Monochrome Soft Matte Lipstick - Brown Series $50 Value

All shades of the Prada lipsticks were sold out by the time I was eligible to shop the Anniversary sale. So when they restocked, I grabbed Tiepolo quickly. For the sale price, I think the lipstick is worth it. I did not see the shade in person so it was a bit of a gamble but when I received it, I knew it would work for my skin tone. It’s a little brighter than what I’m used to (I use mostly tinted balms) but I love this shade! It works well with my NC20 skin. The formula is indeed matte but it applies smoothly. The case is beautiful and simple and I love the weight of the case in my hands. I am excited to try other shades now.

I was hesitant to order this lipstick as it’s been hyped up but thought I’d buy it because of the anniversary sale price. I’m so glad I did! It’s a beautiful brown tone that isn’t drying on the lips. The color goes on nicely and the case is refillable. The lipstick does have a scent to it that’s a little strong for me when I first put it on but it does go away. In my opinion, the formula is worth overlooking the scent. I will buy a refill after I’m done with this one because it’s a definite keeper.

I’m hesitant to write this review because I don’t want to it to sell out. lol It’s super moisturizing and such a beautiful complimentary shade that’s very natural. I love it so much and am excited to try the rest of the shades.

The lipstick had a strong floral scent that was off-putting

So all of this began with the last Nordstrom anniversary sale - I got the clutch with the lipstick & refills. Since then I absolutely LOVE all their lipsticks. I grabbed the 0000 Universal balm when it was on sale and I grabbed B109 Amaranto. These lipsticks are fabulous- the packing is better than Chanel lipsticks (The one I’ve been using is Rouge Coco Flash - 54 Boy) - the feel is luxurious & the formula in my opinion stays so much longer on. I am not a fan of obvious red fire engine lipstick for my everyday wear - Prada’s pigmentation lasts SOOOOOOO long! So this particular one is absolutely made to be a blanket for everyone - I think it’s kind of a “smurf” color meaning that this would be the best color to start out with. There is something about these lippies - literally I put them on at 6:45 AM and they last up until I leave work till around 6pm. I’m talking meetings, coffee drinking, lunch sammies, water bottle drinking - ect. They have a good lasting stain, IMHO. I think the sale price of 35$ is perfect too, though for me, at 50$, I’m ok with that price as well, but I’ll nab them at the Anniversary Price! I have procured several of the lipsticks & at this point lol I think I can buy the refills now and I will. Prada hit this outta the park - the feel is luxury, the pigment stay on with very minimal touch ups, & it’s worthy of treat status. Absolutely happy!

It feels so smooth and creamy on the lips, and the color is absolutely gorgeous. It gives my makeup that perfect polished, feminine touch. Definitely perfect for everyday day.
