I got the 6:00 in the Chanel and love the color. I don't wear a lot of red but this one is perfect for a sophisticated look. But mine was getting crusty during the first hour of wear. So I was wondering what the heck was wrong with my lips! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. As for the new CT pinks, I think you might have liked 90s Pink better. Merit and Mario? Really? Sephora sale coming up. Dumbo will be mine. Thanks for the review.💚
I just saw those Tom Ford lipsticks at Nordstrom. The lovely sales person pulled them out of a drawer for me and then I LMAO. I could not believe how teeny tiny they were! No no no…..I don’t care how nice the formula is when I feel like I’m being conned
Then you should see Serge Lutens. His lipsticks are so tiny and cost 74 euros. I understand why nobody never talk about his products 😂
Hahaha ok so I wasn't the only one 😅
They all looked the same colour on her lips!! An thin lipsticks..yeah, less product for top price!
I totally get this. But, as someone who has only ever finished a balm type of color, I really don't want a lot of product in a lipstick. That being said, that doesn't mean I want to pay the prices that are charged. I would prefer to get less product and pay less, even if that comes at a higher cost per gram. There is a line though.
I agree with everything you said and thank you for the video ❤
Oh, Sofia, I am so pleased for your comments about the WA lipsticks. I loved the lipstick colors that I purchased and then …. the lips dried down, enhancing my lip lines, and moved on to the dreaded grittiness. I appreciate your focus on item’s ingredients. I have an allergy to Bismuth Oxychloride which pops up in so many products. At least two of the lipsticks that you reviewed today have it in them. I tried the Merit lipsticks and thought that they were nice. The issue that I had with them is the packaging. I wish that they had a spring way to extract the bullet portion. I am 71 and have both arthritis and neuropathy in my hands and it was a struggle.
Oh that is good to know I didn't realize that some people are allergic to that ingredient
I adore the Merit lipsticks - they are so comfortable and not drying on the skin. Even some of my favorite lipsticks like Lisa Eldridge Velvets require me to be careful on how often I wear them as they dry my lips out. I'm really hoping they come out with more purple, brown and orange shades as I need this formula in every color.
For me Kissing lipsticks are the biggest discovery of the year. Usually almost every lipstick would significantly dry out my lips (even formulas like Chanel's Rouge Coco Bloom) but this lipstick doesn't. Also color lasts longer than some mat lipsticks I own and my lips look gorgeous. I got color 90's pink and it is very unique, I will definitely buy more colors from this range, I am really impressed.
Ok can we just take a minute and admire your mani 🤩🤩 thanks for the rankings, so helpful.
Thanks!!
I totally agree with you. I returned the Westman. It felt like a light, slick drugstore lipstick that settles to dry finish with no richness. Merit is the Matte of my dreams. The makeup by Mario satin is one of my faves too, feels so lux.
Thank you for sharing
Hi Sofia,
I have Chanel 7:00. Love the colour and the packaging is stunning. 😍 When I choose a colour I always get what is wearable for me. I don’t look good with dark/strong colours, so I will never buy something like that only because is different and I don’t have in my collection.
Tom Ford new lipsticks sound like a robbery. 🤣
Most of the people who reviewed the WA lipsticks have the same opinion like you with one exception: AliAndreea. She put them in a video with best of February and March.
The brand recommends to exfoliate the lips and apply a lip balm before applying the lipstick. I don’t want 3 steps when I use a lipstick. Also I don’t have fillers in my lips like AliAndreea and I know a dry lipstick will make my lips look wrinkly.
The other brands you mentioned are not for me and I am happy with my cute low ranking Chanel lipstick. 😁
Thanks for sharing!🙂
I’m with you. Love the Chanels. The colors are amazing and they look great applied sheerly too. As far as feel/dryness/settling into lip lines goes, that’s a very YMMV thing imo.
I purchased 7 out of the 8 Chanel Nuit Blanche lipsticks and I LOVE them. I actually got a backup of the 6:00 and the 2:00 ! The shades in this LE collection are special imo and I have a ton of luxury lipsticks. This formula is so comfortable and light on the lips and is my favorite along with the Prada. $50 is reasonable in the realm of luxury lipsticks.
yeah I guess from my perspective I think it's funny that Chanel launched an evening collection that was meant to offer nighttime glamour colors and everyone just bought the same light pink shade that they always sell. So I don't see the point of spending the $50 unless someone already likes that formula (which I don't love already) and wants to try something less neutral
I do like the shades a lot but it seems like most customers lost the point of the collection and just bought the same pink shade as always. In addition to the price (which I don't think is reasonable but we are now accustomed to it) one of the reasons why I usually rank these lipsticks lower is because when you compare them to others, like Dior, they aren't that different so they become less of a "must have".
