My Review

I love the Phyto-Rouge range from Sisley Paris and this soft matte version is a gorgeous addition.

The Formula

This is a hydrating and long-wearing formula and each shade is intensely pigmented. The lipstick has a lightweight feel and it feels super comfortable on the lips. Lots of matte formulas tend to be a touch drying, but I have to say, this is potentially one of the most comfortable mattes I’ve worn. You get that modern, diffused velvet finish without any dryness.

The Packaging

As you’d expect from Sisley, the packaging is really luxurious. The lipstick comes in a stunning gold and zebra-print case which is super so chic, and it has a lovely magnetic closure, which always makes me happy. It’s one of those lipsticks you’ll be proud to pull out of your handbag. Plus, like many of Sisley’s lipsticks, Phyto-Rouge Velvet is refillable.

The Shades

Sisley Paris Phyto-Rouge Velvet Lipstick comes in 12 shades. I love the three I have, and the full range includes some gorgeous nudes, bright pinks, oranges and reds. There’s something for everyone here. As a nude lover, shade 10 Beige Nude is my favourite.

Performance

I have been wearing 10 Beige Nude and it stays in place really well. It does fade slightly after eating, but it wears down evenly, leaving a soft, stained effect. There’s no flaking or dryness and my lips stay feeling really comfortable.

If you prefer a shiny lip look, check out my review of Sisley Phyto-Rouge Shine Refillable Lipstick, they are excellent.

MERIT Beauty Signature Lip Liner Review & Swatches

I do love a launch from MERIT and lip liners are a bit of a new obsession for me, so I was excited to try the MERIT Beauty Signature Lip Liner. Here’s everything you need to know with photos and swatches.

My Review

As you would expect from MERIT, these liner are really good. I love the packaging. I love that there’s a twist up mechanism PLUS a sharpener, and I love how easy they are to use.

Application and Formula

MERIT are all about the minimalist approach and this liner definitely embodies that. As the name would suggest, the pigmentation is sheer, so it’s pretty hard to go wrong with it. The rounded tip is a departure from traditional lip liners, and it means you can’t create any harsh line. It’s all about a more forgiving application process.​

The liner has a lovely glidey texture. Colour pay off is sheer and so you can build it up to create the look you want. I recommend that you ensure your lips are clean of any product that’s too emollient, or you may struggle to build up any colour.

The formula feels nice and hydrating and you can use it over the whole lip area if you wish and it stays feeling really comfortable.

Shade Range

MERIT offers eight neutral shades, catering to a variety of skin tones and preferences. The three shades I have – Beverly Hills, Bespoke and Coupe – are all really easy to wear, making it pretty hard to pick a favourite.

If you’re after a product that enhances your lips without the fuss, this might just become your new go-to. And of course they pair beautifully with the MERIT lip gloss. For more info on those, read MERIT Beauty Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil UK Review & Swatches.
