GETTING LIPPY I put three new-gen lip mousses to the test – budget option is great for cheap price
I DID not think I'd see the return of matte lipstick this year but it seems a velvet finish is the next big thing.
This week, I put three new-gen lip mousses to the test.

Maybelline Teddy Tint Lipstick is a great price to try the trend

The Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick by Maybelline is the best long-wear lip product I've ever tried, so I had high expectations of this updated matte formula.
Given the packaging, I was expecting vibrant colours, but once applied it's definitely true to its name as a tint – so if you want extra oomph, look elsewhere.
The formula is more comfortable than the matte ink lipsticks, so my lips didn't become dry or chapped.

But if you apply too much it ends up feeling sticky and dries patchy, so it takes some care to get it right.
For the price, it's a great way to try the trend.

I am willing to put pretty much any product made by Jamie Genevieve - make-up artist, and founder of Vieve - on my face – so if anyone can convince me to wear a matte lip, it's her.
This was the first one I tried, and I was immediately impressed. The formula is packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and castor oil which makes it comfortable to wear all day – in stark contrast to the matte liquid lipsticks I wore as a teen.
It's not patchy at all, and blends easily even over chapped lips, creating a soft, pillowy finish.
'Lasts better than any lip color,' beauty fans gush about $9 lipstick combo that 'doesn't smudge' & 'stays on forever'
One layer gives a sheer tint, or you can build it up for a bold colour, which makes it super flexible.

It's definitely my favourite of the bunch.

Sisley-Paris Colour Cloud has a subtle shimmer adds dimension - and you could even use it as blush

Much to my relief, the mousse feels completely weightless once on.

Apply it straight from the doe-foot applicator, or use your fingers if you want a more sheer wash of colour. It's extremely pigmented, so I found the latter worked best for me.
It stayed put the longest of the three, although it does start to feel quite drying so I had to apply lip balm on top throughout the day.
The subtle shimmer adds dimension and makes lips look fuller.
You can also use it on cheeks, which almost justifies the cost given you're getting two products in one.

This Colour Wow treatment is set to make a "major difference" with just one blow dry. It acts as a heat protector as it revives dry, dehydrated, and damaged curls. Over at Lookfantastic, shoppers can't stop raving about this hair treatment as it's amassed hundreds of 5-star reviews.

It makes a real difference to the finish of my hair. Love this product!" Another happy customer raves: " Has made a huge difference to my hair, don't need to use much as it goes a long way, wouldn't be without it now." This shopper says: " This stuff is magic. In the short time I've been using it, it's totally transformed my hair. I love it and it smells amazing." Whie another 5-star rater gushes: " This is such a gorgeous product!! Smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling so soft and shiny. Love the colour wow products, haven't been let down yet!"