@@SofiaSeesBeauty I hear you on that. I will admit to buying 7, lol, but also bought others outside of my typical wheelhouse. They're pretty complex colors imo, especially when you wear them sheerly and really see more of the undertones.
I have luckily been in Paris when they celebrate Nuit Blanche and Paris is open all night and there's dancing in the street etc. There was definitely a different vibe at every hour so I HAD to buy one. I got 5 am. Fabulous video btw.
Love that!
Thank you for helping us to save money. You picked all the ones that have indeed been over-hyped, and you were not swayed by brand name and social media attention. Greatly appreciate your content.
I am so glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. I was going to get the westman atelier ! You saved me a lot with this video!!❤❤
The WA lippies are so gritty! I thought I was the only person who wasn’t crazy about them.
I’ve only started watching this video and scrolling the comments. I was going to get a few of these and glad I didn’t. I hate gritty lipsticks
@@tallisinwonderland4724@ tallisinwonderland4724 I have watched every single review on the new WA lipsticks, and some content creators love them, and some hate them. I really want to get one, especially because Merit doesn't ship to Europe, but I'm worried it will be a dud. Also, I'm not sure what color to get. I dread orange undertones, and the one I have my eye on (Je Reve) seems to have them. We need more reviews and more swatches!
I feel like it’s not worth the risk. Especially when there’s so many other good ones to try
I bought the new Chanel lipsticks, 2:00 and 3:00 and like them a lot. I find that they last a really long time. I also love the packaging.
Thank you for a great review Sofia, I was going to pick up the WA lipsticks. Regarding the Chanel lipsticks , I picked up three shades and love all three shades a lot !
Thanks for sharing!!
I LOVE your reviews. Honest, straight to the point and so thorough. You saved me some money on some of these, thank you.
I’ve been steady wearing the Chanel lip duos… I’m definitely going to be trying the make up by Mario! I love that they have so many colors!❤️
Wow, your nails are a work of art!!!
Aw thanks!! I went all out for my bday nails haha
Woot woot! Was waiting for this video from you!! Thank you!!
yay!
I find charlotte tibury lipsticks great for everyday, they have always been my go-to satin…. THEN I tried the Mario ones and wow they are so so good and not overpriced! Love them!
Thank you so much for shedding light on the incredients in a very understandable way. Hydrating formula is one of my top priorities when looking for a lipstick, so I'll be keeping an eye on those incredients from now on! I have noticed that some reviewers automatically assume a formula is hydrating if it has slip, but that is not always the case.
I rely on what it feels like on my lips over time - lived experience.
Clearly we all have different needs depending on age, hormonal profile, body chemistry, medication etc
@@lesleyc2704 I would very much agree with on your point on how it feels over time, and after a lipstick has worn out: if my lips feel hydrated, I'm happy, but if they feel drier than before after the inial slip wears off, then it's not for me. I would also add climate (cold & dry in my case) to the list of factors that impact our needs.
@@lindak2807yes, agreed, climate is a real determinant. Mine is warm and humid.
I have the Chanel Nuit Blanche in 0700 as I wanted a shade that I don’t have. I agree that they settle on the lips but for some odd reason I like how it feels on my desert dry lips 😂
I bought the same one and I like it. I put a gloss over it so I don’t get the drying. I also always use a lip primer first
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
@@g.970 what lip primer would you recommend?
@@anneannie1296 I use one by MAC Cosmetics
I noticed in one of your previous videos when you were wearing the WA shade in Pip, it was a bit patchy and started to look dry on your lips as the video progressed. Just watching it change on your lips during the course of your video made me change my mind on getting the new lipsticks from WA. It's sad, but I'm not up for paying $50 for a patchy, gritty lipstick. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on these. I have been loving the Merit Matte lipsticks so much. I have 5 shades, and they're in constant rotation.
This was a great review. Thank you for your thoroughness. Now you have me intrigued by the Mario ones...
I love them.
