Apologies dolls, it’s been a while- forgive me! I felt compelled to write this article and you’ll see why  🙂 

So I was scrolling through Coloured Raine’s website and I saw ‘Roulette’. I instantaneously fell in love – the colour is so unique. It’s a burgundy shade with deep purple undertones. It looked sultry and I knew it was the one! Lool I know what you’re thinking – Mara calm down it’s just lipstick. But no, this colour was intense and it would suit any outfit!

I have other Coloured Raine lipsticks including Tootsie and Truffle Raine. If you want a review about these products, check out my ‘Brown is the New Red’ post. The formula and pigmentation for these two were spot on. Ok back to this story:

So after 2 weeks (due to the international shipping), Roulette finally arrived at my doorstep. I tore open the box and put it on my lips. Man, was I disappointed! This is what it looked like with 2 coats:

Yes, a mess! A messy mess! It’s a mess from the pit of hell! The formula is not good as it’s patchy and this formula needs a lot of improvement.  

When this lipstick finally dries, it crumbles and it’s impossible to even out. This is extremely frustrating as it’s just a lovely shade but it’s unwearable.

This is Roulette after 30 minutes of application. I ate some crisps and drank some water. I have no words..

I’m a big fan and lover of Coloured Raine products, but Roulette missed the mark MAJORLY.

Instead of only loading one bullet in the revolver and pulling the trigger at this lipstick, it would be fully LOADED. In this way, this lipstick would be eradicated from the face of the earth!

Dolls, I would give this 0.5/5 – [0.5 point was allocated due to the lovely colour]

See you in my next post and please free feel to comment on the worst lipstick you have received down below xx
