Are you more inclined to try a product that gets a lot of buzz/hype? Or does it put you off?
It honestly depends! Sometimes it motivates me to try it sooner rather than later, and other times I feel like I’ve heard/seen it too much that I want to skip over it because it feels like everyone else has already talked about it enough.
Each week, Le Metier de Beaute opens up their vault and unveils product pairings where if you buy one product/set, you’ll get something else, too. One favorite seems to be a polish duo, where you buy two polishes and get two other shades for free. Long-time readers will know I fell in love with Le Metier de Beaute on my first trip to NYC (in 2009), first discovering the brand on my first ever visit to Bergdorf Goodman’s. They have many impressive products and shades and have continued to be one of my favorite brands since 2009. When Le Metier de Beaute asked if I would be interested in curating a pairing of products that my dear readers would get a discount on, it was a no-brainer.
Temptalia Curated Pairing ($94, $79.90 with discount)
15% off with code TEMPTALIA. Plus, U.S. readers will get free shipping on their order (and all orders this week) All told, you’ll get $134 worth of products for just under $80!
Also, any Temptalia readers who sign up for their newsletter and puts ”Temptalia” in the notes section (or sign-up while purchasing the pairing, and you won’t need to enter any additional info), will be entered to win one of ten prizes featuring $450 worth of LMDB products (Peau Vierge Dark Spot Corrector, Noir Precision Liquid Liner, Replenishing Daily Solution, Jade True Colour Eyeshadow, Chameleon True Colour Eyeshadow). Again, there will be 10 winners, and you can be anywhere in the world and win!
It’s incredibly rich in color and yielded full color coverage in nearly one pass. The consistency is very creamy, though slightly thick (not as thick or as heavy as YSL’s Rouge Voluptes). Rogue glided over the lips without pulling or tugging. I thought I might have issues with the color feathering, because of the texture, but I didn’t have any issues with feathering or bleeding outside of the lip. This shade lasted six and a half hours on me, and it was lightly hydrating during that time. It’s also supposed to plump (“without the usual tingle”) using “encapsulated hyaluronic spheres” (which are also supposed to help hydrate). I didn’t notice any tingle, and I can be hyper-sensitive to lip plumpers, and my lips seemed fuller, but I couldn’t tell you if it was the plumping or simply the bolder color combined with a healthy shine. There was no scent or flavor to this lipstick.
It's a really good formula overall, but I think the thickness/creaminess of the lipstick may feel too heavy for some, while others will appreciate the coverage and hydration of the formula.

The formula is supposed to have “extraordinary shine” with a “kiss of brilliant color” that’s “hydrating.” The shade range “[ranges] from barely there to bold and dramatic.” First Kiss had semi-opaque color coverage, and I think it might have been nearly opaque if it applied more evenly. It had a tendency to settle a bit into lip lines and had a translucency that gave it somewhat splotchy coloring. The consistency is medium-thick and very tacky. It feels a bit gummy and gluey; it’s not as thick as MAC Lipglass, but it’s as sticky, if not slightly stickier. It has a sweet fig scent that might be cloying for some (it was noticeable even when I wore it, and I usually don’t notice scents in lip products once applied). It lasted four and a half hours, which is slightly better than average. It was neither drying nor hydrating while I wore it. This was the first product by Edward Bess that disappointed me; this didn’t feel like a high-end or luxury lipgloss at all.