This was the video I needed! You are right about the CT lipsticks! I tried the Candy Chic in store, and they DID not last long on my lips at all. The color was ok, I’m like you, like them brighter, lol. I too, need a grippy kind of lipstick as well. Years ago when I the CT lipsticks came out, I thought they were amazing, and lasted long on me, maybe the formula has been changed, idk. But, now they feel kinda slippy. Eh.
OMG! Was in the mood for a best of lipstick video, and there you were- thank you so much 😊
Yay!
Thank you for telling us your honest opinion
Always!
The Westman ones were AWFUL, I was shocked. Really didn't expect to hate it as much as I did, I tend to love almost everything they put out. The Merit ones on the other hand were super surprising, especially since they were the least expensive of the bunch. Super comfortable to wear though I wish their bases weren't all so deep.
I really like the Charlotte Tilbury kissing formula & i think it lasts pretty long,its a really nice formula.
Great video. I bought the WA in MInx and LOVE it. I didn’t think it was gritty at all. Maybe it’s due to the color?
I got Je Reve and no grit either.
Yeah I dunno what to say, all three of mine were a very unpleasant texture. If it's a mistake, then I would say they really need to focus on quality control because for $50 ever single one should be perfect
@@SofiaSeesBeauty Absolutely!
I got Je Reve and Pique and I didn’t get any grit. I love them
@@confessuloveme Mine stinks to high heaven so there’s that.
CT’s K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula doesn’t work on me and it’s the exact same experience I have with MAC’s Cremesheen formula. They both apply unevenly on my lips and will attach and make evident any minor imperfection. Curiously, I’ve seen that these are the two formulas that most people rave about on both brands. I really don’t understand! I don’t have this issue with any other lipstick formula and my lips aren’t even typically dry or anything. No other lipstick formula does this on my lips 🤷🏻♀️ I wish they worked though, because I love the shade ranges. The only way these work is by priming my lips beforehand with the MAC prep and prime lipstick, but it’s an extra step that I don’t care for. I just use the prep and prime so that I can keep using the K.I.S.S.I.N.G and Cremesheen lipsticks that I already own, because I don’t like throwing out makeup and will try to make products that I’ve already bought work for me.
Yeah I have noticed that too. A lot of people like that formula but I don't think it's anything special
I too, had the same experience with these 2 lipsticks as well. Never buying these lipsticks again.
@@janicecroissiert9116 So interesting! Glad to know I’m not the only one! ✌🏼
So glad I came across this video today ! Two of these were in my cart for Sephora sale !! Thank you !!!
I’m so excited you showed some of the shades on my wishlist! I am interested in Vermillion, Court and Uptown Girl. Working on my list for the Sephora sale! Fun video ❤
Yay!
I love your ranking videos so much! Oh my gosh I couldn’t agree more, the Merit hands down are the best lipstick that I have tried this year. I haven’t tried the Westman yet but you’re not the only one, it’s gotten bad reviews, so I’m saving my money. And the Makeup by Mario I never picked up thinking it’s just another satin lipstick but nowwww omg I must try them. 😍😍
Hi Sofia, I got Chanel lipstick because of their color but when came it was a little different than promotion, still like it. Tom ford lipstick colors are beautiful and I have thin lips and do not need to paint, but the amount is that much little that I scare to use it up fast😊 first look is so beautiful. The uptown color is beautiful on you and I keep it in my list. Again I need to ask for price regulation on cusmetics, every two three months every item has 5 $ price increase 🤔
Thank you for your review!
Thank you for the lipstick reviews!
You're welcome!
Hi Sophia so you roasted Chanel 😳🤪😡😝🤣 i love it. I got 3 so far and getting one more. I haven’t used velvet matte in recent years, but my absolute favorite, of all times is first light . It was released I think 2016 or 17. That orange red is my color! I have back ups lol but it’s truly matte , nothing like these new lipsticks. I got 00, 2, 7 and getting 6 . 2 was my initial choice cause it reminded me of first light. Well not exactly, I might mix them together, cause 2am is more hydrating, for sure. 00 I chose cause it’s. still has some warm undertones. 7 I don’t really have something like that , well Prada similar, but this one has some luminosity and Prada one is more dry and kind of one color, maybe more pigmented. 6 is the color that I don’t really have either, and wanted something like that, but usually rosewood has more brown, and that’s too cool tone. This one looks interesting, and I think will go well with my red mix dress( some parts warm scarlet red, and other is more cooler red, ox blood) . And of course m I am sucker for their fairytale themes 🤪😂😝Have a blessed day🙏❤️
I liked the Chanel - I want to get more … I got two… but sometimes I get bored if I have too many of the same formula - but I’m tempted to get the bright pink color - forget what number that one is - it’s not the 7:00 pale one but the fuchsia one
@@vwiccy I am bias lol i am Chanel kind of girl. I love everything from Chanel, well not skincare. Its 3am you are talking about 😉❤️
@@giedrebey5444 thank you ☺️ - yes that one seems very pretty - I’m new to Chanel - one eyeshadow quad, eyeliner and these lipsticks - I really like what I have so far
Thank you for sharing your review!
