Hey lovelies,
I've been chipping away at completing my Kelly Osborne lipstick collection, this time with a shade that's really outside the box for me - Strip Poker. Funny how I can be so much more comfortable in purple or teal lipstick than a pale nude!
I love the packaging of these lipsticks. I showed it side by side with the vintage MAC Dame Edna collection which it harkens to in this post.
Strip Poker is a pale peachy nude with a Matte finish. I usually have good luck with MAC's Mattes but Strip Poker's paleness made it particularly unforgiving. This swatch was taken after I'd exfoliated my lips and you can see it still doesn't look perfect. I do like it, but I'm unsure that it flatters me. I think I need to play around with some more eye and lip combinations!
When I tested Strip Poker for wear, it lasted for four hours before fading evenly and was minimally drying. The texture was creamy enough to make it easy to apply and the opacity was good too.
