I was totally swayed by the beautiful packaging. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has done something like this?

£65 Shock

I can just about get my head around £20-odd.

Where was it from?

Tom Ford? What colour is it?

That's an awfully expensive lipstick. Does it have magical powers? Grin

I probably would have done it in those halcyon days when I had plenty of disposable income.

But... how good was the packaging exactly? Grin

Honestly, that is ridiculous. I've spent £20-odd before..,what lipstick was it?

Well, obviously we need the brand. (Nosy)

And a photo of the packaging! Shock

I bet it was Louboutin? I think the packaging looks a bit like a butt plug.

I'll happily drop a few ££ on a Chanel lipstick or a few £££ on a Tom Ford lipstick but my inner frugalleer recoils in horror at the price of Louboutin's lippies.

Damn! The packaging looks good.

Oh it's beautiful! We need to see if it's a nice colour too though...!

I nearly spent £100 today on beauty stuff... There was a free gift BlushBlush but I got to the checkout and my code for the gift didn't work! So I backed away. Will probably still buy all the things but not in one go!

I admit I have one of these... It was a Christmas present for my wedding. I then bought myself the lip liner too. Pure madness.

They're good, but I keep going back to my Mac ruby woo as its smaller and easier to carry.

When you wear it, apply and blot 3-4 times to get a really solid colour. I found applying with a brush didn't make it stay on as well.

Glad I wasn't the only one suckered in Wink

Meh.

I've never heard anyone say the actual lipstick itself is much good.

NoTractorsAtTheTable · 06/08/2016 23:02

Oooooh

How does it feel when applied? Is it lovely, like being licked by angels, or is it dry (heaven forfend!) and needs a moisturising base coat? Does it flake?

I must know. Please describe. In detail. Grin

Definitely a butt plug

Did no-one tell them? Confused

I felt a bit meh about it, then I saw that it comes in a presentation box.

Now, you don't get that with Revlon.

I hope the lippy is three times better than any other you have. I don't like the packaging at all. But it's your money, you're free to spend it exactly where you like.

sorry OP opened this expecting to be green with envy at the lovely packaging but no, its not doing it for me. At all.

any lipstick over the 25/30 quid mark and I feel guilty and then experience 'buyer's remorse' and the more that kicks in the more let down I feel.

each to their own! i do hope you love it.
