My favorite (Korean) matte lipstick that lasts the whole day!

Peripera's Ink set

The matte lipstick craze has been going on so long that they aren't even fashionable anymore. I mean, they are getting replaced by glossy, multi-chrome lip glosses. 

But I am not a fan of sticky hair (because inevitably it would get stuck on my super glossy lips).
 And I still swear by some matte lip products.

Of course, me being a Korean beauty fan, I had to try some of their lip stuff, right? Well, today I'll be talking about my favorite from them all - Peripera's Ink the Velvet.

What is it?


It's a non-drying light matte lipstick that comes with a doe foot applicator. It is long-lasting and once it rubs off it leaves a stain on your lips.

My Velvet Ink is in the color Pin Red which is a vivid red with cool undertones.

I got this color in my Peripera's Ink An Art Of True Femininity - A lovely girls' Cabinet set. All are lovely, each with a different formula, but the Velvet is the most western people appealing compared to current beauty trends.

I really like the design of the small bottles and how travel-friendly they are. I can keep them in my purse and apply the lipstick on the go!

One thin layer feels like silk on the lips. Lightweight and resistant. The applicator helps with a more precise application of the lipstick.

The formula itself feels a bit wet and silicone-like. But I never had problems with it, so I think it's a winning combination for my lips.

It does survive eating and drinking. After a while, the bold color will disappear (while eating oily foods) but you'll be left with a nice red stain. The stain is beautiful and lasts for a long time. 

On me, this means - about 6 hours for the lipstick alone and the stain lasts until the end of the day. 

Price?

One 8g packaging of the Velvets costs from $10-$14. It depends on sales. 
My 5g packaging came in a set that was on sale for $17 (normally it's $22).

If you feel like trying all the formulas, the set is a perfect thing. But if you are set on trying only the Velvet formula, then, of course, go for it. 

What do you think? Are you a fan of velvet lipsticks?
