Hello!
In last month's Glossybox, all subscribers were given the option to pick which shade of a gorgeous Revlon lipstick that they would be sent and my train of thinking was that Winter is coming and you can never beat a good plum/red lipstick in the Winter months. So of course, I picked the darker option with Black Cherry.
As always I forgot that my glossybox was arriving and even forgot which shade I had picked until I opened the box and saw my gorgeous new lipstick staring back at me. Needless to say it was the first products I picked up and tried.

When I first opened it and swabbed it on my hand, I thought it looked a little too dark for me and I have to admit I was very gutted. I did persist and after applying to my lips I found that I actually really love with colour. It is slightly darker than what I would normally go for but I have to admit that I love the way it looks on me! Is that slightly big headed?
The main downside that I find with darker lipsticks is that you can obviously tell when they're starting to fade. You're normally left with the colour all around the outline of your lip and nothing on the inside. Like you've left the house after just applying your lipliner and nothing else. Luckily, this lipstick didn't leave me disappointed and actually lasted a good few hours without needing to be topped up.
Overall I am in happy with my pick and I can definitely see myself wearing this out a lot over the next couple of weeks/months. If you weren't lucky enough to get this in your Glossybox or you just picked a different shade, you can pick Black Cherry up for yourself for £7.99 at Superdrug!
