You may be asking yourself, what’s with all the rouge lately? The brands just love that word, don’t they? Rouge this and rouge that.
The word may not be all that original anymore, but it’s berry appropriate when it comes to Clarins’ Rouge Prodige limited edition lipstick.
Dressed to thrill in black and gold, it’s semi-matte, unflavored/unscented, and looks opaque on my lips with a single coat.
If you can see yourself slipping into this lovely lippie, then warm up your giveaway muscles, girl.
Here. We. Go! 🙂

I think lipstick is a hard thing to find like foundation. Sometimes it doesn’t work with your skin tone or sometimes it just makes you look off. It takes a while to find the perfect color :p
What a beautiful lipstick!! The packaging is divine!
im turning 19 tomorro! i wanna win~! = D
This packaging is like almost too amazing.
what a beautiful vampy color
Just saw Black Swan the other day. Lovely costumes, cinematography, etc.!
Straight from the tube, baby! The only way to do it!
gah that lipstick is so pretty. i’m currently watching the inside man– man clive owen is beautiful!
Karen, I loved this collection from Clarins – went to the counter to ask about it, and the SA has not yet even heard of it….I do hope it turns up in India at some time! I just want it for the packaging 😀
“The word may not be all that original anymore, but it’s berry appropriate when it comes to Clarins’ Rouge Prodige limited edition lipstick.”
Karen, you are very PUN-ny! (har har har)
i like wearing lip balm first then my lipstick straight from the tube 🙂 how does tabs wear his lipstick??
Would love to try this lipstick!
Happy Christmas, Karen!
Secret talent: Eating spicy food and getting heat rash.
ooh la la lipstick!
love red lipstick!
I like to eat cheese
i love reds especially during the holidays it just brightens up one’s face. i put on lipstick by starting in the center of my lips and just brushing it out.
I’ve never tried any Clarins product but that color is GORGEOUS! I love rich reds.
i love lipstick!
Oooh I’d love a chance to win this gorgeous lipstick! The packaging’s so pretty, and if I won it, I’d totally give it to my mom because she would rock this color like no one else! It’s right up her alley 😉
straight out the tube, bay bay!
Holy gorgeous, Batman! I’m an “out of the tube” girl, myself- I don’t know about Batman, though. 😉
Is it weird that I do my upper lip first? It’s because I’ve got a pretty sharp Cupid’s bow, so I have to be careful not to color outside the lines, as it were. 🙂
Almost, always straight out of the tube! The packaging of this one is so classy 🙂
One way I love to apply my lipstick when I want a more sheer or natural look is by dabbing some onto the middle of my lips and slightly patting the color on the rest of my lip. I like doing this when I want some color but not too much.
Wow what a great prize! I am am mid way thru a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon (for my husbands birthday) I just took a break to look at makeup online 🙂
Straight out of the tube – haven’t invested in a good lip brush yet.
thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I’m a sucker for this kind of color. I imagine myself wearing it but then when I actually try and wear it out, I sort of chicken out and blot it instead of wearing the color full on. But when I win this, I’ll definitely wear this on my lips full on, not blotted!
i apply straight from the tube 🙂
I don’t bother with lip brushes… I apply all over and then press together!
Also, following you on twitter 🙂
Hi Karen, the last movie I saw in the theatre was Frozen. It is by far the most depressing movie I have ever seen. It brought me down so much!
I’m so excited for Christmas!!!
People are always impressed that I still have lipstick on after eating a full meal. The secret? Don’t let your lips touch your fork! I love how the reds are so wearable now. They make your lips look just bitten. When I see pictures of myself in high shool, I look like Mrs. Potato Head or Leona Helmsley with my giant opaque red lips. Don’t get me started on the lipliner fiasco.
that’s a beautiful red and i love the packaging!
Oooh, I love me some red! I definitely rock the dark-hued lipsticks. =)
I LOOOOVEEEE that color. i am def a lipstick girl and I’d love to add this to my collection!!
Can’t wait for Christmas!!!! Merry Christmas T money and K Dawg
The packaging looks so luxurious!
I’m going to take the easy way out. The last movie I went to see was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. Not originally my thing, but really good stories actually. Lots of fun once I was introduced to them by my family all these years later.
huzzah for lip products
i’m starting to obsess over baby pink =)
For neutral colors, I apply lipstick straight from the tube onto my bottom lip & then press my lips together. For bold colors, I use a lip brush!