Yeah the pink one looks pretty!
I loved the Chanel lipsticks - they’re so moisturizing and easy to use for me - I think that light pink shade would certainly settle for me too… milky colors always do, so,I’m glad I didn’t get that bc I had FOMO when it sold out - but the lipsticks are not super matte but look creamy, not shiny - they’re a light formula, but pigmented, so I can sheer or lay on how I like -they don’t bleed at all in lines but feel so smooth and blur my lip line - I got 2:00 which is a beautiful strawberry and 4:00 which looks like a red with slight brown (it’s ok, but not as unique a color) 4;00 reads like a daytime, easy going red for me that feels as neutral as a red could be - it’s interesting bc they are opaque and dark colors, but something about the formula doesn’t seem too dark or vampy (maybe the smoothness and buildibility of the color makes this happen - pigments but slightly translucent ) - so they can be good daytime, everyday colors, on me - I like bold colors, and these are bold, yet not so much at the same time
They are nice, but I think people are forgetting that they aren't different from what Chanel usually sells in many other colors. I think the allure of the collection is the classy evening shades... but then everyone bought the one average shade lol :)
@@SofiaSeesBeauty lol, yep, I was surprised the light pink shade sold out - it seemed average, but then I saw it was gone and got FOMO - so thanks for taking one for the team 🤓 - “someone” on TH-cam said these lipsticks were slightly different, less matte and dry, than the original/standard - but I don’t know bc these are my first from Chanel - I was swayed by the packaging, which is very pretty, but a tiny bit not as luxury feeling for $50 (not weighted, a little plastic-y) - I’m very happy with my 2:00; I think that shade is very nice the other one is ok - my fav brand is LE, but I always want to try something new just in case - and LE is a bit thicker in consistency (imo) so times I don’t feel like it
Thanks for reviewing the expensive WA too… it looked dry to me - I can tell I wouldn’t like it from your review … and I would have bought it too bc it’s so alluring - I know WA packaging is beautiful and expensive - but that’s not useful if the product is uncomfortable
Now I have to try your top 2! When my no buy is over, of course. 😂
I got a Westman Atelier Christmas gift set from a friend for Christmas, and 2 of the 3 products were already smelling rancid (although it was a current, freshly produced set). Customer service basically didn’t care because it wasn’t a purchase I had made directly from their website myself. First and definitely last experience with this brand for me.
I do love the Chanel Rouge Allure formula, on another note.
Oh no I am so sorry to hear that!
Luv the Merit ; picked up “Sunday”. Great color & quality. An easy pass on the Tom Ford, WA & CT. Gonna try the Makeup by M. Hoping for new Lisa Eldridge . Find her lipsticks really superior than most these days.
I just got that color for my mom!
Super excited to watch your video on a Sunday afternoon. ♥️
I don’t like the Westman lip compacts as they’re very dry and yes gritty and hard to blend for me, so unsurprised the lipstick was a bust.
I am so glad!
Thank you Sofia!!!! I'm so glad you like the Makeup by Mario lipsticks. I love them so so much. I was drawn to it initially because of the New York connections. He is Albanian from te Bronx and that speaks to me. I have 4 shades and better longevity than I expected.
Yes Mario seems like such a sweet person and I like that he draws from his humble beginnings growing up with his mom in NYC
Thank you for that super honest and thorough review, what a great video! I love that you touch upon ingredients, I find it very interesting and helpful. Now I am a bit sceptical what to expect. I ordered the Chanel 07:00 from their website. Sheerness/soft colour is not a problem for me, I actually prefer it on my lip shape and face. But settleing into fine lines would be a pet peeve, especially for that price and the European no-return-if-you-opened-the-box policy. I'll probably give in to my curiosity, but dang it that would be a bummer!
