AAAH! Finally. A matte lipstick that doesn’t leave my lips feeling like I just finished the Iron Man Triathlon. I’ve been looking for an affordable deep bordeaux shade with a matte finish to wear with my button-up plaid shirts and vintage plastic choker necklaces from the ’90s (you know I’m kidding about the necklaces, right?!), and Topshop’s $10 Lip Bullet in Wine Gum is filling my heart-shaped box to the brim.
Three things: one, I like this product’s name. Wine Gum. That’s just neat to me. 🙂
Second, I like the way Wine Gum feels and works. The moisturizing, super pigmented formula (unscented and unflavored) starts off with a hint of shine, then dries down to a flat matte before eventually transitioning into a matte stain.
Third, I like the price. It’s only $10.
Oh, and I also think the crayon packaging is hella cute.
If you aren’t able to find Wine Gum online, check Topshop or Nordstrom, if you’re so inclined. Topshop also has these Lip Bullets in other colors, too, like fun oranges and reds, and I have spotted those shades available online at nordstrom.com for $10.

Omg this is beautiful! The formula sounds perfect too. Definitely adding this to my Nordies cart!
Karen says
Awesome, I hope you love it!
Alison M says
I’ve wanted to try these for awhile now. So glad they are comfortable to wear.
Karen says
Yes! Definitely recommended. I wish they came in more shades…I’d have to collect them all. 🙂
Allison C says
I love the look of it, and Wine Gum is super cute and super pretty…but I don’t need another wine lippie. Orange, however, is another story!
Karen says
Go for the orange shade, girl!

KAREN. I’m visiting the UK right now and I was in Topshop yesterday, looking at the Lip Bullets, a few hours before this post went up! And Wine Gum was one of the colors I was considering! Maybe it’s fate…
(By the way, a “wine gum” is a British fruit-flavored gummy candy. I love that phrase too.)
Karen says
I could actually use some wine-flavored gum, haha!
I hope you’re having fun on your trip! Did you end up getting any of the Lip Bullets?
Marina(Makeup4all) says
Exactly the kind of shade that I’d love 🙂
Karen says
You’d rock this so hard, Marina!
Kiss & Make-up says
Definitely not my color, but I bet it looks fuh-fuh-fab on you 🙂
Karen says
Thanks! I wore it yesterday… so fun!
Myla says
I love the color! It reminds me of Burberry’s Bright Poppy.
Kim says
This might be a tad dark for me but you almost have me pulling my flannel shirts out of the closet. 🙂

This color is so beautiful, I want to eat it! Reminds me of a L’Oreal color I used to wear in college.
Ankita@corallista says
The formula sounds really good – just what you want from a matte lipstick! And I like the name too 😛
Sylirael says
So… as I saw this post, I was actually eating Wine Gums. No. Joke. (I like the purple ones best, too!)
This looks really nice! Love the vampy colour – I really need to go and see if the TopShop here has the makeup line!
