I have a new cosmetic brand to share with all of you! Nicolet Beauty is a cruelty-free brand based out of Los Angeles that carries a line of matte lipsticks and lip glosses. I was sent a few lipsticks to try and have swatched the incredible colors in addition to reviewing the formula. Let’s begin the review!
The Formula
Official Description:Full color, non-drying matte lipstick. Made with Rice bran wax, Avocado oil, Olive fruit oil, and Beeswax. Fragrance, paraben & cruelty free!
These lipsticks glided on very easily and were packed with pigment. I recommend two coats for a full coverage look. The matte lipsticks come in a TON of colors (I listed them below along with their shade descriptions). I was sent “Avery”, “Tempe”, “Shiloh”, and “Sicily”. Scroll down to see my swatches!
