Sephora Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Color in "Orchid Luster": Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the products featured were provided for review.

Earlier this year, Sephora released the matte Cream Lip Stains, which received tons of love from matte lip lovers. Now for Summer 2015, the brand is adding a new line called the Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Colors ($20 CAD). Available in twelve shades, these creamy, lightweight lip colors feature an opaque coverage with a subtle sheen. To see a swatch of the shade "Orchid Luster", click.......

Packaging:
The Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Color comes in a simple lip gloss tube, nothing fancy. The applicator is a flat doe-foot; it works fairly well at applying the color, but I would definitely use a lip brush to achieve clean lines.

Formulation:
Creamy, rich, and incredibly pigmented, the Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Colors are liquid lipsticks with a lightweight and non-sticky texture. "Orchid Luster" is a bright cool-tone pink. The lip color doesn't set so it has a subtle sheen. The formula is moisturizing but not very long-wearing as the color easily transfers. With a shade like "Orchid Luster", though, the color will leave behind a nice stain even when the product wears off.

Overall:

I quite enjoyed these. The formulation reminds me of the Hourglass liquid lipsticks, except that these feature a much better texture. The pigmentation is phenomenal, the only downside is that these are not transfer-proof. If you are looking for something that's super matte and kiss-proof, definitely check out the Cream Lip Stains!

Availability:

Sephora Collection is available online and in stores at Sephora.