I love the CT Kissing formula lippies. They are buildable, long lasting, and pigmented. They feel so soft on the lips and feel moisturizing. Too bad you didn't like them as much. And I have Dior and YSL lippies but these compare equally to them in my opinion. For their price, I feel the CT are an excellent choice. Tom Ford is way too expensive for what you get. Ridiculous. I bought one of the Mario lipsticks in Dumbo. While the color is nice, I didn't find it to feel moisturizing or long lasting on me. I had a sticky feel when I press my lips together. Plus the packaging is not nearly as luxurious feeling as say the Dior or YSL or CT. just my opinion. Thanks for your ranking.
Charlotte Tillbury ..Boring .IMO….Chanel beautiful unique .. a night out.. nuit blanc in Paris ..I am older and for me they blur the lines on my lips and leave a stain.. I bought 4.. I must say I love pink/red/ magenta ..fuchsia..however..I think each person needs to try whatever they are interested in maybe swatch in boutique if you can .. Tom Ford too expensive..very beautiful packaging..Christian Dior ❤❤❤❤Meritt ❤but wear off ..1990❤❤❤..Mario I have not tried ..thank you for your review..it is great to have a lot of perspectives ❤❤❤❤❤
Are you ranking the new YSL lip oil sticks?
They just came out a day ago so I haven't even tried those
Great Review - with all the information you need paired with your lovely presentation/ GOLD❣️✨
🤗🤗
Looking at ingredient lists can be quite tricky to interpret since what what you see in the list is not necessarily a reflection of quantity from highest to lowest. That is only true for anything present up to the 1% mark...below that it can be randomly anywhere in the ingredient list. Usually the first few ingredients truly are in that order but after that...noone can say, it is part of the trademarks of formulas.
I honestly wish they would stop sticking HA and Niacinimade in literally everything under the sun. It’s a trendy claim.
@@christiecruzxo2841me too -- HA can be drying and too much for me - I guess it must be sucking out the moisture of my skin instead of getting it from the environment- and I live in a humid environment! - but it’s the number one issue for me - especially lips ACK! - I don’t know what niaciminide is doing for lips either … I just want moisturizers and occlusives and pretty colors
I look at the ingredients to see if there is anything to justify the price, to better understand the "why" behind the way that the formula feels, and to see if there are major differences between lipsticks. As we have seen here, even some lipsticks with good ingredients failed from a formulation perspective.
@@SofiaSeesBeauty There is such as thing is too much of a good thing 😂, or you know a good thing that doesn't play well with the other kids.
On a different note, I actually liked the Chanel Nuit Blanche lipstick that I got...00:00, one of the reds. There can be a lot of variation between shades even within the same line. I usually find colours with more white pigment to be more problematic.
I needed this review because I was so drooling over these new shiny releases, glad I didn't blind buy them!
Glad I could help!
I love the nuit Blanche Chanel lipsticks, I got 4 of them 00:00, 02:00, 06:00 & 07:00. Love them.
Do they settle into your lip lines as well? I am waiting for my order (only no. 07:00) and I am a bit sceptical now. I don't want to pay 50 EUR if it's not good (strict no-return-if-you-opened-the-box policy in my country).
Thank you for this very helpful video, Sofia! It would be great if you can do a recap in every quarter of all the new lipsticks you've tried. For me, lipsticks are the most difficult makeup to chose after the complexion related ones.
P.S. I am hesitant in getting the Chanel ones just because of the packaging, this kind of classy silent packaging really works wonders on me. Unfortunately, I don't like the velvet formula lipsticks at all... So idk.
Sofia - did you try the hourglass soft matte lipstick? I’m curious to know if they are worth it
No I think I only tried the satin ones
So happy I watched this. I’m a Westman Atelier fan but I thought this might be one of their misses.
Oh forgot to mention, I didn't get the Merit because I have one from last year, that I barely wore! lol But they do look creamy... and I'll pass on the Makeup by Mario
I purchased the WA lipsticks on released day and got Je Reve + Pique. I wore them each for a day. The color lasted for hours until I ate food so I had to touch up. Never got any gritty texture, it was always very smooth. They don’t feel like matte lipsticks either which I refused to wear. I never found them dryness on my lips or after removal. My only complaint was the $50 cost. However they are refillable and I got the only 2 colors I was interested in so I know I’ll spend less next time.
