💋ABH LIP VELVETS💋

Okay, seriously, if you haven't tried the ABH Lip Velvets, you're missing out! I recently got my hands on a couple of shades that instantly became staples in my makeup bag: Chestnut and Rosy Mauve. I've been a huge fan of Anastasia Beverly Hills for a while, and these lip products definitely live up to the hype. First off, let's talk about the formula of these ABH Lip Velvets. They're not your typical drying liquid lipstick, which is a HUGE plus for me. They have this incredibly soft, whipped texture that just glides onto your lips. It feels lightweight, almost like you're wearing nothing, but still delivers intense color payoff. And the *comfort*! I can wear these all day without my lips feeling parched or crusty, which is a common issue with many matte finishes. It really feels like a velvet cloud on your lips. Now, for the stars of the show: ABH Chestnut and Rosy Mauve. ABH Chestnut is that perfect warm, rich brown that I think suits so many skin tones. For me, it's the ultimate '90s supermodel lip, but with a modern twist. It’s deep enough to make a statement but not so dark that it feels overpowering for everyday wear. I love pairing it with a slightly darker brown lip liner for added definition, especially when I'm going for a more glam look. It’s incredibly versatile; I’ve worn it to casual brunches and fancy dinners, and it always looks chic. If you're looking for a sophisticated nude that isn't too pink or too orange, Chestnut is your girl – it’s truly a universally flattering shade that adds an instant touch of elegance. Then we have ABH Rosy Mauve. Oh my goodness, this shade is just *dreamy*. It's a beautiful, soft, muted pink with just a hint of purple, making it a true mauve. It brightens up my face instantly and gives that 'my lips but better' vibe. It’s incredibly flattering and feels very feminine without being overly sweet. I find myself reaching for Rosy Mauve constantly, especially on days when I want a polished look with minimal effort. It’s perfect for springtime, but honestly, it’s a year-round stunner. This shade is particularly great if you want to experiment with a subtle pop of color that isn't too bold, and it pairs beautifully with neutral eye looks. Application-wise, these are super easy. I usually apply a thin layer directly from the doe-foot applicator. If I want a softer, more diffused look, I might dab it on with my finger. For maximum impact and longevity, a lip primer underneath can help, but honestly, they perform beautifully on their own. They dry down to a soft matte finish that isn't completely transfer-proof (you might get a little on your coffee cup), but it's pretty long-wearing. I can definitely get through a coffee and a light snack without needing a full reapplication, and even after fading, it does so gracefully, leaving a nice tint behind. Overall, the ABH Lip Velvets are a fantastic addition to any lipstick collection. The comfort, the color payoff, and the stunning shades like Chestnut and Rosy Mauve make them absolutely worth it. If you're on the hunt for a comfortable matte lip that delivers beautiful color, seriously give these a try. You won't regret it!