Straight out of the tube! 😀
I would love to try this lipstick!
I <3 lipstick, I feel undone without something on my lips
I need a new lipstick in my life… And this gorgeous Clarins tube would do perfectly!
Lovely packaging!
Gotta love lipstick!
Count me in! It would be a great Christmas present 😀
Hi Karen,
a berry-lovely colour!
I’ve had a bad stomachache today But I love your blog, nothing could keep meaway.
Mrs. Karen, I read your blog without fail every day, you are so dedicated and amazing! Get it girl!!!!
Watched Tron and it was an okay movie. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.
love love love lipsticks !!!!
I love this lipstick, its a gorgeous colour. As for Tron, I loved it, the soundtrack in paticular x
Apply lipstick from the tube, and bottom lip first… and lots of blotting! But I am not very good at it yet…
I cannot stop baking. I wish I could somehow make money off of consuming my baklava and brownie cookies at 2am.
This is my 2nd (consecutive) year to celebrate the Christmas holidays away from my family who are continents away 🙁 I’ll be hosting Christmas lunch & dinner at my place though (which only means I’ve still got loads of things to do).
Oooh gorgeous red and beautiful packaging!
I am wearing glittery red lips to a christmas party tomorrow! check out dustyohunter’s video on youtube for a better idea 🙂
straight from tthe tube- bottom lip first 🙂
I never notice it without lipstick on, but whenever I do have dark lipstick on, the shape of my lips tends to always look different than what I expect…which is weird, because you’d think I’d know how my lips look, but the shape just looks so different with and without lipstick…
Anyway, Clarins is awesome! 🙂
a.sterisk@hotmail.com
It’s almost Christmas 🙂 🙂
Definitely the bottom lip first then press together technique. Hmm…. not sure where that habit started… Probably not the best though because my upper lip has much less pigmentation! Ah well, that’s what opaque lipstick is for!
All the best!
-Em
Looks gorgeous, I can totally see myself loving this lippie
I like to apply my lipsticks straight from the tube.
I also follow you on twitter as JFunnyvalentine.blogspot.com but the twitter account is a different email address: heidi_complex@hotmail.com
That’s funny, I work in a place called Rogue!
I barely ever wear lipsticks, I don’t have much experience with them so it always feels like I have to check on it to see if it’s not all over my teeth or face.
However, this is a beautiful color, would be perfect for my Christmas outfit.
I apply from the tube to the centre of the lips and then use a lipbrush to achieve an even layer of product all over my lips. I like to wear lipstick over Benefit LipPlump: it makes my lips look fuller, neutralizes my lip colour and makes any lipstick last much longer *_*
Straight from the tube. I don’t have a decent lip brush.
I usually apply straight from the tube unless it’s a very dark pigmented lipstick, then I use a brush to control how much I apply.
Hello!
I’m a girl from Denmark and I’ve been following your blog for more than 1 year! This is my first comment ever…. I’m sorry but I’ve always been a silent reader :p
anyway, you’re AWESOME !!!!!!!
merry christmas,
xoxo
I use a lip brush for dark colors. .
I’m so disappointed in my favorite brand ever I’m considering not buying from them ever again. 🙁
I ordered a very expensive make-up brush on the 15th, and still haven’t received it yet (it’s supposed to arrive in 3 days tops). Actually they haven’t send it yet at all! It’s my one and only christmas gift this year, so I’m terribly disappointed I won’t have it for christmas. And the customer service just doesn’t answer my emails. How rude!
I love red lipstick and that packaging is gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I don’t wear lipstick too often, I’m more of a lipgloss kinda gal. But when I do wear it, I apply straight from the tube or use my fingers. I’m thinking of picking up a lipstick brush to add to the collection but I’m not sure how much use it’d get!
I am to lazy to apply lipstick with the brush, however for a red lipstick it’s a must
I just watched Rapunzel in 3D and the floating lanterns scene was just so romantic!
The packaging for that lipstick is to die for!
At my new job at an Ivy League college I hardly ever wear l/s anymore — these women believe in the dead pale academic look! So I need a fabulous red lippie to shock the heck out of them. Thanks for the chance, Karen! Happy holidays.
