Lisa Eldridge Velvet Petal & Velvet Cinnabar True Velvet Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Velvet Petal
Lisa Eldridge Velvet Petal True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a soft matte finish. It delivered opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without catching on imperfections or settling noticeably into my deeper lip lines (just in the close-up could I see the smallest amount). It had a velvety consistency that glided readily across my lips but never felt heavy. It stayed on well for five hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

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 Cinnabar
Lisa Eldridge Velvet Cinnabar True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark copper with moderate, warm undertones–balanced between red and orange–paired with a soft matte finish. The consistency was lightweight, smooth, and velvety with good glide during application, but it adhered well with even, opaque coverage that lasted well for five hours. The formula felt lightly moisturizing while worn.

Oh my gosh, I’ve been excited to see what you thought of Petal and it looks great! Definitely on the wishlist 🙂
Cinnabar is EVERYTHING for this time of year! It makes me think of all the beautiful, magical autumn leaves back home!
I wish that after your surgery, they would airlift you to NJ. Hang in there, you’ll do it.
From your lips to God’s ears! I wish that I was heading back there ASAP. Love it from April thru November. 🌷🌦️🌄⛈️🌇🍁🍂🌧️
I love both of these. My two LE lippies are some of my favorites. I think my daughter would love Velvet Cinnabar but she does have the MAC Marrakesh-mesh. I can’t remember whether she has any of the LE lipsticks. I don’t know but this would make a nice gift for her. Definitely will watch for a restock.
I like both actually but I don’t have anything like Cinnabar in my stash.
Velvet Cinnabar definitely caught my attention, but a perfect dupe for it is my favourite Maybelline’s Spice for Me.
Wow! I was sold on these lipsticks just from your pictures in the newsletter email, so I’m happy they got a good review because I was ready to buy them before the page even loaded!
Christine, they all look so beautiful on you that I think I may need them all… *runs to add to Xmas wish list*
I bought both and can’t get them to work for me. Petal looks exactly like beauty on m. More blue then pink. It’s buttery though an wears well. Cinnabar is a beautiful color. But is thinner and doesn’t last 2 hours on me. I have all her other colors and have never had issues with the formula. Anyone else finding the recent lipsticks different? Maybe I July got an odd cinnabar. The liners are awesome. I hoping Christine will review.
Sorry, I did not purchase the liners!
