First Impressions: Trend It Up Ultra Matte Lipcream 085

Hey loves :)

DM has finally brought in Slovenia their own brand of makeup - Trend it up! I had to buy at least one of the products to see the quality. Today I'll share with you my first impressions on the ultra matte lipcream in shade 085.

The first thing I have to say is I don't like that the products don't have names, just the numbers.

Somehow I lost the receipt but I think I paid around 4€ for it and you get 5 ml of product. For comparison, I think Essence's XXXL matt lipglosses are around 2€ and you get 4,5 ml of product.

I picked up one of the darker, berry shades. The applicator is standard doe foot and somehow everything about this lip cream reminds me of Essence's ones :D

I have to say I didn't test it enough to give a full review, that's why only the first impressions since I used it a couple of times. To be honest, I'm not really a fan of it, at least not this colour, maybe the lighter shades are better, I'm not sure.

I feel like the texture and how it feels on my lips is exactly like the Essence's ones are. It feels slippery and doesn't completely dry down. I don't feel like it dries my lips but that's probably because the second your lips touch anything, it's gone. I don't like the slippery feeling since it moves all the time and than (at least this darker shade) looks gross since there's some missing on your upper lip or the other way around, it just gets streaky and not beautiful at all.

Unfortunately it didn't live up to my standards and I'm not sure if I'll keep it.

If you like this kind of lip products, you may like it, but I'd rather pick up some Essence ones again for the half of the price (and basically just 0,5ml less of product) and get the same result, I maybe even like the Essence's ones more.


What do you think about these lip creams, let me know if you have any lighter shades, how do they perform? .)