That’s a lovely shade and the packaging is stunning!
We just moved from Florida to Massachusetts and we just saw snow for the first time this week! It was wonderful!
Dang, this is lovely. 🙂 Straight from the tube, for me. And bottom lip first. I actually didn’t know, so I had to grab my lip balm and put it on without thinking. That’s pretty sad, I realize. 🙂
On a happy note, I’m here until noon and then done, done, done until January 3rd. Yippee!
Oh that package is simply sublime!
I apply according to my mood. Sometimes straight from the tube. Sometimes with a brush.
I might even finish it off with a little concealer around the edges when I’m in a crazy mood 😉
Oh YAY! I would love to try one these and winning it would be awesome 🙂 Thanks for having such awesome giveaways! Only with dark lipsticks do I use a lipbrush, otherwise I just smother it all over and blot. Retweeted as well for a 2nd chance! Good luck everyone and happy holidays 🙂
Happy holidays to everyone!
I just use it straight from the tube
last day of work for this week – yay!
Dear Santa, I have been a girl gal this year – please bring lots of presents, especially the ones from my wishlist, lol
Can’t wait for tomorrow night – Company X’Mas Party 🙂
Looks like a great color! Happy Holidays!
How awesome is this for the holiday season? Would love to see it on my husband’s cheek at New Year’s.
Im cooking roasted chicken at 9am so I can shop later!!!!
Ooooh this colour is so perfect for the holiday season! I think it would match my new red dress XD
Hi Karen! That’s such a gorgeous color!
I recently went to see Morning Glory in the theater (the one w Rachel McAdams as a news anchor, I have a total girl crush on her!!). I went on a Sunday afternoon and my boyfriend and I were the only ones in the entire theater! It was really cool… it felt like we were at home, just with a really really large screen, haha.
Ohhhh, love this color! I’m a crazy lipstick/gloss/chaptstick lady. I carry a whole combination of the 3 in my purse at all times. This backfired when I went to the bar for my birthday a week ago because I managed to lose my whole collection of the shades I’m wearing right now when my purse spilled on the crowded dance floor. Lesson learned though, only one lipstick or gloss per purse from now on!
Usually straight from the tube (starting with the upper lip, I have a sharp Cupid’s bow). For parties or stuff I’ll use a lip brush if it’s a bright colour. Love me some reds 🙂
Straight from the tube, unless it’s in a palette. I won’t lie though, for some reason I can never do a neat job with a brush, haha.
Happy holidays Karen and fam!
I would love to try this color! 🙂
That lipstick looks amazing, both the color and the packaging. I bet the surface of the cap is reflective enough to act like a mirror when you’re applying it. Awesomeness.
Pretty 🙂
Oh my what a beautiful, bold colour…I’m not one for statment lipstick but for this I would make an exception!
Wishing you a very Happy Holiday!
Best, Lisa
I can NEVERR find anything fun to do on the weekend :/
oh you’re the best! i use my lipstick straight from the tube, i just feel as if i get more color, however any lipstick i use for other individuals i’ll use a lip brush! LOVE all your giveaways!
It looks gorgeous ~~~
Tweeter: @shin_tian
Love lipstick. I mean I LOVE LIPSTICK! I can’t even begin to tell you how many I have bought…and I don’t want to know – it would be overwhelming!
I apply from the tube, usually. Occasionally I use a brush. I apply to the bottom lip first, then press lips together, then go over the top lip. I don’t use a pencil, even though every time I buy a new lipstick, the SA tries to sell me a lip pencil. I don’t like them – they dry out my lips. And, thank goodness, even though I am OLD, I still have most of my lipline intact – and I don’t have lines around my lips for the lipstick to migrate into. In the future, I admit, I may have more use for a pencil.
im fed up with applying for jobs. i feel like im doing it totally wrong b/c everyone seems to have employment but me :(. i think im done with rejection for the year. i sent my resume for 3 jobs today and 3 yesterday. back to it in the new year, i guess? wanna see my resume? seems like everyone else in the world has…and has passed it up.
I’m a straight outta the tube kinda girl.
I apply my lipgloss while I’m waiting for the subway.
I am wearing half lashes for the first time today and I am nervous that they are going to come off!
happy hump day!!!
