Westman Atelier launched their first lipstick method referred to as the Lip Suede Matte Lipstick ($50 every) and I couldn’t have been extra excited to attempt them. They’re presently accessible at Westman Atelier for an unique early launch. In keeping with their Instagram they are going to be launching at different retailers like Sephora and Nordstrom beginning the nineteenth of March.
The Lip Suede Matte Lipsticks are cased in a twist up shiny tube with a magnetic closure. The packaging is gorgeous however the magnetic function makes these troublesome to retailer subsequent to one another (similar as the difficulty I’ve with the Child Cheeks). Primarily based on a ballot I did most of you retailer these alternating (one proper aspect up, one the other way up, and so on.) in the event you personal a couple of shade.
I feel the packaging is gorgeous (magnet concern apart) however I acquired dozens of messages from you in regards to the packaging being cumbersome and unflattering. I like the distinctive look however can see what number of discover it too large. The ratio of product to packaging does appear extreme however I additionally see the way it matches in with the model aesthetic.
The Lip Suede Matte Lipstick method is a light-weight cushiony matte which feels extra like a satin. I like that it’s a mushy matte. They’re easy and glide on flawlessly. On me they’re one swipe wonders though I give them a pair swipes backwards and forwards to cowl the whole lip evenly.
Components is a basic lipstick – I don’t discover it hydrating however I don’t discover them drying both. There’s a really mushy scent to them, virtually vanilla-like and virtually crayon-like however I’ve to odor them actually carefully to detect the scent. On my lips I don’t discover something.
Lasting energy is okay. They keep put so long as I don’t contact my lips to something however they’re not switch proof. They do begin to look somewhat dry on the lips after a number of hours because of the matte texture.
Under swatches of the 5 shades I hauled:
- Lacker is a light-weight muted peachy shade
- Pique is a taupe rose
- Minx is a vibrant heat pink
- Je Reve is a fairly mauve rose
- Rue is a cool chestnut brown
Appears to be like additionally sporting:
General I’ve combined emotions. I like the colours aside from Rue which appears to be like like dying on me. Components is absolutely good for a matte however I nonetheless desire Pat McGrath, Lisa Eldridge or Charlotte Tilbury for his or her matte lipstick formulation by far. At $50 a pop I don’t know that I might say they’re definitely worth the splurge. It appears extremely steep for what you get. That being mentioned it looks like the costs of every thing have gone as much as insane ranges. I do like these much more than the Hourglass mattes I reviewed a number of weeks in the past however I don’t suppose I’d name these vital.
For those who’re interested in these and like matte lipsticks I might say perhaps wait till the Sephora financial savings occasion which can deliver the worth level down in the event you’re a Magnificence Insider.
Out there now at Westman Atelier. Launching at Nordstrom, Sephora and so on. beginning mid March.
