Laura Mercier's Stick Gloss in Peony - Review and Swatches

I recently went to Twitter for help on a red lip color for fair-skinned red heads (like myself).  The folks at Laura Mercier responded that I should try their Stick Gloss in Peony.  I usually HATE color on my lips.  Being so fair skinned - red lips scare me!


From Sephora's Website :
"The new Laura Mercier Stick Gloss cares for your lips while delivering color in a sheer and sophisticated finish. Part lip balm, part lip color, and part lip glacé, Stick Gloss provides a sheer wash of color that creates dimension and adds fullness to the lips."

Peony is described as "Deep Aubergine Plum".  I have to admitted, I was a little scared at first impressions.  I was expecting something lighter.

Thank you Laura Mercier for the good amazing suggestion!  The color was sheer, yet build-able.  It is easy to control how light or dark you want to look.  The texture was smooth and felt very hydrating!  I think I *finally* found a color I can wear and not be scared of!

Sephora has 4 shades on their website and Laura Mercier's website has 14 to offer!  I think I want to try it in 'Pink Jewel' next.

I purchased this product.
