Make Up Store Slim Lipstick 'Sheer 108'

Make Up Store is a brand which has only been on my radar since I started blogging and up until a few weeks back I hadn't tried any products but the reviews I've read always seem to be positive. There are 130 stores in 20 countries worldwide but it isn't a brand I've ever came across in Northern Ireland. The only UK store is on Carnaby Street, London.

Make Up Store Slim Lipstick 'Sheer 108' is probably the most confusing lipstick I own but in a good way. When I think of sheer lipsticks a couple of things spring to mind - feeble pigmentation paired with really bad staying power. Yes the coverage is sheer, you won't get an opaque colour with this lippy but what you will get is an absolutely gorgeous, vibrant lip look that still packs a punch and lasts hours. The staying power is fantastic thanks to the balmy yet stiff (can't think of a better word to explain what I mean) texture plus the colour gives your lips that healthy, just bitten look paired with a natural I've-Just-Exfoliated-My-Lips shine. Whilst it feels hydrating like a balm, it isn't slippy or glossy, nor is the colour wishy washy or patchy and it wears off evenly. Even the packaging gets a big thumbs up, it's a sleek, black matte metal with Make Up Store written in a glossy finish and different sizes.

It doesn't happen often but I have nothing bad to say about this lippy and hope that in the not too distant future it'll be easier for me to get my hands on more products from the brand.

'Sheer 108' will be available from early March.

Do you know of any websites that stock Make Up Store and ship to the UK?

  1. I haven't really tried many products from the make up store. I have seen this store on Carnaby street but i have never ventured in because i always get side tracked by mac and benefit etc etc.
    This colour is lovely and i really like the way that it is packaged in a nice slim way!

    Thank you for posting, i hope you have a great day! <3

    1. Hopefully they will open more stores around the UK, would love to have a swatch fest.The packaging is really well made, no chance of the lid popping off in your bag.

  2. This looks lovely, I can't say I've ever heard of Make Up Store before. How are their products priced in comparison to other brands?

    1. The Slim Lipsticks are around £9, I was expecting the prices to be similar to MAC. The colour is so vibrant for a sheer lippy, really impressed.
