Lancome - Pixel Pink Color Fever Shine Lipstick by Thakoon Review

Lancôme introduces the must-have lipstick shade of the season! Color Fever Shine in Pixel Pink is the fourth installation of the Pout-à-Porter series of limited-edition lipsticks created exclusively for the runway by renowned makeup artist Gucci Westman. Westman collaborated with Fashion Designer Thakoon to create a beautiful sheer raspberry shade, which was worn by all the models during Thakoon’s Fashion Week Spring 2008 fashion show.

Pixel Pink is a gorgeous shade of pink with just a touch of mauve/plum in it that keeps it a toned down, subtle shade of wearable pink for just about anyone. It applies sheerly, but it can be built up for more color pigmentation (which is what you see on my lips). It has a nice glossy sheen, and it wears well throughout the day. I like the Color Fever Shine range, because they feel really moisturizing and smooth on the lips, like you aren’t even wearing lipstick. The only downside is the price ($25.00), which is steeper than my usual go-to lipsticks are. Nonetheless, I still think this is a more universal pink, which makes it worth taking a peek at if you can.

Available at www.lancome.com, as well as Lancôme Boutiques, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman.

Hey Christine,

Great review! I have almost ordered this a few times, but I keep balking at the price, especially when you add shipping to Canada. Is there a good MAC dupe?

I have been debating whether to get this lipstick or not. I love pinks, but most are quite similar. Thanks for the review. I might have to buy it now.

I’m in love with this lipstick. I ordered it a few weeks ago, but Lancome messed up my address, and so the package was delivered to my local post office, lingered there for a day without me knowing about it, and then was returned to the Lancome warehouse. 🙁

Now I’m waiting to see if they can get it back out to me, correctly…oh, Pixel Pink! Please come home!

OK, so it’s weeks later at this point and noone will read this, but whatever, I FINALLY got it in the mail, and it’s GREAT. Totally worth it. I know it was designed with tan skins in mind, or so the designer says, but on my paleness it still looks really great, much more flattering than any raspberry or true pink I’ve tried.

What a pretty colour! The packaging looks pretty too. I’ve never bought a Lancome lipstick but I might give this one a try. I wanted to buy MACs Pink Nouveau which seems to be a similar shade but I think Nouveau seems to be a little brighter. Does anyone own Nouveau?

WOW your lips are the perfect color! My lips are super pigmented, so it’s hard for colors to show up unless I prime it with foundation/concealer first.

pixel pink looks great on you! i bought this when you posted the video from youtube on your blog. you’re right when you say the only downside is the price but it’s well worth the 25 bucks!! plus, the packaging is sweet! (there’s even a mirror on it!) i usually wear it alone but when i go out i put fuchsia pigment from MAC over it. i’m not too sure if i can put pigment on my lips but the color turns out very very cool. thank you for posting this up on your site!

I visited Chicago yesterday and picked this up at Nieman Marcus. I love the color but mine looks a lot brighter and plummier on me. It reminds me a bit of the new Blue Raspberry lipstick (the creamy, long last version) from Bobbi Brown. Both are pretty, everyday pinks.

I have been looking for this color for a month and everyone tells me it is discontinued….booo! Where can I cop this in Los Angeles???
