Tried out La Fascinante today. I honestly can't say which shade I love more. This one is a perfect pinky cherry red, whereas La Sensuelle is deeper, richer... Love 'em both!

Ok. Here is La Ravissante. I love it. It's like a pinky coral. I think my darker lips help me in this situation. My lips are a bit darker than you would assume for someone with my complexion. The flash makes it a tiny bit brighter than it is in real life, but not by much.

Yep, Shontay that's all you. I can't wear it at all. Corals are funny on me... they sometimes make me look like I'm sick or something. There are very few coral shades that I can actually wear.

Shontay, honestly I've seen you in a lot of lipstick colors, & that one just may be my favorite one on you yet. Beautiful & fresh & face brightening.

Funny, its more orange/coral than pinky coral on me.

Consider me enabled for La Ravissante...if it looks nearly as good on me as it does on you.

Shontay, you look stunning. I agree with Elegant, there is something about that shade that just suits you perfectly. Your skin looks unbelievable, by the way- you should be in ads for that foundation!!!!

:shocked: Thanks, Katred! You're making me want La Sensuelle. It looks awesome on you. I was walking through the mall today and my buddy from the Chanel counter in Bloomies saw me. I told her I was coming back around to look at the velvets even though I already have two. Well, after what I spent in Sephora I got the hell out of there! :lol:

I just lost my whole post, twiice.

Shontay, you look great! I agree - that color is perfect for you!

I got my Velvets and lip bag today - not sure about Fascinante yet - Kate, it is gorgeous on you - I may have to try the smoosh method to see if that works better for mre.

Michelle, I had the same reaction about Raffinee and Caline too!

I hope my counter has these cuz I have my eye on a few more!

Now I am lusting over the lip bag. I had Spark a while back and ended up losing it somehow. I actually forgot about it, but it is a great color. I don't know about the other glossimer though.

Right now I have on La Caline and I love it. I had a bit of lip balm on before I applied. I couldn't believe how smooth it went on. When I opened Caline and Raffinee, they looked so similar in the tube, but when I swatched them I could see that Caline has a violet undertone.






I felt the same about La Caline and Rafinee when I first swatched them - they looked identical. Raffinee is a brighter, rosier color than Caline.

Well, I did it. Broke down and ordered La Distinguee from eBay. I could kick myself for paying $50 for a lipstick (including shipping) but I've thought it over for a few days and decided I want it. La Furtive might be next.

^ LOL, well I don't have it or I would just push you over the edge

I think Shadowylady has it.
yep, Elegant has an amazing memory :)

Shontay - I may be late replying to this but Teheran is gorgeous!! It does have shimmer so if you have drier lips it may look a bit uneven (it's fine on me). It's also lighter than most coral shades I've seen you wear and it's on the cooler side. I love it on me and always get compliments but I have cool undertones. I haven't seen it on anyone darker/warmer than myself so I wouldn't know for sure how you'd like it. It's still a gorgeous shade and if you don't like it on it's own, you can always teak it with lip liner/lip gloss :)

Shontay - here's a pic of me wearing Teheran RC. I wear that lip colour a lot but I looked for a pic in which I was at my tannest (this one is from last August so I was prob NW30). HTH somehow:



Katred - hahahah....I KNEW you'd get both reds...and why not reds look great on you :)

All US ladies - happy to see you ladies finally got the Velvets! Aren't the awesome? I need at least two more, La Raffinee and La Ravissante me thinks.... and they def need to add more shades to the line. I'm thinking a pinky nude with that texture would be great! Like YSL Nude Beige shade in the RA velvet formula

Thanks, Shadowy Lady. Teheran looks great on you. I might take a chance and order it in the next few days. I think it will haunt me until I do. I hope that they add more colors to the velvet line, also. I would love to see a lavender. I also love the idea of a nude. Two types of nudes: one for the pale gals and one for darker gals like me. I do appreciate a good nude here and there. :)
