Bobbi Brown's Black Velvet Collection is a surprising mix of colors from the brand--it's very classic in a dark, sultry kind of way. It's not what I'd expect from Bobbi Brown, yet it's exactly in line with...
Guerlain Gwen Rouge G Lipstick
Guerlain Gwen (69) Rouge G Lipstick ($46.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deepened ruby red with a glossy sheen and nearly imperceptible micro-shimmer. It's opaque, and like many Rouge Gs, wears incredibly well--my lips still looked scarlet after...
MAC Smoked Purple Lipstick ($14.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep, dark reddened purple. It's not exactly the purple you first think of, but I find myself always gravitating back to using the word purple to describe the color. It's...
NYX Hero Lipstick ($4.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deepened neutral-cool blue-based red with a creamy, glossy finish and opaque color. My NYX Round Lipsticks seem to be scent-free overall, but I do have a few that were brand new and smelled a little on the plastic...
If you thought Chanel was skimping on the darker, vampier shades for fall... not so! Part of the launch of the new Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss, there are a few new shades of Rouge Allure Lipsticks being...
NARS Angelique Lip Treament ($25.00 for 0.06 oz.) is an ultra sheer neutral rose that almost leans coral--it just brightens up my natural lip color a bit. It has a glossier finish than your average lipstick, but it feels very lightweight and is...
Burberry Ruby (18) Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a gorgeous shade of bright, lush red with a faint blue-base but not at all too cool for warmer skin tones to wear. A few weeks ago, when I reviewed Burberry's Russet Blush, I had so many of you ask me about the lip color--in...
Burberry Cameo (08) Lipgloss ($27.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a beautiful shade of peachy-melon with soft golden shimmer and a nice level of glossy sheen. It's semi-opaque, so it delivers a healthy dosage of color to lips, but it doesn't cover or mask your natural lip color. ...
MAC Explicit Lipglass ($14.50 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a sheer taupe-brown kind of lipgloss. It's gray, it's taupe, it's the grayest mauve. I think Explicit is such an interesting shade, and it works really well layered over darker,...
Coming at you on September 2nd, MAC will launch corresponding lipglasses to February's roll out of Viva Glam Cyndi and Gaga Lipsticks. Like the lipsticks, the lipglasses are only around for a limited time (six months) -- both the...
