A surprise package has shown up at my door, and I am sharing it with you all! I have two exclusive shades from the e.l.f. velvet matte lipstick line that are being sent out only to Beauty Squad A-listers. This box reminds me of a similar one that e.l.f. sent last year full of new Moisturizing Lipstick shades
These e.l.f. velvet matte lipstick shades will not go on sale to the general public, and will not be given to those in the other Beauty Squad tiers. However, it is super easy to become a Beauty Squad member and to reach A-lister status! All you have to do is to make a free account with e.l.f., and be sure that you are signed in every time that you make an online purchase. When you are starting out at zero points, every $1 you spend will give you two points, putting you in the Glow Getter tier. Once you reach 101 points, you enter the next tier where every $1 spent gives you four points. This is the Rising Star tier. Finally, you become an A-lister when you hit 401 points, and you get six points for every $1 spent. You can also redeem your points in exchange for full-sized products, as well as many other perks. The e.l.f. Beauty Squad reward program is a lot more generous than other beauty reward systems out there. It is free to join and to participate, so why not?!
I do own two other e.l.f. Velvet Matte lipstick shades and they are very impressive and comparable to these new shades. The formula is highly pigmented in one swipe with bright and intense color. Being that these are lipsticks, there is no dry down time or uncomfortable wear. The lipsticks are matte right off the bat. In fact, these feel more like the Moisturizing Lipsticks also from e.l.f.
Brick
e.l.f. Velvet Matte Lipstick in Brick
I think that e.l.f. has done a good job with Brick. This Brick red color truly is the color of any red brick building that I have ever seen. I have way too many reds in my collection, but this one is quite a unique beast for me, since it is not a red-red. I think that it is perfect for fall and extremely wearable.

Orchid
e.l.f. Velvet Matte Lipstick in Orchid
Orchid is a bright fuchsia lipstick, and I love it to pieces. I adore vibrant fuchsias just as much as I love nudes and mauves. This lipstick will be filed in my collection right next to Urban Decay’s Firebird, among others. I also think that Orchid will be great for fall. Hats off to you, e.l.f.!

I hope you are enjoying this post that is a little bit different and on the shorter side. My final thoughts on these exclusive e.l.f. Velvet Matte Lipstick shades are that I am digging these shades with every fiber of my being, the formula is nice, and I am thankful for e.l.f.’s kindness. Are you a Beauty Squad member? Will you try any of the velvet matte lipsticks? Let’s chat in the comments. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
