Swatch & Review: Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in Rose Matter and Gemini

I'll be doing a brief overview on two shades of Velour Liquid Lipsticks by Jeffree Star Cosmetics. I've been so captivated by the swatches of Gemini and Rose Matter that I just had to get my hands on it.

These retail at $18 for .19 oz, so there is more product than Colourpop's .11 oz ultra matte lips, but the price is much higher.

Rose Matter is a "soft neutral coral" which is more of a rosy pink on me.

The liquid lipsticks have a doe-foot applicator which I find to be a little bit different than most. The applicator has a deeper indentation that curves to your lips. The curve holds more product so you won't need to dip back into the tube for more during application.

However, there is a strong root beer scent to these liquid lipsticks, which I'm not a huge fan of. It's not terrible, just not what I'm expecting from a cosmetic product. I'm used to my florals and vanillas.

Gemini is a "terra-cotta warm-toned nude" and it's my favorite of the two. It's such a perfect neutral lip with a rosy undertone. I'm a gemini myself, so this shade is so fitting for me.

I love that this is a great everyday lip color that doesn't stand out too much, but still brings color to my face.

The formula for the Velour Liquid Lipsticks is divine. Dare I say it, it might be better than Jouer's lip crèmes. It's liquid but it dries down fast and matte, but doesn't leave my lips feeling dry or sticky. It's like I don't have anything on my lips at all. Jouer is my go-to liquid lipstick brand because I'm loyal, but the formula is often thicker and more mousse-like in texture than the usual liquid lipsticks. 

If you're looking for a true liquid lipstick that has a wide selection of gorgeous shades and a great formula, Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks are great to try out.

Though honestly, I probably won't be buying more from this brand in the future. I was only interested in these two shades anyway. Nevertheless, everything from the formula to the packaging is wonderful. I'm just not a die-hard fan as many are, and I can surely find more affordable options with similar shades from Colourpop.
