You can’t win ’em all, and I’ve just lost one. New matte lip stains like L’Oreal Glam Mattes and Bourjois Rouge Velvets are rocking my world, so I picked up a Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream in the hopes that it’d be similarly brillzo.
Petal, €6.49 via Boots, is a baby pink with a chalky matte finish. It highlights dryness and devours what little moisture is left. So, yeah, no. Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream ain’t happening.
Cherry Sue fixes this by mixing in a balm, but I’m never bothered with making a product work when I have others that perform with no hassle.
There’s not much more waffling to be done – it feels uncomfortable, it looks bad and it let everyone down. Weh.

It’s only saving grace is that it’s cheap but doesn’t seem like there’s anything really to love here!

Awww…I thought it was a good one. Love the color though.

A negative review!! Brilliant! Bloody hate blogs that don’t have any negative reviews, you can’t be a beauty blogger and love everything you try!
