Peripera is back at it again with a great lipstick formula! This formula is, no doubt, "airier" than the original "Ink the Velvet" line. As you can see in the swatches, the color comes off a bit lighter, and it is very easy to do the gradient lip effect with this product. However, like the original "Ink the Velvet"s, the formula will smooth over any fine lines or dead skin on your lips to create a very beautiful, flawless ("velvet") finish. Although the color is lighter, the pigmentation is still there. Also, it doesn't feel like I have anything on my lips! The swatches attached are grouped into the "MLBB" colors and the red colors from the original "Ink the Velvet" line.
