Laura Mercier Sweet Guava Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm ($25.00 for 0.12oz.) is a bold, bright, medium coral-red with warm undertones and fine gold and pink micro-shimmer. It had very nearly full color coverage, while the lipstick had a creamy, balm-like feel that glided on effortlessly (almost “melting” against the warmth of the lips) that left a glossier finish than other shades. It was a bit more emollient as a result, so it can slide around more, though I did not personally experience feathering. This shade lasted for four hours on me, and it was moisturizing over time.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Laura Mercier Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm ($25.00 for 0.12 oz.) is supposed to have the “comfort of a lip balm, the coverage of a lipstick, and the shine of a gloss.” The formula is really quite pigmented, creamy, and hydrating; their downfall is longevity was typically less than similar-hued shades with a less emollient consistency (not entirely unexpected). There was a slight, sweet scent to them but no discernible taste. It’s a really comfortable formula to wear, and if you don’t mind reapplying or transfer, well worth a look!

I think this formula will be very moisturizing in the winter, a treat for the lips!
I agree!
Wow! Look at that intense color! When I heard the word “balm” I was expecting something subtler.
I’m so glad these lived up to their claims!
Both are very pretty! They remind me of the W.Lab lippies I got not too long ago.
Nice!
These are gorgeous, so nice to see a colored balm that actually packs a punch!
Sweet Guava is exquisite!!! It just looks so juicy and summer-y! And now I think I’ve hit a quandary; this, or grab up UD Sheer Slowburn… hmmmmm. Or are they different enough to own both, I wonder?
If too close, I’ll get Sheer Anarchy instead, I think. Long since used up a sample I had of regular Anarchy, which I did like, but like many fuschias, made me have a greenish cast to my face.
They are both quite pretty. I really Sweet Guava for the shimmer factor. I’ve slightly cooler than Cherry on Top so possibly a winner. I’ve been looking for juicy summer shade so I’ll put it on the short list.
I can’t type today 🙁
These lipsticks look really moisturising to the lips and the colours are so vibrant and bright. Love them.
Already commented on this in ir last review; liked cinful a lot. Wish brands start making such beautiful texture lipsticks; but not in reds… Pls .. No more reds. Have had my fill of them; and in the end; when u actually wear it to a social function or a night out; one red looks just like another, be it be warm or cool toned.
I love Laura Mercier products in general. These lipsticks are no exception. Beautiful colors and finishes.
I really like both of these, nice with something hydrating and still pigmented. I will check them out at t
a LM counter for sure.
Yay! Let me know your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to check ’em out!
