On a bad day there is always lipstick!
Why a Statement Lip?
I love a statement lip, whether that be a bright, bold colour or a slightly unusual colour. If you are in a rush a statement lip is a really good way of making it look like you have gone to more effort with your make up. If you like to co-ordinate you can tie the colours of your outfit in with your lippy, or if you are like me you will prefer to clash and have a contrasting colour, either works really nicely. People are often under the misconception though that a statement lip has to be bright... WRONG! You can make a statement with cooler tones too just by picking a shade that is a little out the ordinary like grey. There are so many colours available on the market now, and with lots of budget brands upping their game, it's never been cheaper to be bang on trend too!
BOLD Statement Lips aren't for the faint-hearted,
but I 
them!
Matte or Satin?
The finish of the lipstick can really make a difference to your look. A matte lipstick will stand out more because the finish is flat, meaning it isn't as sheer so it reflects less light. For this reason a matte finish can also make a cooler tone look that bit bolder and more defined. A satin lipstick tends to be more sheer and glossy. Women often prefer this finish because they feel like its less drying on the lips. My top tip for wearing a matte lipstick is to make sure your lips are nice and smooth so that the lipstick doesn't cling to dry patches. You can buy a lip exfoliator or gently use your toothbrush in circular motions to remove any dry skin.
Subtle or Bright?
A bright lip colour that really stands out can instantly add glamour to your look, one of my favourite brights has to be coral. A bright lippy will instantly take you from day to night, just add a little more mascara and you are good to go from the office to the bar! While cooler more alternative shades can instantly make your look more quirky, my favourite shades include mink, grey and lilac.

The review...
I have to say I tried the lipsticks for the first time this evening and I was really pleased. Firstly all three products glide on effortlessly and feel super creamy. Unlike many matte lipsticks, they didn't feel dry. This is probably because of their demi satin-matte finish. The pigments are really strong and I layered the lipstick and liquid lipstick to add more depth, which worked so well. To see what they were really made of I wore all three products to the gym. I applied them before I left the house, did a back and arm workout, which included some hefty deadlifts, I then threw in a 20 minute HIT session on the treadmill, drank water regularly and the LIPSTICK DID NOT BUDGE!...AMAZING!
These Lipsticks are an absolute treat for the lips!.... I LOVE THEM
