Whether it’s being sized incorrectly in their stores, or made to feel bad about my body by their advertising, I avoid Vicky and her secrets whenever possible. So when I heard the lingerie giant had expanded its beauty line to include matte liquid lipsticks that were actually good, I was… well, after my last Victoria’s Secret experience, I was prepared to be unimpressed. But readers, I was wrong. Because these lipsticks are FANTASTIC. UPDATE: VS now carries 12 Velvet Matte shades! The only thing I didn’t like was the smell; all the shades in this line have a really intense chemical-y candy smell, somewhere between fake vanilla and fake fruit punch. It dissipates when the color is n your lips, but it’s off-putting when you open the tube. Fair warning. (Brittany ended up taking this color, btw, and it looks AMAZING on her. Just an FYI for my olive-skinned babes looking for a ’90s brown that doesn’t make them look sick.) One thing I did notice about these lipsticks is that they never dry down to an absolute matte; they have a slightly satin finish. This is fine for me, but if you’re someone who NEEDS a flat finish, you’ll have to add some translucent powder overtop. It’s the dream. That’s unheard of in a dark liquid lipstick. Best of all, these lipsticks are accessible. $14 isn’t dirt cheap, but it is on par with a lot of the better drugstore liquid lipsticks. And if you have a VS store that carries beauty products near you, you can get these lipsticks quickly and easily. Want more?
