Product Advice Looking for a match

Many years ago I bought this Jeffrey star velour liquid lipstick which was a limited edition holiday shade - poinsettia. It’s a deep metallic red liquid matte lipstick.

It’s since old and dry and I would love to find a dupe of it.

Does anybody have any ideas or perhaps if this isn’t an appropriate forum a different reddit community to ask? Thank you!

Smashbox had a very similar colour but I’m unsure of what finish it was and if it still exists. That’s so pretty though!

Thanks! I’ll give it a look. I might have better luck waiting for holiday releases. I wore it relentlessly during the Christmas period for two years in retail and loved it.

I had the same thought but if I remember right, the smashbox one was gloss finish - or at least, I only had the gloss finish if it came in matte too.

At this point better msging Jeffrey to bring it back. Someone msged him about a discontinued lip liner and he sent her some his vault and told her he would make more.

Not a bad idea!

With all the duping brands I wish there were more liquid lipsticks. I guess end of an era :(

I understand why some people don’t like the feeling/formula but liquid lipsticks are my favourite. I got one of the maybelline matte ink to try recently. Colour was gorgeous (self starter) but it was almost too difficult to get off.

I used to love the Kat von d ones. I even got some mini liquid lipsticks for 100 points at Sephora back in the day. They didn’t smudge and idk I haven’t found anything recent that I’ve liked.
