Lip Suede Matte Lipstick - Minx

The pigment is seriously vivid—one swipe and my lips look fully done, no patchiness. What surprised me most is that it doesn’t suck the moisture out; the peptide blend keeps it feeling cushioned for hours, even after coffee.

I was bracing for that dry, tight feeling I usually get with mattes, but the peptide and vitamin blend actually left my lips feeling plump and smooth all afternoon. The color payoff on Minx is incredibly vivid with just one swipe, and the airy texture makes it easy to forget you're even wearing it.

Minx is the first matte lipstick that doesn't make my lips feel like parchment by lunch—the peptide blend and that hydro-suede texture actually keep them soft. The pigment went on vivid in one swipe and stayed put through coffee and a sandwich without crumbling.
