Diego Dalla Palma is a new kid on the makeup block in the UK, despite being a well established brand with a great professional reputation in Italy. Their prices are in line with high end department store ranges such as MAC, with a lipstick costing £14. Strangely, the brand has launched initially into Tesco, as part of their new beauty hall offering, which promises a more department store like experience inside Tesco stores. It's also available as part of Tesco Direct, meaning that you can order the products in to your local store (and hide them amongst the carrots on the way home).
Anyway, on to the Classic Lipstick. The texture is pretty classic - it's a heavy, almost waxy lipstick which carries full opacity pigment. It stays put on the lips for quite a while, but like many heavy textured lipsticks, it does dry the lips out a little during the wear time. This colour is a pretty pink, which will appeal to many - although for me, it's a little frostier than I'd usually wear. The whitish flash in the colour looks awful alongside shiny or shimmery eyeshadows and blushes, but worn with mattes, I can just about take it. I'd be curious to try one of the more cream finish shades - I tried on a beautiful ruby red at the launch party for the brand, which worked perfectly with the heavy opaque formula.
Diego Dalla Palma Classic lipsticks are £14, and are available via Tesco Direct, or in their beauty hall, if you're fortunate enough to have one nearby.
