Lip Velvety

Lip Velvets by Laura Mercier are my new favorite lipstick...wait lipgloss. It's actually both, perfectly balancing the feel of a gloss with the look of a lipstick. It comes in a tube like lipgloss would but it comes out with thick bold color of a matte lipstick. Lip Velvets come in five semi-matte shades.

I wore Scarlet Passion lip velvet over the weekend at work. I got lots of compliments and sold two in a 5 hour period! :) It's a super pigmented straight blue-violet classic red. Goes on super easily around the edges of the mouth. You know how those super reds can leave a super mess clean up around the lips. For me, this is such an easy application, the smaller applicator is easier to draw on the lips with when using those bold, deep painted on colors.


So, naturally when talking about drawing on a perfect set of pigmented lips. I would recommend the Flawless Fix Pencil! It's made for this exact purpose. Perfecting color on the lips. You can also use it for small touch ups on the face if you're in a crunch and that's all you have with you.


The lip velvets are amazing, with this lip on I ate lunch and drank coffee all day and it left a nice matte stain in place of what came off on my coffee cup. For long lasting color I would suggest them!!
