My Experience with Circa Cosmetics Color Absolute Velvet Luxe Lipstick – 12 Ella:

Packaging: This lipstick comes in a beautiful black and gold packaging.  The packaging feels quite architectural with lots of lines and grooves to it. It looks quite classy but is slightly big compared to the usual lipstick tubes that we are accustomed to. The packaging is sturdy and the cap shuts tight.

Shade/Pigmentation:  Ella is a deep dark berry shade which looks super glamorous and is quite apt for the Fall season. This shade is surely not an everyday wear shade; it is best reserved for a glamorous evening look, but it will suit most skin tones. Even though, the lipstick is decently pigmented, you will need multiple swipes to achieve an even finish. If you are a bit shy of wearing deep dark lipsticks, then you can wear it as a stain.

Texture, Finish, Staying Power:  The lipstick is quite soft and creamy and glides on the lips. There is no tugging at all when you apply the lipstick. It feels quite light on the lips and is very comfortable to wear. It does not dry out the lips and feels quite moisturizing.  The finish is a lovely semi-matte finish with a very slight sheen.  The lipstick has a floral fragrance which I love but those of you who do not like fragrances in their makeup products will not like it.

The staying power of the lipstick is quite average and it lasts for about 4 hours with little snacking.  It cannot survive a whole meal. It transfers a bit too. It leaves behind a pretty reddish stain on the lips.
