Review on Sleek Matte Me

Hey guyssssssssssss it's the 23rd of December!!! It's almost Christmas Eve!!! My work hasn't slowed down, not one bit, but at least I was able to catch up on some writing and so far been able to give you 3 reviews on Maybelline's Crazy Sale. Do check out my recent reviews which were about:
1. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
2. Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Foundation
3. Maybelline Velvet Matte Lipstick

In connection with item number 3, allow me to give you a review of Sleek Matte Me, which is of a similar consistency to Maybelline Velvet Matte Lipstick. This is described by Sleek MakeUp as their Ultra Smooth Matte Lip Cream. I do believe it is ultra smooth, it is indeed Matte like more matte than anything I have ever used, and it is indeed a cream to matte finish.

Super thumbs up with the color! I got the Fandango Purple 431. It is the best plum color ever! I don't have anything else like it. However, other than this color shade which I absolutely love, there is nothing else that can redeem this product for me.

First, it is super matte that it dries my lips. It is that soul-sucking type of matte that is too dry and you can try rubbing your lips together and it is as if you are rubbing paper. No kidding!

Second it is too tacky! Press your lips together and it will feather away, or flake, or come off in patches. And it is funny because it is dry but it is also at the same time very tacky. I don't know what happened , Sleek!

Third it only has a lifetime of 2 hours. After that, everything sinks along the creases of your lips and if you as much as smile, it will break. It is that dry that it cracks!

Fourth, oh how it bleeds and smudges... It takes forever to get that really clean dark matte lip on point!

I tried using it as a tint and it works but it won't give you the beauty of full matte lips that are perfectly lined. I also tried combining it with lip glosses that are not tacky at all, and it goes on well, but of course, the Fandango Purple is not that intense anymore. Well at least the dryness and tackiness were decreased as well.

I was really heartbroken with this product and as such, will not purchase the other colors for fear of getting the same formula. I was so sad since this is the first product I bought from their store here in the Philippines, which they sell for PhP450 per tube at SM Makati Beauty Section.
