As a music blogger, I tend to get a steady stream of singles and albums in my letterbox. Receiving a lipstick is a new one for me, but as a girly girl I couldn’t wait to try out The Gossling Lippie designed by Victorian singer-songwriter Gossling and cosmetic queen Shanghai Suzy.
I was in for a real shock though. It’s so bright. The internet assures me that fluoro coral is right on trend, but I’m just not sure that it’s me. Perhaps I need as much time in the sun as my Queensland-based pal Lisa who also gave it a whirl while she was visiting recently. I think the neon shade looks much better on her, although she wasn’t sure about it either.
The funny thing is though, while I’m not sure it’s the most flattering colour for me I really love this lipstick. It’s got a gorgeous subtle grape fragrance that reminds me of being a 90s girl applying Lip Smackers. Those Bonne Bell glosses never felt this luxurious though. It’s so decadently nourishing. It feels like heaven going on, and best of all, it stays there. I get really nervous wearing bright lippie but this one didn’t budge. It even survived the steak dinner my husband made us and a couple of bottles of wine. That sort of staying power makes it perfect for a night out with the girls.
If you’ve got the confidence to wear a colour like this, you’re going to love the Gossling Lippie. It’s available from the Shanghai Suzy website for $12.95.
