Laura Mercier’s new “Mocha Myth” crème smooth lip color is a beautiful coffee colored lipstick. When I first spotted “Mocha Myth” by Laura Mercier I was expecting the lipstick to have a creamy, deep brown application. This was not the case. The crème smooth lip color acted as a hybrid between a heavy crème lipstick and sheer lip color. I love that!

The application was smooth and nourishing; leaving my lips moisturized. The color was long lasting and offered a natural looking, soft mocha hue on my lips. This is the perfect neutral lipstick for adding dimension to one’s face! “Mocha Myth” by Laura Mercier turned out to be perfect for adding life to my face with a black blouse, or dark top. It also blends well with any color or printed fabric. I have found myself reaching for Laura Mercier’s “Mocha Myth” everyday no matter what I am wearing! It has found a permanent place in my purse!

Since Laura Mercier’s crème smooth lip color in “Mocha Myth” is such a nice lipstick to wear, I am looking forward to adding the other new lip color from Laura Mercier in the collection; “Plumberry!”

Laura Mercier’s “Mocha Myth” crème smooth lip color is priced at $26 and can be found online here.

Dolce & Gabbana Ultra classic cream lipstick review

Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Ultra” classic cream lipstick

Dolce & Gabbana’s new “Ultra” color in their classic cream lipstick collection is dark and mysterious. This deep, dark red lipstick is on-trend for the winter months and balances out the season’s heavy prints, textures and necklines. The dark hue from Dolce & Gabbana’s “Ultra” classic cream lipstick is also a great way to add color to the season’s hot neutral palette which includes shades of white, cream, pale beige and light tans.

Dolce & Gabbana’s “Ultra” classic cream lipstick is a heavy cream lipstick which works well when paired with a lip-liner (I would use Dolce & Gabbana’s “Ultra“ lip-liner to match!) to prevent running. The color saturation is deep and long-lasting. I also found Dolce & Gabbana’s “Ultra” classic cream lipstick to be moisturizing. Love that!

Dolce & Gabbana’s “Ultra” classic cream lipstick is priced at $37 and can be found online here.
