Deeper lip colours get me PUMPED for the cooler weather. The Mary Kay City Modern Collection boasts elegant, effortless colour options and the Mary Kay City Modern Collection Velvet Lip Cremes ($18 each, available August 16th) are just that.
Naturally Chic (deep pink-brown nude)
THIS is the nude lipstick of my dreams.
Oh So Currant (dark vampy red)
Berry Stylish (deep purple berry)
True to the name "Velvet Lip Creme" the lipsticks feel extremely hydrating when applied. The moisturize gives a slightly satin/glossy look to the lips. Yes, all three colours are beautiful but the darker two are difficult to get right due to the slippy nature of the lipstick. When I mush my lips together, the lipstick slides around and then appears patchy. Naturally Chic doesn't have this issue because it's a MLBB (my lips but better) and very similar to my natural lip colour. All three colours last about 3, maybe 4 hours, which is normal for glossier finish lipsticks though the darker shades appear patchy as they wear away.
Overall, love the colours (especially the nude!) but I likely won't reach for Oh So Currant or Berry Stylish because I find darker shades are better suited for matte/drier textured formulations.
