Katya, I only own one Laura Mercier lipstick in a Satin formula when on a voyage to test products from brands I hadn't tried before. As I have such small lips, mattes unfortunately make my lips appear even smaller. I do own some lipsticks such as Prada's Soft Mattes, yet they haven't got that flat look to them like many others do. I also have exceptionally dry lips and mattes make them worse. We have leapt ahead with technology in the Beauty Industry that has made it possible for matte lipsticks to feel moisturising, but it's that appearance of looking flat that is my downfall. Sure, I can wear a gloss or balm over them but it defeats the purpose of a lipstick being matte. You're so lucky that these suit you. Every one of them looked great except for that very pale one that you weren't impressed with and the deep brown shade. I like you wearing deep shades but they need to have colour and this brown didn't do anything to lift your appearance. I did like the one that you had an unfortunate accident with, yet then again, they all looked terrific. I just don't know why the vast amount of lip-liners are all pencils and not retractable. I much prefer the latter, yet they aren't as available as I'd like them to be. It doesn't make sense to have brands with retractable eye-liners, yet the lip-liners are wooden pencils.🤷🏼♀️I feel that causes so much waste of the product each time they're sharpened. I bought Dior's Universal Liner that has that wax-like finish to prevent those very soft and shiny lipsticks from moving away from the lips. This wasn't a cheap liner, yet it was gone before I knew it. I don't find much difference between the brands and have bought some great Nyx retractable liners that work just as well as high-end brands. I'm very impressed by the fact that these are refillable lipsticks and hope that more brands follow suit. Love you more than chocolate, Kris.🍫🇦🇺💖👩🏼🎨
