 Matte Flat Velvet Lipstick

I ordered what I thought looks like a nudeish color and what I actually received is pink. Had the same name but the shade is definitely not the same! Also the lipstick was smashed when I originally opened it.

Absolutely terrible smell and texture.

This is not matte nor is it the color reflected. it's really thin and not what I was expecting. even at this price point, waste of $.

Some shades are really pastel but in a weird way and don't look good on most people. The shade they show you on the cap isn't the same as in the tube. NYX does this as well with their Pin-Up Pout line. I went to Youtube to find videos of people testing every shade on their lips, not just swatches. There were tons of videos, so it was easy to make a decision. The prettiest shades are Love Triangle (purple), Dare to Date (like a bright light pink), Manic (dark purpley red), Giggle (it's like a dark and bright pink-purple), Poet (or maybe it's Poetic, but it's a nice gray shade), and Blue Valentine (blue). I feel these are the prettiest and especially for the price. They last a long time, they aren't drying one bit, and they taste and smell like peppermint to me haha. I think these are more of a cream matte like Urban Decay's, they're nowhere near a true matte like Anastasia Beverly Hill's matte bullets. Nonetheless, it's unfortunate that there is such an extreme divide in the shades, but I promise the good ones are really really amazing, so I highly suggest looking the shades up first!

I thought this would be a matte thick formula lipstick and I was completely wrong. This is not matte at all.. it comes off pink and is glossy. This was the exact opposite of what I wanted. I threw it in the trash.