Beautiful packaging!- the last movie I saw in the theater is Fantastic Mr Fox- not going to lie I haven’t been to the theater in awhile…. LOL.
I LOVE RED LIPSTICK!!! 😀
I love the packaging, it would look so pretty on my vanity!
The packaging is awesomeee
Enter me please!
Oh, that is loooooovely.
3 things I’m hoping for:
For my face to stop breaking out,
So find yellow riding glasses for my mom,
And for friends to start returning my calls!
What a beautiful shade! I would happily rock that with a gold and grey smokey eye and contoured cheeks, preferably with a few bling-y accessories! 🙂
I apply straight out of the tube. I have a nice MAC brush, but just don’t use it.
Pretty! I apply straight out of the tube too… most of the time I don’t have time to apply with a brush!
That lipstick is beautiful! (:
And i like to use a lipbrush.
Never tried this brand before. What a luxurious-looking package!
Merry Christmas, fellow beauty addicts!
No lipbrush for me..way too time consuming..
Gorgeous lipstick! I apply it straight from the tube. I always use a lipliner first and smudge it into my lips. Helps my lipstick last longer!
i go back to work today after 2 weeks of vacation…booooo!
well, when I apply lipstick, methods vary. If it is a sheer lipstick, I apply bottom first, then top, and then rub my lips together. If it is dark, but not too opaque, I use the same method, but work more slowly to be precise, and rub my lips together less. If it is opaque, I might use the same method, or occaisionally I use a lip brush. Also, If I have a lipstick that I have broken and have had to depot (rip lancome trendy mauve and nyc lilac shine :(…), then I will use a lip brush, because it is easier than using my finger. And that, my friend, is how I apply lipstick. Don’t even get me started on how I add in lipgloss… p.s…what is all this commentluv business?
Merry Christmas, Karen! I love your blog!
I am obsessed with red lipstick ever since I saw Kate beckinsale in pearl harbor. So classy!
The packaging is phenomenal! I LOVE IT! 😀
I always scrub my lips first, with my toothbrush. Then I apply some vaseline and I am ready for my lipstick! And I am retweeting as @Sanna4444
I last saw the latest Harry Potter in Spanish while abroad! Love the color and your blog!
Hmm. Just commented, not sure if it worked though…here’s the second go:
I like to lightly apply lipstick with a brush usually starting with the lower lip and then the right side of the top and then the left. Finishing off with a once over all the way around.
Love this color and your blog!
wow… love to get a chance to win this sensuous red lipstick. The packaging is so cool. I apply a lip balm first and then the lipstick. well i still haven’t bought a red lipstick for my collection…lolz.
Hoping to get lucky this time.
The packaging on this lipstick is exquisite. I figured it was a $45 lipstick!
You always do so many nice giveaways, Karen – you’re the best.
My husband and I just found out our tabby kitty is actually a Norwegian Forest Cat – in other words, she is going to be gigantic!
When applying red lipstick, I do lip balm, apply make up, blot lip balm, apply lipstick straight from tube, then lip liner, blot, et voila quoi
So, my sister and I were waiting for our delayed flight at SFO. There was this adorable little boy in red footie pajamas. His dad was on the phone with his mom trying to figure out food for the family and to contact those who’d be picking him up.
Well, the little boy kept on running away, up and down the aisles, his dad trying to catch up. Finally, the dad belted the boy with a strap, and attached to the chair. He was so crushed his little run-around was over. He’d stomp his little footie feet, and his dad smiled and raised an eyebrow at his little spat.
The chairs at the airport at our terminal didn’t have fully attached arms. The little footie guy managed to slip the strap free. He ran his little heart out. He got caught. Didn’t break his spirit though. He just laughed and smiled.
Needless to say our frustrations over the delayed flight were definitely softened by the entertainment and the adorableness of the little boy.
I will always remember him. He was wearing red pajamas, and that is one fab red lipstick. I’d love to win it. 🙂
I think I don’t even own a lipstick brush… does it really make that big a difference when applying it??
It helps with exact placement, and building up color in layers.
Speaking of lipstick, I posted a nice, neutral lipstick/gloss combo for dark skin in a tutorial on my blog yesterday. It works so well for the office or when you’re wearing bold eye makeup.
