Hi dolls. How was your weekend? I totally went crazy & bought loads of lip sticks… SIX to be exact! Superdrug had an offer on Sleek’s True Colour lippies so I snapped up some of them, along with 2 Collection 2000 ones.
RRP: £4
Sleek have recently expanded their ‘TRUE COLOUR‘ lip stick range to . I got ‘Candy Cane’, ‘Liqueur’, ‘Pink Freeze’ & ‘Heartbreaker’. They were on offer, 2 for £6… I couldn’t refuse it They come in either sheen or as a matte finish. I got 2 of each.
I would have walked straight past ‘Liqueur’ but as soon as I swatched it on my hand I knew it would be a lovely nude colour. It has a gorgeous purpley-gold undertone which would TOTALLY suite Asian skin tones. The first two are sheen and the last 2 are matte.
The sheen lip sticks glide onto your lips really easily AND stay for a fair few hours too. The matte isn’t as matte as my NARS Pure Matte Lipsticks but it’s still a nice finish. I always get pulled to all the pinky colours! I tried to stay away from corals as I got ‘Vegas Volt’ by MAC last week… & to be honest, a girl can’t have too many pink lip sticks
They can stain your lips slightly, but that’s what you get for highly pigmented products! As a whole, I’m SUPER happy with these Sleek lippies! If I ever need a colour (stat!) then I can always rely on them (seeing as I don’t have a MAC in my town)
RRP: £2.99
I’ve got one other Collection 2000 ‘Lasting Colour’ lip stick (in Berry Blast - which I absolutely LOVE!) so I thought I’d have a quick look to just see what other colours they have to offer. I picked up 2 shades of pink. I love how they don’t break the bank either
‘Pink Shock’ is a lovely Barbie pink, but isn’t too much on your lips (it seems to get toned down due to the colour of my lips). ‘Sweet Tart’ reminds me of a pinkier verson of ‘Vegas Volt’ by MAC - so those of you that are too scared to wear that you can always FEED your lips a bit of ‘Sweet Tart’ I love how moisturising & easily they apply!
‘Sweet Tart’ smells gorgeous too!
Here are some lip swatches of my favourites… I actually like them ALL, but thought I’d swatch these 4 for you dolls.
Seeing as I’ve been wearing bright lips a lot recently, I’m definitely going to make good use of these this Summer! What lip stick are you LOVING at the moment? Or what lip stick do you RUSH to for a bit of colour in your life?
Those colours look gorgeous, so pigmented, loving Sweet Tart and Liqueur.
They all look great on you…x

Thanks doll - liqueur is amazing! x
These colours are gorgeous!!!
I especially love Liqueur and Sweet Tart - so pretty xxx

I’m wearing sweet tart right now! Hehe x
I didn’t even look at Liqueur.. Why?! I really want it now!
The collection 2000 lipstick looks so moisturising! I don’t think I’ve tried their lipsticks xx
Seriously, you need to get your hands on the Collection 2000 lipsticks! xx
GORGEOUS photos! I love all the colours! My fave being Sweet Tart - i’m SO going shopping tomorrow xxx
LOL - I hope you grab yourself some of these! x
They all look so pretty on you. I need to check these out. Liqueur will be the first I purchase.
It’s deffo one stunning colour! x
ooh snap! I bought Candy Cane & Coral Reef yesterday from Sleek, absolutely loving Candy Cane! will blog about em soon, had to blog about my NYX lippy haul first! <3
I was gonna buy Coral Reef but I couldn’t resist the pinks! MYX lippies are good too x
As soon as I saw the Candy cane swatch *faints* 2mor darling u shall be mine!
LOL - you should totally do a LOTD with it! x
Do the Sleek lipsticks have a scent to them? xx
The Sleek ones don’t really have a scent but the Collection 2000 ones totally do x
I love these Lipsticks. Do they have a website? How would I go about purchasing them here in the US? Love your blog!
They do have a website. It’s http://www.sleekmakeup.com - & they ship internationally too x
I am not great fan of lipsticks they look great on others but I don’t think they suit me. However I will definitely have to get liqueur as it would be a great nude and quite wearable for a lipstick virgin like me. Must say Liqueur and sweet tart look gorgeous on you
You’ll love liqueur - it’s a lovely first colour to buy! I’m sure it’ll look amazing on you
Those swatches are amazing! I’ve seen so many reviews on these lipsticks but yours hast to be my fav! Candy cane looks alot like impassioned from MAC! Note-to-self to run into Superdrug tomorrow hehe x
Aww, thank you so much! Yep, I was thinking the same (however, I don’t have it so couldn’t do a comparison!) LOL hope you like them xx
I snapped up 6 of these babies as soon as they came out. I’m definitely going to have to go back in and pick up Liqueur and Heartbreaker - I’ve no idea why I didn’t in the first place because they’re stunning! Pink Shock looks so lovely against your tan, unfortunately it probably would end up flourescent pink on my lips because I’m so pale!
Oh gosh, I think I’m pale! LOL. Thank you! They are so many lush colours but I couldn’t get anymore!
Kaushal you’re really bad for my bank balance honestly! Since I love Vegas Volt so much I might just have to get Sweet Tart too
I swatched Liquer on my hand and it didn’t sway me but it looks like a nice colour on the lips xx
sorry Tass! Yessss, get sweet tart! x
I love all the colours you chose, but I think Candy Cane has to be my favourite, it’s such a bright colour, definitely perfect for summer
Very summery! And reminds me of Christmas a little too
gosh they all look so gorgeous on you! i need to try out these sleek lippies!! i just got MAC’s see sheer, loving it but it’s a rather daring for me since i’m new to the whole coloured lips thing! wish i could pull it off as well as you do!!
gorgeous doll!! love these posts xxxxx
I was totally like that before too but now I’m addicted to lipstick! xx
I am so jealous! I would do anything for SLEEK to expand to the US! These colors are wonderful!

All the colors look gorgeous on you!!! And your lippie application is so neat and perfect! Do you use a lip brush? Can you do a tutorial on how you apply your lippies? I’d love to have perfectly applied lip color on my lips like yours!
