In 2017, they launched Skin by John Robert Powers. It's minimalist skincare and beauty products provided for us to be more confident in ourselves; from toner to day and night creams, to moisturizing lip colors, to facial wash, and now to their newest velvet matte liquid lip shades.
Packaging: The packaging is completely discreet, and the box is classy. I like that there are cards inside with my name on it, and a short message from them—felt special to be addressed on. The velvet matte comes from a tube with a twist-off cap and with an applicator stick. They indicate as well the ingredients of the mattes, how to use it, and where to find them.
Claims:
- Highly pigmented
- Ultra lightweight
- Ultra long-wearing
- Non-feathering
- Non-bleeding
- No Lead
- No Parabens
- Cruelty-free - Not tested on animals
Ingredients: Isododecane, Nylon-12, Polyglyceryl-2, Triisostearafe, Beeswax, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Sillica Dimethyl Sillylate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Dimethicone, Flavor, Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Butyrospemum Parkii (Shea Butter), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phenoxyethanol, Titanium Dioxide
Note: Titanium Dioxide is famous for its SPF effect in sunscreens and usually used as a cosmetic colorant. The ingredient is listed last, so it has little effect on the lips.
Shades: They only have 6 shades. *from left to write*
💄Revel red, Burgundy Wine, Terra cotta blush, Cinnamon nude, Apricot spice, Fresh tangerine
Color intensity: The velvet matte is highly pigmented. The color is the same on the swatches and when you apply it on the lips.
Longevity: Whole day. 6-7 hours.
Scent: I can’t describe, but I love the smell.
Price: Php549
Thoughts:
- Yes, it's highly pigmented, lightweight and comfortable.
- Ultra long-wearing, yes! I swear! It stays on my lips the whole day. Plus it doesn't fade right away because it leaves a stain on the lips.* Non feathering, yes, but the non-bleeding, no. I'm sure it's because of how I always lick and rub my lips.
- Powdery finished.
- It's true to its claims. It's non-feathering and non-bleeding.
- Overall, I love it because it doesn't dry out my lips. Plus it's cruelty-free too!
It's also available in BeautyMNL, Shopee, Lazada, and Zalora.
** It's gifted to me without expecting in return. I just wanted to review the velvet matte lip shades. Thank you, Skin by John Robert Powers!
