Black Cherry

 Hello,

this lipstick I purchased last year and it took me almost a full year to finally try it out. I was just saving it since I consider it a more luxurious product but I decided to finally go through everything I own to see what I even have :)

It is Elizabeth Arden plush up lip gelato in Black Cherry. The packaging is really nice and different. To open it up you have to press down and push upwards on the front brand name and the lipstick case jumps out :)

It is true to its name since it is very dark and somewhat plum colored. I personally really like these cool tones shades but I hoped to be very glossy and sheer, to just tint my lips a bit. It is in fact a full coded lipstick with a lot of pigment but it does apply patchy and somewhat glossy.

This is rather a light swatch but if I try to go full on it gets patchy and uneven. I was a bit disappointed but I realised that it leaves a stain if left on my lips for a few minutes. Now I put it on, do my make-up as usual and when I am about to go to work I just blot my lips to reveal a cool stain. To nourish my lips I like to apply clear lip bam which doesn't disrupt the color. The stain sticks around for a few hours and then wears off evenly. I ended up really liking it but as a stain not as a lipstick :)

I am even thinking of keeping the packaging once I finish it off since it is very cool and fun to use.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