Loved this so much, and went back and watched your velvet ranking again, both videos are so helpful! Thank you!!! Still hoping Prada comes to Sephora Canada 😬 And super curious to try those Merit matte lipsticks. For Sephora sale recs,…would you consider doing a “forgotten faves” video? And maybe also your top recs or what to skip on releases since last sale?
Yes I usually do a recommendations video as we approach the sale to talk about the new stuff that is worth getting 😊
I appreciate your reviews very much. You save me money.
Thank you for your honesty! *removed WA lipstick from cart (but replaced w Dior 🙈)
Uptown Girl is a great shade on you. Beautiful.
As someone with neutral to cool undertones, I love the Mario lipstick in Broadway!
Are you going to be trying the new Mac lipsticks? Maciximal ones ❤
Probably not. I don't get many requests to review Mac
@@SofiaSeesBeauty thanks for letting me know 🩷☺️
I love your lipstick recommendations! Especially when it comes to pigment. I hate it when vibrant shades have wimpy pigment- like if I’m going for a bold color I want it to be bold
yeah same!
Looooving the Merit matte lipstick. It’s so good!
indeed!
TF slim lip Color shine is pass for me, definitely😅
Say it’s not so…. 😢…. I was looking forward to trying the WA lipsticks
Thanks Sofia!
you're welcome!
Some of these lipsticks are so interesting I had my eye on Chanel lipsticks but saving for the Charlotte Tilbury red carpet pink or Candy chic 🍬💕 and a couple new YSL love shine lipsticks and also I just bought like 6 YSL of the older shiny balms before they discontinued them 💄 so there is where all my dollas 💸 are going too 😅😂☺️
Thank you for this honest ranking. I agree with you about the TF lipsticks - for the money, I'd rather buy the Prada ones - I have 3 of them. I like Mario's colors better than the Merit choices. They're more extensive. I am planning to buy South shore and nolita.
Thank goodness I'm not alone in my feelings of the WA lipstick! I bought Lacker and it totally emphasizes lip lines and is patchy, drying😢 So sad really considering these lipsticks are 68 dollars in Canada!😬 Maybe it's the light shade, but wowzers what a letdown. Thanks so much for your great review!❤
nice to hear Mario’s formula is great! i’m one of the few that doesn’t love the merit satin formula but maybe i’ll give the matte one a try. rn i’m fully stocked on lippies tho 😝
I don’t like the original Merit formula either as it felt drying on my lips. I’m reluctant to try the Matte.
I love the Charlotte Tilbury KISSING formula
Oh wow I love the westmin atilia lipstick I got 3
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Sofia ❤️
I ran to the store whan these Chanel’s lipsticks came out. I love the black and white packaging. I tried the colour 7:00. But whan I put it on my lips I hated it. So dry. During the day my lips dried out. So ended up saving my money and did not get it. 😅.
Yeah everyone just ran to that light shade. I don't get the hype
This was great. I appreciated the breakdown of each lipstick. I tried 2 of the Mario’s and I really like them. I had actually decided to skip the TF lol.
Glad it was helpful!
İ agree with the Chanel lipsticks sadly: funky colours but the quality on the lips is not the same. Applying the pink one 7:00, my lips looked flakey skinned. 😮
Have you tried the Carolina Herrera lipsticks? They are not new, but I just recently knew about them and would love to know your opinion (they look gorgeous, with all the accessories and customization... so tempting)
I have never tried them! One of the reasons is that they aren't really sold in many places
I mentioned the WA in my latest new makeup releases and they’re so beautiful ❤ I’ve got my eye on the bright coral shade but this has me wanting to skip ❤
I think I’m the only one that doesn’t really look at formulas of lipsticks, I think they are all great, except long wear lipsticks can be drying, I base my decision on colour. But I’m definitely going to check out the colours for Merit and Makeup by Mario
100% agree with you on the WA lipsticks. Such a huge fail for me at that price point.
Charlotte Tilbury's 90s Pink is beautiful.
Okay I have the WA lipstick in that LFG - admittedly I have not used it as much as I should but there was something about it when I first tried it that I couldn't put my finger on it. Now I need to pull it out to see if it's the grittiness that I am getting. I didn't get any new lippies from Chanel, and I skipped the Charlotte Tilbury - glad I skipped the Tom Ford also from your review!!
Great review! I am also bummed about Westman Atelier. Theirs is the only one formulated without silicones, and I had high hopes for it. Have you heard of the brand Fara Homidi? I like her compacts, but it can be inconvenient to apply in public. I might try Merit since I need my next lipstick in bullet form.
