Laura Mercier has a new collection called Arabesque which features a blend of pinks, blues and neutrals. The lipstick is particularly delightful and has a “cushiony, lightweight texture.”
Unlike a lot of lipsticks which rely on oils and waxes like Candelilla and Paraffin, this Mercier product uses a unique blend of esters and polymers to deliver rich color with “one smoothing swipe.” The effect feels great on lips although you may find it requires a coat of gloss to boost up the shine.

That sounds like a more sensible change. I would like to try this and feel the difference since polymers are so effective in mascara after all.
I don’t think I’ve used this particular line, but I’ve always been really impressed with LM lip sticks. I’m not a huge lipstick person, my lips are naturally pretty dry, but the ones I’ve tried give lipstick-color-coverage with a really comfortable moisturizing finish
I recently purchased a LM Creme lipstick and it does feel great on the lips! I find the color to last/wear more evenly that many brands (you know how some fade from the center of your lips but the color remains around the edges? I HATE that!). What I don’t like about this lipstick is the case. I left it in the bottom of my cosmetic bag in my purse for a week, and the case is scratched and the color chipping (the case is metal), for a pricey lip product I would expect something better.
