all swatched on bare skin

" Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh - erotic nightmares beyond any measure, and sensual daydreams to treasure forever. Can't you just see it? Don't dream it, be it. "

I couldn't wait until Monday (Mani Monday) to show you guys the uber glamorous Christian Louboutin Nail Rouge. It is by far more than a nail polish, it is like a collectible. The packaging screams femme fatale and I literally gasped when I opened my Sephora box and saw the glossy box inside. It couldn't believe the size and just how gorgeously done the bottle was. They didn't spare any expense on this, and the price shows at $50 a bottle. I really can't wait to see the other colors, like that taupe grey I had my eye on a few posts back.

The polish is thick but not too thick where you can't spread it evenly and smoothly. One coat is really all you need for an opaque, true to color, glossy manicure.

This polish may not be for everyone, but it definitely needed to be in my shoe lover, makeup addicted hands.

one coat!

For those of you that don't know, I love shoes. Christian Louboutins have always been the epitome of sexy in my opinion. I am lucky to own a pair and although very sexy, they are not very comfortable.... Sigh. Now Mr. Louboutin is releasing a range of nail polishes and I cannot contain my excitement! I can now wear Loubi's everyday! Now all we need is a Loubi red lipstick to match. (hint hint, Christian!)

Each nail polish retails for $50, which for those of you always wanting a piece of Christian's collection this is your chance at just a fraction of the cost of a pair of shoes or a handbag. The packaging is all the class and seduction you would expect from the Louboutin brand in a lusty little bottle.


Red rouge is available for preorder now at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. You can also be notified when it is available from Sephora as well. They will be ready to ship out on August 6th and the rest of the 30 shades will be launched on August 31st. (That taupe gray looks gorgeous!)

Kat Von D is famous for her matte multicolored pout and these lipsticks look so fabulous. Introducing her Studded Kiss Lipstick Collection...

There are total of 30 (yes 30!) shades that are now included in her permanent Sephora collection. The shades range from a pale nude to a moody black. There are some really interesting shades too like the lilac below and then a shimmering deep navy called Poe. The product description states a 10 hour wear time which is pretty impressive. The matte formulas generally last longer anyway so I will be interested to see how these last.

Multiple textures are available in this collection including shimmer and of course matte. I tend to be drawn towards the matte texture but the shade Adora (a metallic candy apple red) looks so gorgeous. It is a repackaged version of her limited edition holiday lipstick from a previous year and I am so glad she decided to make it permanent.

She had previously added additional colors to her liquid lipsticks which had me super excited. I hope she adds some of these colors to that formulation too since they are so different. Here is a link to them too in case your are interested in checking them out... Kat's Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick.

Feeling dangerous lately? Mac's Lady Danger lipstick is the perfect accessory! First off, I love the name. Second, It is the first Mac red that I bought which lead me to have 78 of their lipsticks in total, and counting. I even have a backup!




It is a gorgeous opaque mix of red and orange with a creamy matte texture. It has an almost bright coral tone to it but is most definitely a red lipstick.

I love matte lipsticks but I know that some can be drying. This one however has never given me any issues with that.

I highly recommend this shade. It brings such a brilliant pop to the face no matter your skin tone when worn with a simple cat eye. You can even throw a gloss on top if you're feeling extra snazzy.
