Sephora Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Color, And A Man's First Trip To Sephora!

Hi Guys! 

So guess what!? After nearly two years together I was FINALLY able to get my boyfriend to go in Sephora with me last week! When he first saw the store in the doorway he decided to head to Foot Locker to browse a bit cause I would "probably be a while" (HAHA!), but then he came back to find me after about 20 minutes. Funny part was I had only made it through about 1/3 of the store and still had some perusing to do (I mean it is Sephora we're talking about)! He was such a good sport though and followed me around the store like a little puppy dog for another 20-30 minutes! Annnnd he didn't even complain once! That's not to say that I didn't get an eye roll here or there when I got excited about something (beauty products make me giddy, I can't help it haha), but he totally let me do my thing and be in my happy place! It was a very big step for us LOL!

While we were there I was soooo excited to see that they finally had the Sephora Collection Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Color in Fig back in stock! I had swatched it in the store a few weeks ago and I fell in love, but it was sold out (why does that always happen to me?!). Needless to say I was definitely giddy at this point! I showed him the color and he really liked it too... even though I had to explain what a fig was because he was thinking Fig Newton, (I kid you not) and didn't know that is was an actual fruit that was purplish in color (ugh boys) LOL! After a little more perusing, I decided to put him out of his misery and finally checkout! ;)

I've been wearing this A LOT this past week and I must say, I am seriously IN LOVE and super impressed by this product! It is quickly climbing the charts and becoming one of my favorites!

 Not only is the color totally perfect for this time of year and the upcoming Fall months, but it is so creamy and (dare I say) luscious on the lips! It feels so velvety and soft, but not thick or heavy at all! It has a bit of a shine to it when it is first applied, but turns pretty matte after a few minutes. I also really like the applicator! It is a little bit different from your typical doe foot applicator in that it is a little longer and fuller. I find that it actually helps to apply the product to my lips better because I can almost line my lips with it and be more precise before applying all over. I also love that it does last a very long time throughout a typical day for me (just as the name states, which is always a good thing). The only times I felt that I needed to really touch up or reapply were after eating a full meal when I was out to dinner. The best part, in my honest opinion, is that this product doesn't ever become chalky or cakey! The more I experiment with matte lip products the more I find that that is sometimes an issue. Not with this one though! This one really does stay almost creamy the entire time and doesn't dry out on my lips! HUGE plus in my book!
Overall, I really can't say enough about how great this lip product and how impressed I am by it! I definitely plan to pick up a few more shades! If you are looking to try the matte lip trend, I could not recommend this to you more! You will not be disappointed, I 100% promise!
Are there any matte lip products that you have tried recently? I would love to hear about your favorites!
