Sleek Lipstick in Papaya Punch
I still haven't finished reviewing my whole lipstick collection but I have left one of my favourites to be reviewed last. I don't even think I can do this lipstick justice in the pictures above as it's just beautiful in real life. I had originally picked up Sleek's Papaya Punch for my sister as a gift when I was in Scotland two years ago and after she raved about it so much I ordered one for myself. This was the first reddish lipstick I've ever loved and started an obsession with the colour red.
Papaya Punch is a vivid dark coral although it is warm it's not really orange either. The only dupe of it I've come across is the new Tarte Glamazon lipstick in Timeless but it's more than 3 times the price. This is a shade that works year round and not only does it brighten up my fair skin it looks great with a tan too. Sleek's shades are meant to suit all skintones from very pale to very dark so with it's bold pigmentation I can see it working for everyone.
This lipstick is a matte formula and I think Sleek's mattes are some of the best I've come across. It is quick thick but it's creamy and easy to apply. No lip liner is needed as the shape of the actual lipstick makes it easy to get a precise application. Papaya Punch lasts around 4 hours (only because that's the longest I go without eating) and stays in place well. It isn't drying but it's not necessarily moisturising either so in the winter I tend to pair this with a clear gloss over top.
As someone with a huge lipstick collection this is one of a handful that I'd repurchase and it seriously is one of the best. The only unfortunate thing is that (unless you live in the U.K.) you have to order this online but I've ordered from Sleek many times and the shipping is very cheap and they are reliable.
Availability: Sleek ($6.49 USD/Shipping is $2.77 USD)

Thanks Rachel :) I think you do!
DeleteVery pretty! I like how it's not a full on red and that's it's also matte. This shade would be a great red for the summertime. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a great shade for when you don't want to go full on red :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Jasmine :)
DeleteLove that color! It looks somewhat natural - but punchy (if that makes sense) I need to start a Sleek wish list and then just order it all at once.

DeleteOh my this looks AMAZING on you! I need to try out some Sleek lipsticks!
