I was curious of the brands they use for Christina Hendricks' character, so after researching I came across this page and learned that 'Mad Men' makeup artist Debbie Zoller frequently uses Laura Mercier's lipsticks in shades 'Baby Lips' and 'Mistress'.
After looking at the difference between the two shades I decided to purchase 'Mistress'. I love the soft mix between pink and red that they've used to create this shade.
I bought mine off Ebay for 30 dollars which is a great steal for such a high end brand. I was a tad bit skeptical on how it would feel, as I've worn literally hundreds of brands of lipstick from dollar store to Elizabeth Arden. And it always gets dry and generally uncomfortable to wear. I find myself constantly wiping it off and re applying to make it feel fresh.
As soon as I received it in the post, I did my makeup and applied it. I initially noticed it's creamy texture. It's a very rich feeling creme and very different from any other lipstick I've used. The colour is just fantastic, I find it so flattering! I've been wearing it for about 4 hours now and it still feels moist. As it dries it doesn't clump like other lower end brands tend to do. It's definitely worth the price it's stocked at. I've never had any high end cosmetic products, but after using Laura Mercier lipstick, I feel like I've gotten celebrity treatment.
I highly, highly recommend this product (in this colour, and any other shade) to women who are looking for a rich, creamy lipstick in great shades. Treat yourself, ladies! your money wont go to waste!
who is this girl?
