalktuesdays
Ugh. I'm sick. Again.
One of the hardest things about going through pregnancy with a toddler is that they bring all kinds of viruses. Just when you thought your immune system is strong enough, you're wrong. When I was pregnant with Henri, I never got a cold. But with this pregnancy, it seems every time Henri brings home a cold, I can't seem to escape it! Ugh! I'm now addicted to Berocca, and have face masks in stock.
That's the reason why I haven't blogged in 2 days. But I am feeling slightly better to sit long enough to write. And to make me feel better and cheery, I would like to tell you all about the recent Sleek Matte Me lippie haul I had. If you don't know already, I love Sleek's Matte Me in Rioja Red and I just got addicted to the formula so I went to the Sleek counter at Landmark (as soon as I heard that their Matte Me in Birthday Suit was in stock) and bought myself 3 more shades: Fired Up, Brink Pink, and Birthday Suit.

I don't think I even have to say anything more about Sleek's Matte Me Cream Lipsticks because they just speak for themselves. If you are looking to start a matte liquid lipstick collection, Sleek is a good brand to start because they only have 8 shades available (for now), so it doesn't get too confusing. Specially if you're easily confused like me when it comes to lipstick making decisions.
I can never do a good swatch on my hand unlike other bloggers where they do creative swatches, but nonetheless, here are the swatches of these three shades I got.
Fired Up is the kind of deep red I haven't seen in a while and that's one of the reasons why I had to get this shade. It's a deep kind of red that does not shout RED! when you wear it. It's sophisticated for night, but wearable during the day too. I know I say this about all red lipsticks I review, it's just that red is just so versatile! You'll see once you get addicted to red lippies too!

Dry and flaky lips are also emphasized with this shade. It's a little unforgiving.
Brink Pink was not what I was hoping it would be. It looked a lot different at the store than when I got home. I was actually looking for a pink lippie more like MAC's Girl About Town or LA Girl's Color Rich Lipstick in Baby Fuchsia. But as it turns out, it's quite neon.
And when I say neon, it's NEON.

Even though it's too neon for my taste, I still love wearing it with a nude eye and bronzed cheeks. It's so Paris Hilton.
Now, Birthday Suit is something every girl must own. It actually changes with every skin tone and that's what I love about it. On me, it looks a little peachy-nude, on some others it goes a little bit darker on. And on some women it even looks a little bit mauve.

So if you’re a newbie in terms of makeup or looking to experiment with a matte liquid lipstick, Sleek Matte Mes are fairly affordable and come in 8 shades, making them the perfect place to start! Similarly, I think they’re great if you’re already a fan of the matte lip product and are looking to expand your collection.
