When autumn hits my dark lipsticks come out to play. When I wore this shade (mixed with Berry Much) on my OTK outfit post, a lot of you asked me what my lipstick was. Having recently had a little shop around Boots (heaven on earth?), I spotted a new range from Maybelline; matte lipsticks! Mattes were quite popular in the summer, but with darker and vampier (is that even a word?) shades available in the market I can totally see myself rocking this and many other matte shades through fall as well.
The shade I went with is Divine Wine 975, a deep, slightly muted dark burgundy colour that is fall ready if you ask me. With reddish and brown undertones, this lipstick is very eye catching and not for the faint hearted. I wore this to church and people gave me weird looks; imagine the mix: a pale white girl dressed in all black with an intense dark wine red lipstick. I however felt pretty awesome wearing this and that is all that matters right?
Right so, going back to why we are here; this bullet offers a mostly matte finish. I say mostly because it is somehow satiny too meaning it has a creamy texture despite being matte, which is unusual for matte lipsticks. The velvety feel made it much more comfortable to wear compared to other matte lipsticks I have tried; it almost felt like a silicone primer on my lips but not quite as dense and waxy, if that makes sense.
When it comes to the formula, this offers great colour payoff. The pigmentation is tough but not totally non-transparent, and due to its creamy consistency I find that this goes on smoothly and evenly and does not pull into lip lines as the colour wears off.
Speaking of wearing off, durability is around 5 hours, more if you do not eat nor drink. As it fades away, it does stain your lips slightly and I always find the need to reapply as I do not find the stains pleasant looking.
I notice it to be neither drying nor hydrating, and as with most Maybelline lipsticks it has no taste but a sweet fragrance, which I does not bother me too much but may not be for everyone.
All in all, if you are in the market for a dark burgundy lipstick, you cannot go wrong with this one. It makes a great dupe for MAC's Diva despite being a tad darker, but for £6.99 at Boots and Superdrug, you will agree with me that it comes close enough. Like I said at the beginning, I like wearing this on top of the Berry Much crayon also from Maybelline; the result is a beautiful bold colour with both berry and reddish undertones.
Tell me, are you all up for dark vampy lip shades this fall? If so, let me know some of your favourites below!
Thanks for reading beauties and hang in there, Friday is almost here!

Lovely colour! Normally matte lipsticks look bad on my chapped lips, but this sounds very promising! This year I promised myself I will embrace the dark lips trend: so far I bought 3 extremely dark shades from Sleek, now I only need the courage to wear them outside my house:))

It's a shame I hadn't read this post yesterday as I was looking for a replacement to my favourite lipstick shade, Growl by Illamasqua (as I wanted to try a different lipstick with a better formula) - Although not completely the same, the closest I could find was Diva by Mac and I did try and scour Boots first for a dupe but all of them were much lighter than I wanted. Hadn't spotted this one though, so went and purchased Diva in the end but I'll have to go and have a look at this one next time, as it's not a bad price and looks great.

Confesso que até um tempo atrás eu não curtia cores nesse tom. Mas de uns 2 anos pra cá tenho gostado, e muito! Achei lindo esse batom. Eu tenho um batom mate também, porém é líquido. Eu gosto dos líquidos porque de certa forma tenho mais facilidade pra contornar os lábios. Como o seu tem essa textura cremosa, acredito que ajuda nisso também.
ReplyDeleteE realmente, batons mate tem uma durabilidade muito maior! :)
Beijos,

I've been looking for a new wine coloured lipstick to replace my decaying staple for a while now, and I think I've got to get my hands on this one. And girl, I FEEL YOU. I wear dark lipstick to church most of the time, and I'm dressing in black most of the time (surprise) and you should see the odd faces the brethrens throw me, ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN. It's adorable.

I'm actually yet to ever own a lipstick shade of this kind! I know they're perfect for this time of year but I suppose I've never really had the guts to wear a lip shade this dark! (Despite maybe a red on special occasions..) But I may have to invest in one as I keep seeing this type of lip shade everywhere and it's slowly drawing me in! The lipstick you've mentioned in this post looks like such a lovely, deep velvety colour and looks very nice on the lips! I'm sure you wear it so well :-) Great post!
