This is a new, limited edition shade exclusively available at Sephora, and it will debut on November 2nd. The consistency was lightly creamy–enough that it didn’t drag across the lips but didn’t slide around while worn–and seemed to become a little more emollient as it warmed up on the lips. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly and lasted for six and a half hours, while also leaving behind a stain. The formula felt lightly hydrating over time.

Beautiful color and case *_*. I am swimming in lipsticks after buying both versions of the Vice Lipstick palettes (which I love, by the way! So handy for an ADD lipstick addict like myself). I have Nevermind by Colourpop too, but this looks more comfortable and less bluish (and thus more flattering). Gosh, these vampy shades just get me!

This is pretty much my dream color lipstick. Last year I went to the Bite Beauty lab to create a satin version of Nars Train Bleu and this is just as gorgeous. Will definitely be picking this shade up!

This is so exciting! I can basically get the Bite Berry Rouge lipstick without actually being VIB Rouge! I will definitely be picking this one up as the color is to die for. 😀

Is this part of a collection or something? Is it common for brands to release one-off product releases like this? Apart from the rouge exclusives that are one-off in theory but only online.

These ultra dark shades are not as flattering as other shades on you Christine. It’s different, but lighter shades are simply more flattering on most women who are lighter skinned, IMO. But you can rock whatever you like!
