The matte shades, I should say, are not a harsh matte by any means. The brand calls them matte silk – feather light on the lips with a good pigment level and plenty of emollients but I always veer towards anything more balmy so that’s just a personal preference. In the line up from left to right: 203 Espresso Lips, 111 Auburn Red, 110 Cinnamon Red, 112 Tiramisu Nude, 204 Almond Lips, 109 Rosewood Nude.
With lipsticks, I always think if there is a chance to make it more special, you should take it. I love the flower stamping that curls around the bullet in a nod to the brand’s lingerie roots which does indeed give the lipsticks a more special feel than your average. The casings are refillable so once you have found your shade, you can just order refills going forward. I’ve had La Perla lipsticks knocking about in my drawer since at least the beginning of the year and they still look good as new.
In the swatch bottom to top: 203 Espresso Lips (balm), 111 Auburn Red, 110 Cinnamon Red, 112 Tiramisu Nude, 204 Almond Lips (balm), and 109 Rosewood Nude. The balms are £45 and the mattes are £47 HERE. I was expecting to see a different price for refills but I can’t find it anywhere. I’ll try and catch up with the PR to see where we are with that.
