I Love You So Mattes!

*insert cheese*

Pardon the pun but really, these new Maybelline Color Sensational Velvet Matte Cream-to-Matte Lip Color lippies are super fun to wear and layer over and over!

Boasting of 9 vivacious shades in winsome and convenient lip tubes complete with lipstick applicator, Velvet Matte punches absolute matte, vivid colors with its anti-shine powder and velvety smooth finish thanks to its ultra-light Velvet Gel formula. Combined with specially formulated nourishing paste, it prevents lips from looking flat, dry, and chalky all day long.

I like this line for various reasons:

• MAT6 and MAT12 are soooo pretty against the Filipina morena skintone!
• Packaging’s the bomb — no need to second guess what’s in the tube. Very chic like MAC lip glosses.
• Fantastic color selection — they’re fool proof and almost true to skin swatch. Very buttery, light, and comfortable to wear.
• Inexpensive at Php 349 (Php 299 intro price) — collecting them all won’t break the bank!

The only con I have is the wear time. To be fair to the product, I speak a lot at work and drink from the mug/glass throughout the day. Given my activities, I usually have to reapply every 2-3 hours. Not the most convenient if you run from meeting to meeting, still like yours truly.