I’m not sure what I like more – the gorgeous packaging or the color itself 🙂
I am *obsessed* with colors like this.
Oh, I’ve been drooling over this for awhile. I really want a red lipstick, and this is so gorgeous.
im not a big lipstick fan but i think i might change my mind
I’m such a sucker for packaging…the Barocco collection is beautiful!
My favorite color is 100% gold and that stunning packaging is just so awesome. Personally, I never use lip brushes with lipstick, I like to just slick them on straight from the tube. I feel it’s so much more fun and glamourous that way!
I am loving Korres’ lip butter lately, it adds color and hydrates my lips during the cold winter
For matte red lips I like to have already massaged in some lip balm in the center of my lips, line exactly to my lip shape with a clear liner (the Revlon one is great) and then apply the lipstick straight from the tube. Gotta finish up by getting rid of the lipstick in the center of my lips with a finger (a la Amanda from Ugly Betty!) so there’s no smudges on my teeth. I’m still new to dark, opaque mattes on my lips, but it works well for the morena skintone so I’m learning to love it!
i want it! never tried clarins but i want to!
I just finished my rather limited Christmas shopping… just trying to keep busy and keep my mind off the fact that I’m so far from home this year.
I love me some red lipstick STRAIGHT from the tube 😉
Straight from the tube, baby!
I like to apply lipstick with a lip brush .I feel like it penetrates the lip better that way.
I love the color of this lipstick, and the package is beautiful.
I apply lipstick from the tube usually.But it seems to last longer when I apply with a lipbrush.
I apply straight from the tube. That color is gorgeous!
awwww…I love your blog:)))
Yesterday I saw the 3rd Narnia in 3D—-all I’ve got to say about it is that I’m in love with Aslan since the 1st part:))
Ohh, and I apply it straight from the tube
Kisses,
Vivien
I wondered about the Rouge word too — Chanel Rouge Laque, Rouge D’ Armani, ….Clarins Borrocco Rouge, etc. , does it make the lipstick sound more exotic and saleable?
i dont wear lipstick very often, but this is a great color
<3
Never tried Clarins before…their booths always look so boring and they never give out fab freebies like Clinique or Lancome.
I always apply straight from the tube since I’m lazy but bright reds need extra time and pencil help. Such a high maintenance colour!
Hey Karen,
Did you see my spiel about Shadow in the open thread? He and Rooster have spent most of the day playing. I’m about to make my traditional English fruit mince pies now. I had to wait 30mins for the pasty to chill and it is just ready.
I love putting lipstick on straight from the tube 🙂
I’m not much of a lipstick wearer except during the winter time…something about the cold makes me want to wear lipstick instead of gloss!
Perfect red lipstick = My holy grail
Still searching . . .
I usually apply lipstick directly from the tube, unless I want a super-chic red lip, then I will take the time to use a liner and then apply the lipstick with a brush.
And I always do my bottom lip first!
The colour looks gorgeous! I’m just wearing the Clarins Rouge Prodige Lipstick in Raspberry Sorbet, which is, surprise, surprise a gorgeous raspberry colour 😀
I never used to wear lipstick, but Urban Decay’s Naked convinced me 🙂
I like to talk to myself at the grocery store.
that is a beautiful color. I’ve never used lip brushes but I think i might try to tomorrow. I have a fab makup brush kit and i never use the lip brushes. Although, sometimes I’ll use them for eyeliner.
I finally found a foolproof red in Ellis Faas Ellis Red, it’s my ideal Snow White shade. I thought that would be the end of my lipstick infatuation, I should have known I was wrong XD Moving on from red into textures, suddenly texture is more important to me than it was, hunting for that smooth glossy creamy colour that stays put. Maybe one day I’ll find my perfect pink as well! I know I enjoy looking!
That is the most gorgeous lipstick I’ve ever seen, color, packaging and all!
I go straight from the bullet with lipstick and blot the sides of my lips for a natural look. This packaging is so classy. I have been loving the joli rouges by Clarins, they are nicely moiturizing. 705 soft berry, strongly recommended.
Saw The Tourist, and Angelina Jolie was absolutly gorgeous in that movie. She’s def inspired me to add some miminalist makeup to my routine.
I have writer’s block.
