Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Creme Lipstick in Ballet

I’m back with more Hourglass love this week. I just can’t help it. Today I adooooore Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Creme Lipstick in Ballet ($35, Sephora), a vibrant pink. This cream finish lipstick is a bit on the dry side, but that also means that it lasts longer than the usual cream lipstick. It gives the lips a plump appearance by imparting a slight sheen on the lips. It is fully opaque in one pass. The lipstick is lightly scented and I find it quite pleasant.

Ballet’s light vibrant pink colour doesn’t lean too blue, so those with a golden undertone like myself can still wear her beautifully. If you’re unsure, pair with a brightening pink blush like I did and you. will. love.

For those who worry about harmful ingredients in their cosmetics, Hourglass formulates the lipstick to contain no parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, or phthalates. If you fall in love with this lipstick, lipstick refill cartridges are available to buy as well. Look good and feel good, am I right?

I, of course, had to quickly put my hair up in a sock bun for this occasion. A lipstick named Ballet does this to me.

Now if you’d excuse, I need to find my tutu.
