New Sugar Cosmetics Plush Hour Matte Lipsticks Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics just launched their Plush Hour Matte Lipsticks, I have been trying them out since about 10 days now and here are my thoughts.
Claims: The most stunning of matte lipsticks is here – the Plush Hour Matte Lipstick! This is the stop-everything, drop-everything and grab that lipstick moment that will forever change how your lips feel. The velvety richness of this lipstick is addictive, and of course, SUGAR’s signature intense pigmentation gives you an opaque coverage in just one swipe. It is the most light and long-lasting lipstick that you can get! These heavy-duty lipsticks are made with high-fusion point waxes, that lock the colour on your lips, through every bite, sip and kiss. It comes packed in a light-weight, air-tight container to save the lipstick from drying out. Chuck the lip liner and the hassle of priming your lips, this is all your lipstick wishes in a cute black tube.
How to apply: Holding the lipstick straight, start from one corner of the lower lip, smoothly gliding towards the other corner. For your upper lip, outline your cupid’s bow and fill the colour from one corner of the lip to the other. Blot on a paper towel and repeat.
Benefits: The SUGAR Plush Hour Matte Lipstick is a feather-light, non-drying and non-feathering formula that easily glides in your lips. The super-matte finish is non-transferable and lasts for verylong. One swipe will cover your lips in opaque, intensely pigmented matte finish.

Shades Available: 6
It comes in a small square packaging, different than their usual long and slender packaging for lipsticks. It has a waxy formula and a velvet matte finish, they feel better on the lips than the Matte Lip Crayons. They are super light weight and non drying, you don’t feel like you have lipstick on your lips.
They hardly transfer and stay put for 5-6 hours easily, longer without eating. They feel super comfortable on the lips.
Pigmentation is pretty good and you don’t need more than 2 swipes even for most pigmented lips. I found only one shade Berry Boop slightly patchy, rest all were fine.
I love the shade range they have launched, the neutrals in this range are amazing. They will add more shades in the future, but currently loving all the shades they have!
Shades:
Cherry Jane is a cool toned red
Teaker Bell is a brown burgundy
Minnie Mauve is a medium rose mauve
Powerbuff Girls is a muted red toned brown
Berry Boop is a deep berry
Little Bo Peach is a medium peach
They are very economical and I highly recommend these! There is nothing to not like about them. My absolute favourites are Minnie Mauve, Powerbuff Girls and Little Bo Peach. The cool toned red Cherry Jane is stunning too, and perfect for the current festive season!

Why you should make it yours?
Unlike its chalky peers, this cruelty-free, and high-pigment formula is infused with Vitamin E for a soft, cushiony and flexible finish. The unique formulation ensures that your lips stay comfortable, colored up and matte-smooth all day. Another bonus: These vivid, full-coverage hues are hand-selected and named by our Inhouse Nykaa Panel, just in time for the festive season. The best part, they’re super affordable so you can go all out and buy the whole range.
First of all, I love the packaging! It’s all black rectangular packaging with a magnetic cap. For the price, the packaging is very classy!
Also you get 4.2 g product which is the maximum one gets in a lipstick, and I am glad the quantity is good too.
They are super pigmented and you will need two swipes to get even, opaque coverage on the lips. The finish is creamy matte, so they are not dry or powder matte like the MAC Matte or the Chambor Matte Lipsticks. They glide on super easily and feel very comfortable on the lips.
They are not transfer proof and will transfer on all cups, glasses, etc. But the pigment is so strong, that it doesn’t fade on transferring. It stays put for 5-6 hours and with light snacks and tea. With a full meal and oil based food, it will fade. But it does fade evenly and leaves a nice stain behind.
At first, I only liked 3 shades thinking rest of the shades are the usual and nothing different. But when I tried them on, I was like I like this too and this too and it went on 😀
I have divided them into 4 each i.e. in 3 parts for convenience of swatches. Let’s start with the first four.
01 Notorious Red is a true apple red
02 Frisky Fuchsia is a bright fuchsia pink
03 Devious Pink is neutral rosy pink
04 Racy Rose is warm coral pink
Here are the lip swatches..
Coming to next 4..
05 Pink Brat is light rosy pink, might not look on pigmented lips
11 Naughty N*de is a perfect n*de brown shade, MLBB shade for many.
12 Taupe Thrill is again a pretty taupe brown n*de, another Kylie like shade
Here are the lip swatches..
Overall, I would say these are a total value for money! In terms of price, quantity, quality, shades, formula, they score on everything. Highly recommend them!
My favourites are Frisky Fuchsia, Orange Vice, Wicked Wine, Mischievous Plum, Taupe Thrill and Naughty N*de.
