Laura Mercier released a new lipstick called Velour Extreme Matte Lipstick which retails for $28 each. The lipsticks range in 24 shades from the palest nudes to deepest purples. The lipsticks are a new take on the popular shadow sticks. They’re packaged in a slim twist tube which also features a pop out shaper at the end.

The Velour Extreme Matte Lipsticks deliver full coverage in one application. They’re meant to replace having to line your lips so you use just one lip product. The finish is creamy without leaving your lips dry.

I was sent 2 shades in Ruthless from the nude range and Queen from the deep reds/purple range. In my opinion, Ruthless is a bit on the ashy side and to make it work, I definitely need to add a lip liner or a darker bash in order to give the shade more richness on my lips. I really, really love the Queen shade!
