My Review
I love the Phyto-Rouge range from Sisley Paris and this soft matte version is a gorgeous addition.
The Formula
This is a hydrating and long-wearing formula and each shade is intensely pigmented. The lipstick has a lightweight feel and it feels super comfortable on the lips. Lots of matte formulas tend to be a touch drying, but I have to say, this is potentially one of the most comfortable mattes I’ve worn. You get that modern, diffused velvet finish without any dryness.
The Packaging
As you’d expect from Sisley, the packaging is really luxurious. The lipstick comes in a stunning gold and zebra-print case which is super so chic, and it has a lovely magnetic closure, which always makes me happy. It’s one of those lipsticks you’ll be proud to pull out of your handbag. Plus, like many of Sisley’s lipsticks, Phyto-Rouge Velvet is refillable.
The Shades
Sisley Paris Phyto-Rouge Velvet Lipstick comes in 12 shades. I love the three I have, and the full range includes some gorgeous nudes, bright pinks, oranges and reds. There’s something for everyone here. As a nude lover, shade 10 Beige Nude is my favourite.
Performance
I have been wearing 10 Beige Nude and it stays in place really well. It does fade slightly after eating, but it wears down evenly, leaving a soft, stained effect. There’s no flaking or dryness and my lips stay feeling really comfortable.
If you prefer a shiny lip look, check out my review of Sisley Phyto-Rouge Shine Refillable Lipstick, they are excellent.
