Amy's Life: Pixi by Petra Mattelustre Lipstick

I'm not much of a lipstick person, I'll be honest. I've always lived by the philosophy that it's either eyes or lips. If I wear both, I look like a drag queen, which is just not the look I'm going for. And I'm way more of an eyeshadow typa gal any way.

The one time I did try to be adventurous and leap out of my comfort zone with both the eyes and lips, I coincidentally ended up in a Gay Bar with a Drag Queen. She quickly pointed me out and asked if I worked in Boots because it looked like I'd tested all the colours on my face.

So, point proven. Advice taken. Nuh.

I've gone through the phases of just wearing very natural make-up and some popping lipstick. Usually I've gone for a red on a nice warm day, and I've really liked it. It's always a confidence thing with me though, so this is few and far between! On this occasion, I've got a 'Pure Fuchsia'* and oh, it's daring.

It's really soft to put on, but as it's such a bright colour it needs to be put on perfectly. Now to the lipstick professionals, this won't be a problem. To someone who doesn't really wear lipstick, it may take a little more effort to apply. I did really like it though, and the colour actually looked a lot better on my skin than I anticipated!

Thumbs up for me.
