I had a craving for something a bit different to my usual light pink lipsticks and I decided that a dark wine coloured lipstick was it. I had a parcel to pick up from Topshop (the fact that they now do free delivery to stores is possibly the worst thing that has happened for my bank account...postage costs used to discourage me from ordering little bits and pieces here and there. Not any more!) so I had a little browse of the make up while I was there too in the hope of finding a dark lipstick.
I found wicked, which is exactly the kind of colour I wanted. I really like it and I don't feel like it's too dark or gothy though it's very definitely a winter lipstick.
However I feel like it looks a bit silly on my lips because they're quite full. I think it would look better on smaller lips where it isn't such a dramatic look. I've tried it on a couple of times now for nights out etc and each time I've ended up wiping it off before I leave the house! I need to be braver!
Having worn it around the house, it lasts quite well and isn't too messy to wear though I'd say you still need to be careful when you're eating or drinking as it may well transfer across your face. Even when it fades it leaves a little stain behind it which I personally quite like.
Wicked costs £8 from Topshop - God I miss my student discount!
Awesome article thanks for sharing.
