I wonder how many of you have noticed that the 30 days of lip colours project that started in May never really came to an end? 🙂 Well now it has! Day 30 of 30 features one of the most cult, most luxurious lip colours I own by new and cult makeup brand Le Métier de Beauté.
Le Metier de Beaute is a new luxury brand of makeup that’s attaining cult status by being hard to get (only available at the higher end department stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman… and the like). No mere Sephora for this brand! And prices. Oh the prices!
I was smitten with the Le Metier de Beaute Lip Creme after checking out a friend’s a while ago and Framboise Creme called out my name from across the seas “Paris! Paris! Buy meeeee!!” Never one to resist a siren’s call, I succumbed 😛 Ladies, I give you the Le Metier de Beaute Lip Creme in Framboise Creme!
The LMdB lip creme is a cream lipstick not lip gloss. The texture is surprisingly a little thick which naturally surprised me somewhat. It also looks a little dry, nothing goopy like what you get in lip gloss.
They use a sponge tip doe foot applicator which I do not usually favour, but for this formula, it works. The stopper in the tube cleans the applicator well enough so the amount you get on the sponge applicator is more than enough to apply on both lips. You do not even need to dip again, because the texture is so smooth, and the colour is so intense.
Le Metier de Beaute Framboise Creme Lip Creme swatch
Here is the swatch. I said it was intense didn’t I? There is a high shine and gloss factor that absolutely does NOT wear off at all. I took this on a day’s trial and it was still there by evening, just about. Bear in mind, I had roast duck for lunch, where I let ‘er rip the meat off the bones, and through drinks and water etc. By the end of the day, I had a stain, that was still pretty. This is one seriously long lasting, amazing liquid lipstick.
Oh and the colour. Framboise Creme is a darkened red that is, I swear, wearable. If you love a red lipstick you have to look at this one. You can sheer it down if you like, but I’m not one to shy away from intense colour and pigment 🙂 Its not that bright, I promise.
Also featuring: Inglot eyeshadows #467 DS and 434P , Canmake Cheek and Cheek blush #4
Framboise Creme is a deep red with gold shimmer that is surprisingly light on the lips and not drying at all despite my early misgivings. There is a bit of an almond scent when I apply it, but it dissipates quickly. Luckily, because I don’t like anything that smells of almonds.
There is a shine that some may find a bit bright for the day but which is beautiful for the evening. I like it at any time of the day. Its gorgeous and I’m glad I succumbed 🙂
In a nutshell
An intense cream lip colour that lasts all day. There is a bit of shimmer and shine but it isn’t tacky not glittery and it is lightweight and non drying on the lips. Framboise Creme is a gorgeous deep red that any lover of red lips has to get their hands on. Your collection is not complete with it!
Pros: Longlasting intense colour, Light texture, Non drying, Beautiful colour
Cons: Pricey, Unavailable in Malaysia at time of writing
I would love to pick up another shade but its hard to because I can’t find a store that stocks this that ships internationally. I might still pick up another some time. But I might also wait till they come out with more colours. The rest of the colours are too neutral, too nude and too safe for me. If I’m going to cough up US$36 for a lip colour, it better jolly well be special… like Framboise Creme! 🙂
And this, Ladies, concludes the 30 days of lip colours! Did you spot any you liked? 😀

August 29, 2011 at 8:40 amOmg! That’s so very very pretty! Sigh it’s such a shame they pulled out of the UK 🙁 this one’s my favourite of them all! 🙂
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:10 pmThey’re out of the UK? That IS a pity! 🙁
Hanny says
August 29, 2011 at 9:15 amOMG!!! THat is the prettiest thing ever. If it had something in pink… Looking good, PB!!
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:10 pmThey might – I didn’t pay attention once I saw this colour 😀 Thanks Hanny!
Lily says
August 29, 2011 at 10:02 amHey PB, you rock reds. I stay away because it’s a little too much on me!
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:11 pmThank you Lily 🙂 I think its because when I first started wearing lipstick, I went for something bright and I didn’t quite care if it was too much or otherwise. Now i’m just used to it 🙂 What’s the brightest colour you wear?
Luna says
August 29, 2011 at 10:15 amThis looks gorgeous on you! I stopped by the LMDB counter recently and had to exercise major restraint to walk away empty-handed.
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:12 pmThank you Luna. If I was at an LMdB counter, I doubt I’d have as much restraint as you had! 😀 Then again, the prices would probably be the restraining factor eh?

August 29, 2011 at 2:27 pmWhat a pretty shade! Looks beautiful on you! 🙂

Ria says
August 29, 2011 at 4:13 pmOh wow! the color! Looks good on you. I’ve never been brave enough to wear something like that. I wonder if we have it here. Will be on the lookout.^^
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:14 pmThank you Ria 🙂 I’m not sure if you can get LMdB where you are but if you do manage to come across the line, do check out their Lip Cremes. The texture is amazing.

August 29, 2011 at 4:24 pmI’ve never tried anything from LMdB unfortunately but am SO impressed with the reviews. It’s hard to believe how long lasting this products is, too.
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:17 pmHi Marina! 🙂 I do hope you try something from LMdB soon – I do think you’d like them but their prices can be very off putting, unfortunately. I still haven’t had the guts to try their other products because its just too pricey 🙁

ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:43 pmThank you Jess 🙂
Andrea says
August 31, 2011 at 8:27 pmRevlon does a liquid lipstick that looks very much alike (but with a slight bluish undertone). I think it’s called Grand Garnet.
You might have to layer it a bit to get the exact colour as this one, but it’s much more affordable!
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:45 pmHi Andrea, thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Mari says
September 1, 2011 at 10:07 amWow, it’s gorgeous!!! You got me itching to buy it! I loved the texture – it seems to apply very evenly, which is a plus due to my lack of motor skills. The red lip lover in me is most definitely enthralled by that lipstick!
And girl, you do have lots of lipsticks! I will read all the posts as soon as I can, I’ve been working hard and spent too much time away from the web – now I must catch up with all the lovely red lipsticks… I mean, catch up with the news.^^
ParisB says
September 4, 2011 at 2:53 pmHiya Mari! I’d wondered where you’d gone off to LOL! But glad to know you’ve been working hard which could mean a nice bonus in the offing? 😉 The texture is sublime for a liquid lipstick, that much I will say. Its amazing.
