Hello Darlings.
Today post isn't my usual lip of the week, instead its little review of a lip product i bought a month of so ago and i thought i'd share my thoughts with you.
I hope you enjoy :)
As always i'll start with the packaging, i do like it, its cute and, well, sleek as the name suggests. But thats where my love for this product sadly ends, it is matte, very matte and long lasting which is great, but its extremely drying, even if you have moisturised lips. I don't like the applicator its not tapered enough for me and doesn't have enough precision so its not the easiest to apply. The smell, for those who have been following me for a while know the way a cosmetic item smells is important to me, and lets just say its not a pleasant smell, i can't quite describe it, but i don't like it. There isn't the greatest shade range, i think there is 5 shades available, although there isn't the greatest shade selection this one i have 'Petal' is a beautiful colour and the colours available are nice i would just like some more options.
I feel like i'm being quite harsh but i was really looking forward to trying one of these matte creams as matte lipsticks are some of my favourites, so i am a little diappointed. I think its good if you have perfect lips with no dryness and aren't planning to wear it all day everyday as it does dry out your lips.
You can purchase them here
I'd love to know have you tried any of the Sleek Lip Creams?

Great honest review. Such a shame that it is very drying and the smell isn't very nice, because the shade looks absolutely gorgeous. That's the trouble with matte lip creams, some of them do dry out your lips, I have had the same problem with a couple of my matte lipsticks because my lips tends to be naturally quite dry.
