Spring 2015

Christian Louboutin Beaute Spring 2015 Nail Coffret ($90.00 for 3 x 0.20 fl. oz.) is an interesting concept. For a luxury price point, the coffret was actually something that I felt fit with the brand and what you might expect from a luxury brand. The box is heavy duty cardboard, and it's certainly more of a keepsake/display piece if you liked the design. The bottles half the size of a full-sized bottle, and from a price per ounce perspective, it's $150/oz. compared to $125/oz. for a full-sized bottle--or three shades for less than the cost of two. The downside, though, is that two of the three shades had issues with application and overall results. It wasn't even much of a surprise, as the issues were with the two lighter shades, and the issues are ones I've often seen with these types of colors--one hoped that at this price point they would have been perfected. I get a week of wear with this brand's formula with minor tip wear, which is average for me.
