Laura Mercier Raspberry Sorbet Satin Lip Color

Laura Mercier Raspberry Sorbet Satin Lip Color ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle blue undertones. The finish is supposed to be semi-matte; there’s a healthy sheen to the color once applied, but it’s not glossy and looks creamy from afar. Chanel Belgravia is cooler-toned, lighter. Bobbi Brown Mod Pink is lighter, pinker. Dolce & Gabbana Splendid is brighter, less berry. Lancome Posh Pink is redder, more intense.

This particular formula is supposed to be long-wearing, non-drying, highly pigmented, and non-feathering.The color is definitely opaque, and you need very little product to do so; one glide across the lips yields excellent color coverage. It has a creamy consistency that doesn’t feel too heavy or have too much slip. When I tested this shade for wear, it wore well for around six hours, and my lips didn’t feel dry or chapped after such long-wear either, which was a nice surprise.  I don’t typically have major issues with lipsticks feathering on me, but just to affirm, Raspberry Sorbet did not feather on me.

Where to Buy: Nordstrom, $22

Laura Mercier's lipsticks are really underrated--I don't remember trying one that didn't wow me! The texture is so creamy without being heavy or slippery, and the color coverage is exactly as described by the brand.

Christine what bllush are you wearing!?

I got this lipstick today and i found it like The Body Shop • Pink Ginger (#14) • Lipstickit is a more traditional opaque formula.creamy texture as well, and very well pigmented. So save money :) .

My LORD that looks super creamy! The word I would use to describe it is "delicious"-looking!

Wow ! Amazing color and finish!

May have to pick this one up, I love it

It looks amazing! I´ve never try this brand but I heard so many good things about it, so thanks!

Woo! So pretty! I only have two lipsticks--one is red, the other is a sheer beige with shimmer. I want to add more to my collection and this would be perfect! Not too dramatic so it can be for everyday use! :D

Pretty color, and great coverage, I'll have to check this out!

I love Laura Mercier lipsticks and will put this on my list to swatch during my next trip to Sephora! Such a beautiful, clear berry!

This color is so beautiful! I feel like all LM products except their foundation/TM products are really underrated. I never see other LM products on blogs or boards!

This might be a good replacement for me after I finish my Gem of Roses tube! Thanks for the swatch!

omg that is your color for summer!!! it's a beautiful color and you can tell it's a great texture! love!

i love this colour, not too bright

I dunno how but everything looks so damn good on you.. pink or red lipstick looks kinda funny on me, though..

I love this colour! You look lovely in this pic Christine! What's on your eyes?

I completely agree with you that Laura Mercier is so underrated! I'm definitely biased when it comes to this brand. :) Too bad I can't use this. Boo! That color looks yummy though, in every sense of the word!

This looks amazing on you! Do you think this will work for NC42 skin tone?

Definitely need this in my life!!!! Should not have seen this the day before I get paid :)

That is so pretty! I need to stop overlooking Laura Mercier!

That colour is SO flattering on your complexion. The formula looks delightfully creamy too.

love it! looks so good on you.

Such a pretty colour :). I love the shade and the finish of this one, it's gorgeous!

Very beautiful. Might try this colour!

Amazing!! Going to have to check this out for sure! I'm also very tempted by the new Neon pink Bobbi Brown lipstick, but waiting for your review (hopefully) before I buy!

Gorgeous! I will have to pick this one up when I'm at Sephora (which will be in the next 2 weeks or so), assuming they have it there.

The color is absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful true rasberry shade, love it!!!

Its really pretty, Christine! Ill have to add it to my wishlist :D

This is pretty. It reminds me of a darker Revlon Pink Velvet.

That color looks beautiful on you!
