Viva La Diva Lipstick Reviews

I first saw this lipstick on a girlfriend and it looked amazing. I was so surprised when she said it was Chi Chi as it looked like a MAC lipstick! I went out and bought it for myself - 'exhibitionist' (red) turned out to be an amazing lipstick-the matte finish is excellent and it wears well. For the price I was pretty impressed and have since bought another pink matte shade and orange shade. Only thing I don't 'love, love' is the smell (talcum powder like) but I kept getting complements and it wears well so that trumped it!

After reading the favourable reviews of this lippie on bh, I ventured out and purchased two shades - Bombshell and Hollywood Heiress. Bombshell is a strong-but-not-bold pink, and Hollywood Heiress is a creamy coral-pink shade. It's hard to pick a favourite but I do tend to wear Hollywood Heiress a little more simply because it is a warmer shade and it brightens my look.

I have tried other long-wear lipsticks and though I do love matte shades, I tend to have dry lips which can mean I'm left with a flaky pink lip after the majority of the colour wears off. I find Chi Chi is far more hydrating and reduces the dreaded flakiness by a lot.

The packaging is luxe and chic with a hot pink printed design on both the lid and the outer box. The base of the tube is clear, allowing me to see which colour I've picked up before making any mistakes.

The formula holds well and even without a liner I don't have any issues with smudging the colour around my mouth. I do have to reapply to the centre of my lips after eating or drinking , but aside from this I would say I get about 4 hours of wear, making this little beauty excellent value for money.

With such standout names, wearing this lipstick does give me a little confidence boost - you can't help but be a little outgoing when you are pretending to be a bombshell :)

For those considering a purchase, it is definitely worth picking up a shade or twelve. I know I will certainly be purchasing a few more.

i have used this lipstick for quite some time now. i am unsure what the colour i use is called but its like a bright fluro pinky red.

the colour is amazing and easy to use. u can put it on really bright or not as much for a more subtle look.its easy to mix with other colours too. all though it does come off on ur coffee cups etc it is very hydrating and feels good on ur lips.

they have so many awsome different colours. i would definatly reccomend it especially for the younger crowd

I love the print of the lipstick case! It feels very sultry and I feel weirdly empowered! With a pink metallic sheen as one of the colours, it's definitely the prettiest lipstick I own! The cap clicks shut tightly so the lipstick is also secure. There is a scent but it's so light I can't detect it on my lips.

The pigmentation is amazing! 100% fully matte with no sparkles,glitter and shimmer
attached! Vibrant red coral colour that warms my olive complexion completely. "You Had Me At Hello" is such an outstanding seductive shade that will get stares for sure! I can definitely tone down or up the intensity and blending is not an issue!

When applied, I didn't find my lips dried out even though it's a matte
lipstick! It didn't sink into my fine lines nor did it bleed/travel around the edges of my mouth at the end of the day. My pout looked incredibly fuller and alluring. Also, my teeth looked shades whiter!  

Unfortunately it does transfer very easily on cups etc so reapplying is a must! This lipstick lasted a good 5 hours before fading into a soft rose stain.  

For better results, use your favourite lip balm as a moisturising base and then colour your lips in a neutral shade so the lipstick can stick better and will last longer!  

Love the gorgeous hot pink on black patterned packaging on both the carton as well as the tube itself. Love the little curved bit at the bottom where you can see the shade of lipstick easily if you have a couple in the same brand.
The shade I have is the "You had me at hello" in a Matte finish. The shade is a bright tangerine orange and I just love it! I have never tried a bright shade of orange before and would never have if not for the trial and am pretty surprised at how good it looks on me! Has a pleasant light fragrance and no taste which I love.
It goes on smoothly, quite creamy and is very highly pigmented. My lips felt well hydrated and moist even though it was a matte finish. You could use a lip balm 10 mins before if you have very dry lips. Love the matte finish which suits the bright shade of lip colour.
Have never tried anything from Chi Chi before and am very impressed with the overall quality and look of the product.
It does last for about 4-5 hours without needing a touch up. But had to do a touch up after eating/drinking. Still pretty good considering how bright the colour is.

I have Valley Doll from this range and love it. The colour is long lasting and at first is moisturising to your lips but after a while it can be quite drying because it is a matte lipstick.
They come in very cute, elegant tubes and smell good for a lipstick too.
