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.

Sorcery and Enchantment are really beautiful shades, probably my two favorites from her new ones. My only trepidation when it comes to buying the Velvet lipsticks has to do with so many people having them break on them. If I ever get one, I would only roll it up enough to get it on my lips.
Please don’t let that deter you. Lisa Eldridge has great customer service. I had two of her Velvets break on me and I did not twist up the lipsticks all the way. I contacted her customer service team and they sent out replacements free of charge right away.
I have broken three! One might be carelessness, but three! I roll up just enough to be able to apply and see in the mirror what I do.
I’m generally not clumsy, so I don’t know. I don’t recall if it happened in the summer, if so maybe they were too warm.
I didn’t know it had happened to many, I’ve only heard it from one other.
You should try one, they are quite lovely to wear.
Gorgeous, vibrant lipsticks and I did like Velvet Sorcery because it is fairly similar to one of my all time favourites Maybelline’s Mauve for Me – but I think Sorcery is better quality.
Love Velvet Enchantment. Will likely go back and get Velvet Sorcery. I’ve seen people say they have had issues with their True Velvet lipsticks break but I guess I’ve been lucky. The ones I already have are still in excellent condition. Then again, I don’t tend to roll up my lipsticks by any brand too much when using so I don’t often experience breakage except for a few pesky Pat McGrath ones that seemed to be poorly seated to begin with.
