Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick in Edition Review & Swatches

Purchased by me (Affiliate links)

Hourglass describes their Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick formula as, "a lustrous, long-lasting and refillable cream lipstick that hydrates and softens lips. The silky, richly pigmented formula defines and shapes the lips as it moisturizes for a plush cushiony effect."

Features:

• Light as air formula immediately hydrates and softens lips for a luxurious feel and subtle shine. 

• Unique blend provides excellent skin-smoothing, moisture-enhancing and restorative properties.

• Super antioxidant Vitamin E conditions and treats lips. 

• Long-lasting and refillable with lipstick cartridges sold separately.

• Free of parabens, phthalates and sulfates.

Edition is described as a soft neutral pink shimmer, and I would say that is an accurate description of the shade. Edition is a sheer light pink,and it neither leans too cool, nor too warm.  It has gorgeous glossy finish kissed by the most gorgeous pink shimmer. While it is quite sheer, a few passes does intensify the effect and deepen the color.  It is the most sheer of the Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipsticks that I have tried, therefore if you prefer opaque lipsticks there are many others to choose from.

The cream formula is very comfortable on the lips and boasts the perfect amount of slip and cushion. I find that the formula is quite hydrating, and my lips are left soft and supple whenever I wear this sparkling little gem. I find that I get between 3-4 hours of wear time from Edition- which is quite good for a more sheer formula.

Edition is such a joy to wear, and it makes for one perfect sheer pink pout!

If you love hybrid lipsticks like Chanel Rouge Coco Shines- then you will adore Edition.