What a beautiful color! I apply my lipstick straight from the tube, regardless of color. If it’s a lighter color I’ll make it opaque on my top lip, then a bit sheer on my bottom and then blend them together. Darker colors I tend to apply to look more like a stain, so just dabbing the lipstick on then blending. I’ve tried to use lipbrushes but I never get the look that I’m going for with them 🙁
That color is freaking amazing! I love it!!
Wow! It’s a pity they don’t sell that brand where I live.
I love that color!
When I first saw this lipstick online, I loved the color but as a fair skinned redhead with green eyes, I couldn’t see how I could ever make it work on me. However, I recently saw it in one of the stores in Manhattan and although I’m not used to wearing shades like this, I definitely think almost anybody could wear this color well. There’s something magical about this lipstick and I keep hearing it calling my name. I do love the style and decor of the tube, which would draw attention simply by removing it from your handbag. But between the color of the lipstick, which is actually lighter in person than it appears in pictures, the style of the tubing or a combination thereof, I absolutely adore this lipstick. The winner of this contest will be one lucky person. Happy holidays and good luck to all. May the new year bring lots of better health, happiness, prosperity and a ton of newly launched FANTABULOUS make up products .

I love lipstick!
I saw tangled with my sister in law. It was awesome, I’m so buying it. It made my inner child squee with glee
Oooh want want want! So pretty
I’m guilty of applying to bottom lip then pressing my lips together to distribute the color (a MUA at MAC made fun of me for that once lol). Then I use a lipbrush to fill in and define the lipline 😉
This is a gorgeous red!
after the day i’ve had, i would love this 🙂
I recently bought my first MAC lipstick and it’s viva glam cyndi. I love this color on me, and would love to try more bold colors 🙂
looks beautiful– would love to try!! I smear lipstick /balm at all times to protect my kisser!!
Lovely!
i’m so excited for christmas! i finally asked for a coastal scents 88 pallette! 🙂
The last movie I saw in theaters was Let Me In, though I’m dying to see Black Swan. This lipstick just redoubled my desire, as it seems to be the perfect Black Swan color.
that’s a very pretty red! i apply lipsticks directly onto lips, then purse and squish around.i actually can do it without mirror, even pigmented lipsticks. 😀
I’ve just became obsessed with lip brushes
For my second entry, I tweeted the above comment about this contest on my twitter page (www.twitter.com/DianeLori) and the link is as follows:

I’ve been sitting here for like ten minutes trying to figure out what to tell you about me!?! So there you go! I am totally undecisive about everything!!! Oh and I put my lipstick on starting with my top lip and then I press my lips together then finish off the bottom lip! Happy Holidays!!!
Zsa Zsa’s hubby’s got nuthin’ on me……. I was trimming my eyebrows this weekend and dropped the scissor IN MY EYE. From now on, I’ll be investing in mini brow razors, no more pointy objects for me. My new nickname is Grace, because Runs With Scissors was already taken.
Straight from the tube! Best way to get the full pigmentation!
love, love, love the colour of this lipstick!
Straight from the tube, bottom lip then top lip. Smoosh, blot. Done.
I generally apply lipstick straight from the tube. I’m a bit of a lipstick junkie. My current obsession is MAC Cyndi.
I always apply from the tube.
I usually apply lipstick straight from the tube, then rub lips together and make sure all is good. : )
oh lord I want to win this!
i use lipstick straight from the tube 😛
I usually apply lipsticks directly from the bullet, unless it’s red! 🙂 With reds I use a lip brush 🙂
xxx
man i want this so bad
Gorgeous!
I love their packaging! Makes make-up so much more fun and beautiful!
I find it difficult to find good colors of lipstick for me 🙁
Beautiful packaging! Last movie I saw in the theater was Due Date, it was funny!
I am 30 yo and just bought my first tube of lipstick! I’m such a chicken! I am very fair with super rosy cheeks and I have always been afraid of color in anything stronger than a gloss. I’m obsessed with lipstick, and finally decided to give it a whirl! I’m officially hooked! I am seriously lusting after a beautiful red like this!!! Love the blog! Thanks!~
That is one of the prettiest lippies I’ve seen in a long time, love to put that baby on my lips!
Did an epic xmas shopping run today! unfortch i couldn’t find the naked palette for my mom and sister 🙁
I have a paper to do!
so pretty! thanks for this giveaway :]
I have a love/hate relationship with lipstick…for some reason, every colour I’ve ever “loved” has been discontinued right around the time I go looking to replace it.
