As you may know, One Direction recently released a makeup line "Little Things" for Makeup Academy in Superdrug. The collection is made up of five lipsticks, five lip balms, five nail varnishes (one for each member, duh) and also three cheek tints. Being a One Direction fan (*cough* Harry Styles Fan *cough*) myself, I thought I would try one of the products to see what the quality was like.
Most of the colours are girly and light pinks and purples, obviously being aimed at the young teen audience targeting what girls age 10-14 are most likely to wear. I decided to buy one of the Kiss You lipsticks in "Be Mine" which is the shade with Harry's signature inside the lid and the colour closest to what I would wear. The "bullet" style container is very cutely designed and I enjoy the signature inside which reflects what MAC Cosmetics usually do when they have a celebrity endorsed collection, making the makeup seem all the more high end (being only £3.. it is a very cheap product!!).
The lipstick itself has the 1D logo on the top, until you apply for the first time, and little X and O's down the sides.. nice touch MUA! It is nice and creamy to apply and feels suprisingly moisturising and I wouldn't say it would dry your lips out after a few hours wear. I would probably recommend using lipliner to outline your lips before wearing this as it feels likely to smudge easily due to it being so creamy but aside from that, a really nice lipstick for such a bargainous price!
I think the next time I'm in Superdrug I will swatch the cheek tints and see what they're like and maybe pick up one of the nail varnishes to test out aswell (I've got my eye on the Zayn colour) .. that is when the shelves are no longer wiped and the fangirls have calmed down a bit!
Overall, I definitely recommend trying a One Direction lipstick, no loss to your purse really and genuinely a really cute little product.. I mean who doesn't want to fantasise about Harry Styles picking out a lipstick for you.. and it being called "Be Mine" ahhh keep daydreaming Kirsty..
