O-M-GEE.

Black lipgloss – from the catwalk to the sidewalk! I saw an ad for the new Lancome densely pixelated lipstain La Laque Fever and went to the Bay to look for it. Not only is it electric pink, it is claimed to be the “Revolution in shine. High Potency color.
Lacquered lips last for six hours.: The nice lady at the counter showed me this BLACK lipgloss and I was like HUH!? Then I spent some time Googling it and found some pretty terrific ones. What do you think?

The look comes from layering a translucent black lip gloss over a vibrant red lipstick which was all over the runways this season. It brings subtle, darker intensity and magnifies lips with dazzling radiant shine

Lancome had a waiting list when it released it’s Piha Black Lip Gloss – a sheer, shiny black made to wear over their Piha Red Lipstick. This creates a multi-layered look – tres cool!

YSL has also release their own version of the black sheer gloss:

YSL GLOSS PUR Black goes from plum to ebony, it dresses lips in an infinite range of shades, depending on how it is applied – feather light or rich and bold. Transparent yet intense, it plays on the depths of black and the pure shine of a sparkle-free formula.