This looks so pretty–thanks for the sweet giveaway & Happy Holidays to you & Tabs!
Just saw Tron Legacy in the theater. I thought it was pretty good.
I’ve heard SO many good things about Clarin’s, yet i’ve never tried them!
Always apply from the tube but I always wear a neutral colour that is easily corrected if i make a mistake.
I love the packaging
I usually apply straight from the tube after lip liner but for strong colours I use a lip brush. I love strong colours.
This looks fabulous!! Thank you for the giveaway!
Merry Christmas to you and the lovely cat.
such a pretty lipstick
wow to the packaging and product! I apply a lippy either sraight from tube or finger blotted.
Saw “Tangled” with my tater tot a few days ago. Insofar as Disney princesses are concerned, this is one of the more interesting ones, both in terms of her vunerabilility and courage. It was a pretty cute movie, visually interesting, and as a major bonus, had the least annoying sidekicks.
beautiful color
i would loooooove this pleaaaase!!! <3 <3 <3
That’s a gorgeous shade…thanks for the giveaway!!
Lip primers make applying lipstick easier!
Straight from the tube, with some lip gloss on top
This is so gorgeous. Possibly my perfect lipstick.

I like to apply lipstick straight from the tube.
I like to apply lipstick straight from the tube, but it’s a bit hard to control when i need precise lines 😛
I’ve been looking for a great red lipstick. This might be it!
love wearing lipstick, but it always wears off and i’m too lazy to reapply! i need to get 2 of the same color, then carry 1 around in my purse for reapplication.
Karen, I’m going to see Tron: Legacy 3D tomorrow with my BFF and her husband. XXOO
pretty!
If I’m applying a darker lipcolor, I like to use a brush to apply first for precision, then I blot, and apply straight from the tube, then blot again. I usually find that this method will make the color last the longest with minimal touch-ups.
Hey Karen, how’s it going?
I love love love the packaging on this and the color looks great too^_^
Awesome color!!!!
lipstick makes me very very happy 🙂
I was able to finish all my Christmas shopping today! Yippee!
Hey, right after another Maggie, lol 🙂
I apply lipstick straight from the tube if it’s a low-key color, but for dark or super-bright colors I use a lip brush for the first coat (I cannot for the life of me get clean edges straight from the tube) and then go straight from the tube to deepen the color.
i just recently saw Love and Other Drugs movie, it’s a very touching movie, you guys should watch it if you like melodramatic with a little comedy type of movies. (warning: this movie has a lot of sexual scenes, not recommended for 16/below/ years old teens) when i got home i researched the premier of the movie and i saw anne hathaway wearing a red lipstick and i just lovee it !
i notice red lips are in right now !
I always apply right from the tube! I find it difficult to apply properly with a brush. Merry Christmas Karen! Thanks for the amazing blog and all of your give aways.
I’m a NARS heatwave girl through and through, but can you post pics of how this lippie looks? I’m looking for a new bright red….can red lipstick be worn with red clothes? I always feel so matchy-matchy that I reach for pink whenever I wear red.
I wear my lipstick right from the tube 🙂

What a beautiful lipstick!! The packaging is divine!
I love love love the packaging! 😀
I finally got myself a lipbrush this weekend and I don’t know how I’ve been living without it! I’ve always had a problem with applying too much lipstick– and with a red lippie and lipbrush is a must! 🙂
i just restocked my mac fix+ and picked the blot powder and select moisturecover.
So sweet of you to do this! Hm, applying lipstick…I apply out of the tube, I’m too lazy to use a lip brush 😉

This lipstick looks purty and I want it so… here I am! 🙂

This is such a gorgeous color. I bet my husband would love it. He really likes deep dark red colors!
I apply lipstick straight from the tube, yo. But then again I’m lazy.. and only wear light colors 😛

I wear my lipstick with a pencil, and my favorite is Craving (MAC)
Greetings! 🙂
This is some of the most gorgeous packaging i have ever seen! I NEED!
I’m new to red lips, so I would love to add this to my growing collection!

I apply with a lip brush, as its easier to sheer out lippies that way. Thanks for the giveaway!
