Lip Lust: Le Metier de Beaute Papaya Creme
Remember how there was one Le Metier de Beaute gloss that slipped away (aka out of stock)? I ordered it off of Neiman Marcus Online last week (they had free shipping!), and it arrived yesterday. I thought I’d share it, because I love, love, LOVE IT!
The color is Papaya Creme ($36), and it’s this beautiful, shimmering shade of coppery-peachy-gold. The color itself is stunning (at least to me!), but the magic lies in the gloss’ pigmentation and wearing power. It goes on so much like it swatches, and in a gloss, this doesn’t happen nearly enough (Hello Kitty glosses, I’m talkin’ to you!). These glosses also wear for hours without touchups required, too!
See a skin swatch and product image of Papaya Creme…
Wow! So pretty, I’ll have to check em out!
Yes, this one is tops, Aleksis!
That was the best. I love luxury lipglosses, just ordered an 26-buck Rock&Republic one. Good color btw.
Which R&R one did you get, Kayra?
That is so gorgeous! Are these in any way like the Lanc
A little bit, but the shimmer is REALLY fine. I can feel some grittiness to the La Laque glosses, but these feel like butter!
Gorgeous gloss!
My fave 😀
Would you say these l/g are better than MAC’s lipglasses?
Yes!
Oh man. I need this and Framboise Creme.
Those two are my faves!
Wow how sophisticated is that gloss! Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting!
I LOVE IT! It is perfect in every way!
wow,also very sexy!!!!
looks so great… i have a similar colored lipgloss,but this is better 🙂
Beautiful, somehow this reminds me of Expensive pink e/s, pink/bronze colour. Although I’m at a loss what kind of blush/ eye combination would pair up perfectly with this. I am not good with colours!
Interesting comparison 🙂
Peachy eyes, smoky eyes… for sure.
I’m so glad that you photographed this. I saw an image of this the other day on MUA, and fell in love, but had yet to see it on anyone. Now I know it would be $36 well spent 🙂
Yes, this is one of the most gorgeous lipglosses I’v ever owned!
whoa I love this color!
I know! Isn’t it lovely?
This is gorgeous! I can see why you liked it so much. 🙂 Wish it was available in the UK too…
I’m surprised it isn’t! I gotta read up on the history of this brand.
Pretty!
Thanks, Lydia!
That
You gotta try it if you can, Tina!
I love it! Do you have anything under it (lipstick)? If not, it’s really GREAT!
Nope, not a thing!
I love that color and the name! Papaya Creme just sounds delish and the gloss looks delicious too =D Nice summer color
Gorgeous! Looks a lot like our beloved $50 lipgloss no?
Yes, it does. Why do you think I was totally drawn to it? LOL.
Yes that is beautiful!
I know! Thanks 🙂
ooh pretty. reminds me of poco pink MAC lip laquer.
Ohh, talk about an old school color!
This is GORGEOUS, but I don’t think I could stomach spending over $30 on a lip gloss
LOL, be careful… once you do, it gets easier and easier 😛
So can I assume that you can get this at Neiman Marcus? I’ve never been inside one but this might be the reason for me to go in for the first time!!!
Only some Neiman Marcus’ carry them, I think. In fact, I’m not even sure of that 🙁 I know Bergdorf’s in NYC had an actual counter, and I know you can buy it online at both Bergdorf’s and Neiman’s, just not for sure in-store!
hey this is gorgeous! can you use it in a full face?
I’ll try, Kat!
wow this colour is gorgeous 🙂
Totally agree with ya, Pinky!
wow! its looks icky in the bottle but after application it looks super nice! too bad its pricey!
lol, it’s super pretty 🙂
its gorgeous but I cannot shell out that much for a gloss..
It is quite pricey, but I’m happy with the purchase so far.
I just saw this and fell in love! The free shipping thing was still going on so I just purchased it. But that price is crazy so I just had to knock off a couple of glosses on my upcomming mac list. =(
Aww! I hope you really love it when you get it, though, Krys!
love this color 🙂
Me too 😀
Can somebody help me with this? I can’t seem to find out how much is in that tube of lipgloss? Either grams or ounces will help. Online doesn’t give up that info. Thanks soooo much in advance!!!
I think it’s around 0.17 oz., Lil, if I’m remembering correctly!
Wow, $30.00 is the most Im willing to pay for a lip gloss but I just had to get online and order this, I love it…..thank you!!!!
I hope you LOVE it, Yarid!! 🙂
that’s so gorgeous! do you know of a MAC dupe?
poco pink lip lacquer. i don’t think it’s available anymore, but i got a tube at my nearest CCO.
I’ll have to check for it next time I’m at a CCO!
Not really 🙁 Maybe Melon pigment with gloss!
I want it 🙁
But I don’t think that brand exists in my country 🙁
Boo, I wish their distribution was wider!
I love this but $36 for a lipgloss?? That’s hard for me to swallow. Don’t know if it’s worth it… But it is absolutely beautiful!
It’s worth it for me, but it is really pricey, don’t get me wrong, LOL!
that color is gorgeous on you!
Thanks, Yanlin!
what mac or nars lip color is this similar to?
I can’t think of any from MAC, and I don’t know NARS’ lip line well enough to say either way — I can’t think of any though.
I can stare at your lips like forever because they are so perfect
Aww, you’re too nice, Mikki!
I finally broke down and bought this Christine! I tried not to because of the price but I keep coming back to it. I ordered it from NM too. I hope it looks as good on me as it does on you! 🙂
Yay!! I am glad you ordered, I hope you LOVE IT. Please let me know!
This arrived last night (super fast shipping, I ordered on Tues!) and I’m in LOVE. The consistency is incredible and is it me, or does this smell like yummy cookies or some kind of dessert?? I have to say I think this is the best lippie I’ve ever had. Goes on like a gloss but has more of a lipstick texture. Thanks for the recommendation. My wallet is crying but I’m smiling! lol
No problem, Jennifer! These babies are reallyyy pricey, but if the color is what you’re looking for, they are superb 🙂
Oh, and one more question… Do you have this in any other color? I would love to see swatches if you do. I admit, $36 is a lot to pay for a lippie but if it’s perfect, I wouldn’t need to buy anymore from anywhere else.
Yep, here they are… http://www.temptalia.com/le-metier-de-beaute-heart-stealin-lip-gloss-lip-swatches
i love this color!!!!!!
i got the apricot creme but feels a bit pale.
Have u ever try the clear brilliant lip gloss? how is that one? i’m kind into that since i like sheer briliance more than lip creme.
I think that one does run a bit pale. Still pretty, though! Layer a bit over a deeper lipstick to make it seem less pale, too.
I have – they’re pretty, though I prefer the cremes more (more pigmented!).
ok, so gorgeous!!!! I know I’m a bit late on the band wagon for this one, but I was just looking at your favorite lip glosses and this one stopped me in my tracks! I just had to order it. $39.00 with shipping is a tough pill to swallow for a gloss, but I think it’ll be worth it! Thanks for the recommendation!
I hope you love ittt!
That color is beautiful, I just ordered it! I have an obsession with this brand, probably because its so exclusive. It’s like the forbidden makeup lol. Do you have any of the Color Moisture lipstick that you can swatch? I search the web for swatches and rarely come across them or never find the right color. I have Cannes and its beautiful but not an everyday color, I’m dying to see a pink/nude everyday shade, if you have any please swatch them! The lipstick is amazing like the gloss!
Not yet, but I’ll try to get some 🙂
Have you tried NARS Sandpiper lipgloss? I found it quite similar to this swatch, but I haven’t try this in person…
I hope it can be a lower price dupe! :]
I haven’t!
