Formula Overview
$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a "creamy, hydrating matte with a slight sheen" that is "long wearing and non drying." The three shades launched to-date are very pigmented with a lightly creamy, velvety texture that is thicker (but not heavy!) compared to the Insanely Saturated formula but has a similar velvety quality--smooth, glides on but doesn't feel wet or slippery at all.
The colors went on evenly and smoothly and were more flattering on (less prone to emphasizing lip texture or lip lines) than the average matte lipstick. They wear was between five and seven hours well, and they felt neither drying nor hydrating over time. There is no scent or taste to the formula.

Velvet Pompadour is a beautiful shade, especially for the warmer weather. I do still have my tube of MAC Saucy Little Darling, which is quite close, except that one is matte and the other is much glossier/shinier.
The lipstick shades look quite rich and pigmented, but it is the matte finish that is off putting to me – it looks very matte, although it does seem to be lightly hydrating.
My eyes popped out of my head like a cartoon for Velvet Duchess! lol It looks like a red that might actually be wearable for me. They’re both gorgeous!
I have a slight fear of matte finishes but I find myself wanting Velvet Pompadour. I know we tend to think of these shades as being spring-summer, but I find this shade goes well with the cool greens and teals I often wear during the winter..
Velvet Duchess is gorgeous but I feel self-conscious with such deep shades on my lips so it isn’t for me.
I concur. Even in the photos the finish doesn’t look it’s best, definitely not for the cost.
