Now, I'll begin by saying this, I'm not a big fan of lip glosses in general. I find that a little too finicky to wear--either they're too sticky or not pigmented enough or I just can't find the right shade for my liking.
When coming to these 5 shades, I did find them to be a little sticky, as glosses general are, but less so than many I've tried. When it comes to pigmentation, I absolutely LOVE Rebel--a gorgeous wine shade that really stands out!
I should also mention the angled wand, shown below, which makes application quite a breeze. So, while I may not switch to glosses any time soon, I will be using a couple of these in combination with a couple of my more drying matte liquid formulas!
Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick
Dump those dry matte lipsticks. Velvet Matte Liquid Lipsticks provide sumptuous lip color in an innovative mousse texture that glides on with ease and coats lips in a rich and conditioning burst of color in a true matte finish. Designed with color perfecting technology, the formula does not flake or dry lips and provides a smooth and flawless finish. Soft, kissable lips and bold colour – it’s everything you want in a matte.
Available in 10 beautiful shades, I have 6 to share with you today! From left to right:
- Addiction
- Dutty Wine
- Ever After
- FBF
- Innocent
- Obsessed

As much as I'm ambivalent about the glosses, I love the Velvet Mattes in equal measure! If you've ever struggled with matte liquid lipsticks with too dry of a formula, I highly recommend giving these a try instead. The texture of these on the lips is just velvety smooth, even when completely dry and as such, they make for a really comfortable wear! As for lasting power, I have worn a couple through several outings where dinner was on the cards and they stood up pretty well--you may have to re-apply after a particularly greasy meal but other than that, they stay on quite nicely.
I'll let the picture below speak for itself when it comes to pigmentation. I'll just say this--I was quite impressed! Favorites, you ask? Of course, I love Addiction and Dutty Wine but I'm also really feeling Innocent and Obsessed!

I'm a fan of glosses and also a fan of PUR. I do have one of their glosses, I think, that came with a face kit and I like it a lot. I need to check these out. The shades are gorgeous!
