True Velvet Colour Lipstick – Jazz
The first time I read about Velvet Jazz, I simply couldn’t get it out of my mind. Muted, earthy brick red with inspiration from the 1930s? That is a timeless vibe – one I just can’t resist. The shade promises boldness that would be wearable, and the vintage touch? That is like stepping into a classic movie scene for me.
The Shade and Inspiration
Let’s talk about the color.
I was led to believe that Velvet Jazz was a muted brick red. To me, it is so much more than just color; it’s a mood. Not too bright nor overpowering, it’s perfect for daytime chic or an elegant night out. Lisa Eldridge took inspiration from her collection of vintage lipsticks, and you can tell. It’s the kind of shade that makes you feel like you’re channeling old Hollywood glamour.
Formula and Finish
And here’s what sealed the deal for me: the texture and finish. It’s semi-matte with a slight sheen, so your lips look three-dimensional. This is not one of those flat mattes. It goes on like it’s creamy, velvety, and just glides right on. And the pigmentation? Well, let me just say, one swipe and you’re done. Super, super pigmented, which makes it great for those days when you want to make a statement but don’t really feel like trying.
Wear Time and Comfort
Long-lasting is always a big deal when it comes to choosing lipsticks, and Velvet Jazz doesn’t disappoint.
It boasts as long as 10 hours of wear. From sipping your coffee, chatting away, to having a meal, this lipstick can hold its own. And unlike some really long-lasting formulas that leave your lips parched, this one was actually pretty hydrating. It’s almost like a little treat for your lips while still being practical.
Aesthetic Appeal
Here’s something I didn’t expect to love so much: the actual lipstick bullet has a velvet effect on its surface. Yes, it looks like real velvet! It’s just a tiny detail, but it adds this sense of luxury, so applying gets to be special each time.
Baume Embrace Melting Lip Colour – Meet Cute
Switching gears to something a little lighter, let’s talk about Meet Cute. Just the name alone makes me smile. This light, pink-peach shade is the epitome of everyday elegance. If you’ve ever wanted a lipstick that feels as soft and comforting as your favorite cozy sweater, this is it.
The Shade and Vibe
Meet Cute is like a ray of sunshine in lipstick form. It’s soft, peachy pink brightens up any look without being over-the-top and screaming for attention. The thing that I really love about this shade is its versatility: you can wear it to brunch with friends, to a casual work meeting, or even on a date night when you want it simple yet polished.
Formula and Benefits
The formula of Meet Cute is, like, something else. It’s buttery and balmy but packed with good-for-you ingredients. Shea butter, murumuru butter, and mango kernel butter all team up to soothe and hydrate your lips. Then there’s jojoba oil and pomegranate flower extract, which give some plumping and repair properties.
If your lips tend to feel dry or chapped, especially during colder months, this lipstick will save your life. Unlike many other lipsticks, this one doesn’t just sit on top of the lips but instead nourishes from within. And for shine, it is glass-like, looking fresh and youthful without feeling sticky at all.
Texture and Feel
It’s a dream to apply Meet Cute because the lightweight formula just glides on with ease. It is so comfortable that you can almost forget you’re even wearing lipstick. This is the kind of product that feels as good as it looks, which is quite rare to find.
Skin-Friendly Appeal
I’m also a sucker for natural formulas, and this one doesn’t disappoint. With 87% natural ingredients, Meet Cute is as kind to your lips as it is to the environment. It’s a small detail, but knowing I’m using something clean and nourishing makes the experience even better.

And can we talk about the bonus gift? Each lipstick comes with an ENTEL-Aqua Mask Pack-a hydration mask from Korea. Like, it’s almost as if you are buying a little self-care kit with your lipstick. The mask is perfect, just what your skin needs to give it that boost of moisture that these lipsticks will beautifully encapsulate with their hydrating formulas.
