AD This is a paid for ad in partnership Meroda Cosmetics

Over the years lipstick has been a key staple in my makeup routine as I truly believe it has the power to bring any makeup look together to create something more polished and elegant. 

With a makeup bag full of lipstick I still can’t get enough of them, so when Meroda Cosmetics reached out and asked if I wanted to try their collection of Velvet Dream Lipstick I jumped at the chance. 

Meroda Cosmetic Velvet Dream Lipsticks come in four classic shades - Perfect Nude, Pink Peony, Luscious Red and Grape Galore. Boasting a cruelty-free & vegan formula and contains several nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E to keep your lips looking smooth and comfortable throughout the day.

Meroda Cosmetics Velvet Dream Lipsticks

Pink Peony - Best described as a soft pink blush shade this has instantly become my go-to daytime lipstick of choice. Not only do I find this shade compliments my fair skin-tone but the pigmented yet soft diffused colour really brightens the complexion. I know I will be reaching for this lipstick a lot! 

Luscious Red - If you want to make a statement then this is the shade for you. This deep yet bold red is another complex booster that I have found to brighten my overall complexion. With buildable coverage, I feel this is a wonderful versatile red - when dabbed onto the lips it can easily become a fun daytime look yet when paired with the matching Meroda Cosmetics Luscious Red Signature Lip Pencil and applied directly from the bullet you have a much more dramatic evening look that has great staying power. 

Grape Galore - Described by Meroda as a bold purple, Grape Galore is easily my favourite shade for the upcoming colder months. While this is another statement shade the coverage again can be adjusted to suit the occasion. With its warm undertones, I feel this will also compliment all skin tones and give a healthy glow against the skin. 

Perfect Nude - You truly can’t go wrong with a nude lipstick, can you? This neutral-toned nude is another everyday favourite for me now as whatever my makeup look it never fails to look anything other than perfect. The velvet matte formula gives this nude a soft natural finish that I think most people will appreciate. 

Lipstick Application 

As the name suggests these gorgeous lipsticks offer a velvety matte finish which on application instantly impressed me as while they are highly pigmented they simply glide over the lips making application beyond effortless. 

Comfortability-wise this range feels almost feather-like on the lips thanks to the addition of some nourishing ingredients and while offering a soft matte finish which never feels drying I’m very pleased to report. 

As for longevity, when paired with Meroda Cosmetics Signature Lip Pencil a defined long-lasting bleed-free lip look is created, ideal if you are going to an event or want a truly polished look. I must say the wear time for these lipsticks has thoroughly impressed me! 

Overall Thoughts 

As mentioned I am quite the lipstick addict, which does mean I can be quite critical with an arsenal of lipsticks to compare against. However, I truly have only positive things to say about this range - I find the minimal shade range precise and uncomplicated (each shade has its time and place which I love!). The formulation has been thoughtfully crafted to provide a nourishing, soft feel containing ginger extract that also manages to last the day. As for the chic packaging, I can’t get enough of the satisfying magnetic close of the lipsticks and the concealed mini sharpener to the end of each lip pencil - ingenious! 

Overall I couldn’t be more in love with this range of lipsticks. Have you tried out the Meroda Cosmetics Velvet Dream Lipsticks yet?
