Laura Mercier Black Cherry Lip Glace ($25) is one of 13 brand new Laura Mercier Lip Glace shades launched for Spring 2014. Mind you Black Cherry is kinda a vampy Fall lip color but I don’t care I’ll take Lip Glace in any shade of the rainbow because the formula rocks it.

Laura Mercier Black Cherry Lip Glace is a deep, rich cherry. The shade has a rich warmth of purple and a bit of a blackened cherry look for a true vampy finish on lips. It isn’t a fully opaque shade as my natural lip color is visible after a few applications but I did take note the formula is slightly thinner, less thick, and considerably less tacky than some of my other Lip Glaces.

Interesting thing about the formula I don’t think I’ve ever had the experience of a Lip Glace with this little stickiness to it. This shortens the wear slightly so I get about three hours in before I feel the need for a touch up. Typically Lip Glace has more of a plush tackiness much like MAC Lipglass but with a thicker consistency and a weightless feel. This new consistency is nice and quite a bit more shiny than other shades I own but I do prefer the older formulation. Mind you it could be isolated to this shade only.

Like all Lip Glaces this has a cream brulee flavor and fragrance that’s pleasant but fairly strong so beware if you’re sensitive.

I find Laura Mercier Black Cherry Lip Glace very wearable. Typically I can’t really wear vampy shades of blackened berry like this but I think the touch of sheerness to shade makes it very wearable.

Do like!

The formulation is a little different than what I’m used to from Lip Glace but the color is lovely. If you’re looking for a wearable shade of vampy cherry this would be an easy one to wear!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Oh my god, I want it. I need it in my life, like, yesterday. Maybe this will be my “midterms are over, time for exams” present to myself in a couple weeks.

    It looks great on you! It pulls more orchid/violet/magenta on your natural lip color.

    Hi,

    I’ve been trying to find this shade ever since I tried it, but apparently they stopped production. Do you have any recommendation on a lipstick similar to this color?

    Thanks!!