I haven't heard of that brand, thank you for the rec
The next red lipstick I want to try is Sisley’s Phyto Rouge Milani Red….cost is $70, so yikes😂
Haha yes they are so expensive!
Your videos are fantastic! BTW, I’m considering the LELO Stylo Lipstick. It looks really cool. Has anyone had a chance to try it?
The WA package to me, is too big. I don’t know maybe cuz I have smaller hands. I’m so glad you did this. I’m looking to up my lipstick game ❤
would you love to see you try the charlotte icon baby lipstick and lipliner see the color
Thanks Sofia for your through review. Yeah Tom Ford one....is so so expensive. No way i would want to spend that kind of money on a lipstick and i already have many from other brands. I do change up my lipstick but i do not need the Tom Ford one that you mentioned in this video. Thanks for honest review which i really appreciate 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Your nails are fab.
Thanks!!
The Charlotte Tilbury lipstick formula actually come2 think if it reminds me alot if Tom Fords lipstick formula, at a much better price point as well.
loved this. Definitely interested in the Mario lippies and the Merit. I would love an IG post to give us the new ranking for soft mattes as you just finished your update and now you have another. 😂 These releases!
The tom ford remind me of the hourglass that are discontinued. I love those. Basically all of my faves are discontinued.
Oh no! Which Hourglass lippies have been discontinued now?! 😩
Oh no! Which Hourglass lippies have been discontinued now?! 😩
@@alnsubuga the stilos Confession lips. I LOVE those. At least they seem to be discontinued. Maybe I am wrong?
@@melbygrace Oh dear! I’ll double check. I’m in the UK and I’m sure I saw them still on sale, but that was around Christmas. Thanks for flagging!
Sofia, your hair looks amazing. What do you use to style it?
I just use a curling wand, nothing special
@@SofiaSeesBeauty can you tell me which curling wand please?
the tom ford one is such a money grab
Yeah :( not a very good value for sure
I looove the Merit matte lipsticks so so pretty but buyer be ware they market them with sunflower oil which is very inflammatory. Vitamin E is also emerging as an inflammatory oil so if you have inflammation be careful ❤️
Most lipsticks these days have some form of vitamin E. It's naturally occurring in the skin so I would not be concerned about applying it in such a small amount
I will have to disagree with you on this one. I have the WA LFG and Chanel's 3:00 and love them. Did not encounter the grittiness you are talking about. In fact, I did not find the WA matte at all and Chanel's velvet version of this one is so much better than their previous ones. I have tried the Merit and Mario and found them just OK, if a bit too drugstore looking. Tom Ford has become a bit of a joke ever since it was bought by Estee Lauder.
I also bought the Chanel one and I like it. I bought 5 and 7.
I am not saying that the Chanel lipsticks are bad, I just find them overall unimpressive and overpriced for what you get. I think a lot of people are mesmerized by the packaging and prestige of the brand
I love the Chanel lipsticks. Even if they fade away, the lips keep a subtle shimmer, incredible comfortable. But why!!! Limited???
Omg why am I shopping right now!! ❤
I try new lipstick always go back to Nars lipstick/ Jane
Wow! The WA lipsticks I really liked. You’re not the only reviewer who hasn’t really liked them either. I didn’t experience ANY grit at all. I will agree over time they do dry but I think due to sueded finish. I also agree that I wish color would last a little longer. I’m going to take it that these others must be really good because I’ve been happy with them. Colors je veve & minx, which both were my speed as I don’t really do reds but occasionally a deeper wine and brown colors.
I’m really curious about the Merit and Make up by Mario. I’ll need to check out color range. Particularly interested in Merit since is that sueded version to compare with WA. The price point is so much better so I do really like that. The first 3 brands, you want to say where are we going here, especially TF?
I wonder if maybe they are having some issues with the consistency of the lipsticks
@@SofiaSeesBeauty Anything is possible. They do get drying but I guess I expected that a little bit since being a matte. The expense of these you should expect good wear and comfort too. I’m looking forward to checking out the merit mattes. I’ll have to see if local Sephora has them so I can see the colors.
You HAVE TO HAVE TO check out the Estée Lauder Sabyasachi luxe collection Please!
Thanks for the rec!
Not sure why your WAs were gritty. I am wondering if they went off? I can’t stand the crayon smell of the one I got but it’s perfectly smooth, no grit at all.
Not sure! All three of them are the same texture
