$65 for a lipstick is absolutely crazy.
The $65 lipsticks just keep popping up in front of me! China Doll is gorgeous
I agree but $65? That is a stretch.
For $65 these are an easy pass.
All those reds are ???!
Too sheer and too expensive for me. The shades are pretty, though.
I’m cringing at that name China Doll and at the $65 price tag, but the colors do look gorgeous
I’m also gob-smacked over the obscene $65 price tag.
So am I, Mariella, but I *stupidly* scrolled down and saw Red Carpet! Wish I could unsee that beauty….•sigh•
The beauty of this site and all of Christine’s work is that there will probably be numerous affordable dupes (and, of course, we can hope that it gets a poor rating – a C and short wear time, bleeding, etc. will make it all easier to bear, don’t you think? Maybe we should ask Christine to lie to us!)
You’re right! There will be dupes that don’t cost $65. Hopefully, they won’t live up to lux expections or…..what you said! ?
Really pretty colours! I like a lot of the pinks!
For $65, a lipstick would also have to clean my house and feed the cats. Ain’t no way. And they look no better than some drugstore products.
Susan – I was thinking along similar lines – it’d have to mow my lawn, fill my car with gas and maybe even wash my windows! I work with some very disadvantaged teens and I know how their families struggle. I can be as frivolous as the next person but there comes a point where I can’t help thinking “that one lipstick could be groceries for S’s family”
agree. way too expensive. will definitely pass
The colors are lovely but there is no way I would ever pay $65 for a lipstick !
Gorgeous colors. Ouch on the pricetag. Wondering what the texture is like compared to other lines. And longevity. Will look forward to your review!
I agree with the many comments that $65 for a lipstick is too much money. Easy pass for me.
These make Tom Ford and Guerlain lipsticks look like bargains.
These are stunning! But so is that price tag…ugh. Hard pass, but I can’t wait to see the dupes!
colors are easily duped and the price is criminal
For $65 US these aught to be stunning. But I see a lot of similar shades here. Lots of other brands do great lipsticks at half or more than this price.
OMG 65.00!!! Loving Red Carpet. Might make me cave. I guess another $10 above the most I’ve spent before on lippie is not to far fetched. Ummm…
Be still my heart: Red Carpet. Whoa. That shade has me swept off my feet! But I have so many reds…and this may make it into joining those.?
I want them all but can’t afford half one! Lol! Wow! Ouchy!
Gonna be honest: if Chinoiserie is the perfect long-lasting, satin “just adds color to my colorless lips” lipstick, I might bite the bullet.
Agree with the ouch factor. Like Loubou, CdP in this case does jump the bar into conspicuous, unwarranted consumption. The colors and finish seem swell, but Mariella is right….these would be guilt l/s for me.
And we thought Tomm Ford was expensive ?
Camellia and Red Carpet are gorgeous, but I’ll be waiting for the dupes when you review them! Haha.
$65? This is an easy pass for me though.
Nice looking day lipstick..but the price tag always deters me.
Ok, I do spend for Tom Ford lipsticks because I love them, and l did buy a few Louboutins. The Louboutins at least when they are finished you can give to your crazy mother to hang on her Xmas Tree as ornaments, so you don’t feel so bad for spending so much money on them. These jobs would be around 80.00 CAN, and look like a CHANEL Coco lipstick for half the price, which is still pretty high!
Which colors are limited edition? Thank you.
Red Carpet and Water Lily
The tops of these lipsticks look kind of …. warped, lol.
I know people are freaking out on the price, but this is in line with CdP, so I’m not fussed by it personally. I have two shades already (Bamboo and Water Lily) and will almost certainly pick up China Doll at least.
These look super lush but really slippery.
China Doll is freaking gorgeous, but the name is problematic and not PC anymore. I think this collection’s names falls under cultural appropriation these days. These looks super plush though and I’m Interested to see the grades!!!
I think these are gorgeous!!! I love sheer, glossy lipsticks! The colors look so pretty – especially Bamboo!
