If you lurk around Twitter, you might have noticed extended chatter between me and my dear friends Larie and Tracy about our search for the perfect vamp lipstick (my requirement is a perfect balance between red, purple and brown, that's blackish but not too black. On top of that, in a formula I actually like). That lucky duck Larie already found hers, while I can only report a shade that's not vampy enough. But hey, I heard oxblood is a big trend this fall.
The shade in question: Le Métier de Beauté 'Colour Core' Stain Lipstick in Castelo, a deep wine with a hint of shimmer so it doesn't seem flat when applied.
I like it.
Le Métier de Beauté Castelo retails for $30 and is available at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, as well as select Nordstroms and Saks locations.
The product(s) in this post was provided by the company as a gift during a press event.
vampy enough and you look so model-esque
ReplyDeleteYou look great! this color looks perfect on you
ReplyDeleteand I just have to say that but you have perfect cheek bones!
I think it looks maaaarvelous on you!
ReplyDeleteThat color looks great! I think it's quite vampy and balances your look--dark lip with light eye makeup :)
ReplyDeleteThe color looks really nice! But I agree, just not vampy enough for me, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous on you! I need it in my life. Thank you for the gorgeous swatches /feature!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha @ "I like it". You're too cute!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks fabulous on you! I totally know what you mean though - a vamp has to be a perfect mix!
I like it, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the hunt for the perfect vampy lipstick as well. This one may not be quite as intense, but it is still a lovely colour. In swatches, it always looked more brown, which made me nervous about buying it, but seeing it on you, it's complex and lovely. Maybe not full-on vamp, but it would be a great "vamp at the office" look...
ReplyDeleteI'd try addiction vamp! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't tried it already, you need to try Rouge Dior #976 Daisy Plum! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shoutout, Wandz. I think this one isn't quite dark enough for vampy, but it's a pretty lipstick on its own!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. I love it, love it, love it. And I love it on you - score! We have the same colouring so when I'm in the US, I'll have to take a look at this..
ReplyDeleteI like it too! With those Cheekz of yours everything looks vampy! Shmexxxxy! ;)
ReplyDeleteGosh Xiao.. You look great in any lip color! Vampy, red, pink or even nudes :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful on you, xiao-chan! I'd love to find a good vamp, too!
