Lips

The 80s are back with a vengeance, and I am enjoying every outlandish minute!  Hourglass Cosmetics has positively nailed the opulent trend with Femme Rouge, THE status lipstick of Fall 2010. 

Femme Rouge formula:  Femme Rouge Velvet Creme Lipstick is so pigment-rich and feels heavenly on the lips!  This sophisticated lipstick delivers intense, opaque color and moisturizes the lips with vitamin E.  The formula is water-resistant, long-wearing, paraben free, sulfate free and phthalate free! 

Femme Rouge packaging:  The lipstick tube is heavy like a bullet.  The shiny brown metallic shade is super-chic, and the word “hourglass” is engraved in gold-tone on the lid.  The lipstick itself is embossed with the Hourglass Cosmetics logo.  This environmentally friendly product is refillable!  Every little detail is perfect!

Swatch below:  Grace, a caramel-colored fleshtone.  My new “go to” shade!

Retail price is $30 per lipstick.

In the tube, Best of Breed Tinted Lipglass looks like a bold, pale bluish-grey shade.  I’ll admit, in the early 80s I indulged in blue and silver shades on the lips.  But I never dreamed I’d be wearing them again!

As always, MAC has forced me to reset my boundaries!  Once applied, Best of Breed Tinted Lipglass is a super-sheer, icy pale, silver-blue.  It’s great for layering over lipstick, and a terrific compliment when shades of blue are used on the eyes.

Retail price is $14.50.

Is there anything more sophisticated than shades of pure brown on the lips?  Part of MAC’s Fall 2010 Fabulous Felines collection, Fancy Cat Tinted Lipglass is one of my absolute favorite products from the entire collection.  Described by MAC as a “dark, dirty brown with pearl”, Fancy Cat is a forgiving way to do brown, as a dark brown lipstick can look severe or harsh on certain complexions.

Retail price is $14.50.

From the Fabulous Felines Leopard Luxe collection, Drive Me Wild lipstick is an earthtone terracotta shade.  I’m loving this lipstick for it’s intense color, and seasonless appeal.  It’s not winter-dark, but is still intense!

As always, the Cremesheen formula is a favorite lip-treat!  This lipstick is rich, creamy, and feels so moisturizing!

Retail price is $14.50.

Part of the Burmese Beauty collection from MAC Fabulous Felines for Fall 2010, Pet Me Please lipstick is a champagne earth-tone shade.  I’m loving this shade for its universal appeal, and its frosty finish.  It’s naked… only better.
