Laura Mercier Cherry on Top Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm
Laura Mercier Cherry on Top Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm ($25.00 for 0.12oz.) is a bright, medium orange-red with strong, warm undertones and a creamy, shiny finish. It had rich color payoff with a creamy, lightweight, and emollient texture that applied well with even, crisp lines. The color lasted for four and a half hours and was hydrating while worn.

Laura Mercier Sweet Guava Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm ($25.00 for 0.12oz.) is a bold, bright, medium coral-red with warm undertones and fine gold and pink micro-shimmer. It had very nearly full color coverage, while the lipstick had a creamy, balm-like feel that glided on effortlessly (almost “melting” against the warmth of the lips) that left a glossier finish than other shades. It was a bit more emollient as a result, so it can slide around more, though I did not personally experience feathering. This shade lasted for four hours on me, and it was moisturizing over time. Estee Lauder Envious (P, $30.00) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Must Be Red (LE, $17.00) is darker (90% similar). MAC Cherry Glaze (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Laura Mercier Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm ($25.00 for 0.12 oz.) is supposed to have the “comfort of a lip balm, the coverage of a lipstick, and the shine of a gloss.” The formula is really quite pigmented, creamy, and hydrating; their downfall is longevity was typically less than similar-hued shades with a less emollient consistency (not entirely unexpected). There was a slight, sweet scent to them but no discernible taste. It’s a really comfortable formula to wear, and if you don’t mind reapplying or transfer, well worth a look!
