- WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Mary Valleau! Congratulations, Mary! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂
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! 🙂
- One (1) tube of Clarins Barocco Rouge Prodige lipstick (a $24 value).

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like how you apply lipstick (Do you go straight from the tube or use a lip brush? Do your bottom lip first and then pressing your lips together? Do tell.), the name of the last movie you watched in a theater, the person you look up to the most, or tell me about one of your hidden talents — you get the idea.
- Second, you can enter by following me on Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:

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

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 😀
Ashley says
“The word may not be all that original anymore, but it’s berry appropriate when it comes to Clarins’ Rouge Prodige limited edition lipstick.”

Rosie says
i love lipstick!

vonnie says
straight out the tube, bay bay!
Molly says
Holy gorgeous, Batman! I’m an “out of the tube” girl, myself- I don’t know about Batman, though. 😉
Yao says
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. 🙂
Appu says
Almost, always straight out of the tube! The packaging of this one is so classy 🙂
Audrey says
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.
Gina G says
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 🙂
Heather says
Straight out of the tube – haven’t invested in a good lip brush yet.
thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Nina says
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!
Natasha says
i apply straight from the tube 🙂
Meg O. says
I don’t bother with lip brushes… I apply all over and then press together!
Also, following you on twitter 🙂
Nika says
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!
Grace vick says
I’m so excited for Christmas!!!
Kate Williamson says
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.
mint says
that’s a beautiful red and i love the packaging!
LC says
Oooh, I love me some red! I definitely rock the dark-hued lipsticks. =)

Cecille G says
Can’t wait for Christmas!!!! Merry Christmas T money and K Dawg
Nadine says
The packaging looks so luxurious!
Nicole says
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.
michelle says
huzzah for lip products
charlie says
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!
Elizabeth says
Straight out of the tube! 😀
Rebecca says

I <3 lipstick, I feel undone without something on my lips

pat says

Hollie says
I love this lipstick, its a gorgeous colour. As for Tron, I loved it, the soundtrack in paticular x
kypris says
Apply lipstick from the tube, and bottom lip first… and lots of blotting! But I am not very good at it yet…
Christy O says
I cannot stop baking. I wish I could somehow make money off of consuming my baklava and brownie cookies at 2am.
Joy says
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).
Tiffany S. says
Oooh gorgeous red and beautiful packaging!
Elaine says
I am wearing glittery red lips to a christmas party tomorrow! check out dustyohunter’s video on youtube for a better idea 🙂
aquamarine565 says
straight from tthe tube- bottom lip first 🙂
Catherine says
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
Iben says
It’s almost Christmas 🙂 🙂
Emily says
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!

Jen@My Funny Valentine says
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
Simona says
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.
meibaola says
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 *_*
Neela says
Straight from the tube. I don’t have a decent lip brush.
Julia says
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.
creamylatte says
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
Stephanie says
I use a lip brush for dark colors. .
Marie says
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!
SDpfeiffy says
I love red lipstick and that packaging is gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Melodi says
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!
Aljona says
I am to lazy to apply lipstick with the brush, however for a red lipstick it’s a must
Mandy says
I just watched Rapunzel in 3D and the floating lanterns scene was just so romantic!
Lauren says
The packaging for that lipstick is to die for!
Sandy says
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.
gio says
That’s a lovely shade and the packaging is stunning!
Bridget Straszheim says
We just moved from Florida to Massachusetts and we just saw snow for the first time this week! It was wonderful!
Kim says
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!
Stephanie! says
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 😉
ShannoninBC says
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 🙂
Ilene says
Happy holidays to everyone!
Elisa says
I just use it straight from the tube
Nina says
last day of work for this week – yay!

Can’t wait for tomorrow night – Company X’Mas Party 🙂
jenn says
Looks like a great color! Happy Holidays!
Beth says
How awesome is this for the holiday season? Would love to see it on my husband’s cheek at New Year’s.
cams says
Im cooking roasted chicken at 9am so I can shop later!!!!
Judy says
Ooooh this colour is so perfect for the holiday season! I think it would match my new red dress XD
Danielle N says
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.
Jackie says
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!
Karen B says
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 🙂
Michou says
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!
Sara says
I would love to try this color! 🙂
Jessica D says
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.
Lily says
Pretty 🙂
Lisa Carbone says
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
Alex P says
I can NEVERR find anything fun to do on the weekend :/
Hetal Patel says
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!
Thian says
It looks gorgeous ~~~

bisbee says
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.
Antithesis says
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.
Heather C. says
I’m a straight outta the tube kinda girl.
Ada says
I apply my lipgloss while I’m waiting for the subway.
Tiffany H. says
I am wearing half lashes for the first time today and I am nervous that they are going to come off!
tiffany says
happy hump day!!!
Sara says
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!!! 😀
Amanda says
I love the packaging, it would look so pretty on my vanity!
Sneha Polisetti says
The packaging is awesomeee
Kelly says
Enter me please!
Elisabeth says
Oh, that is loooooovely.
Nadine says
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!
Glosslizard says
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! 🙂
Stephanie says
I apply straight out of the tube. I have a nice MAC brush, but just don’t use it.
Tuhina says
Pretty! I apply straight out of the tube too… most of the time I don’t have time to apply with a brush!
Mette says
That lipstick is beautiful! (:
And i like to use a lipbrush.
Saddy says
Never tried this brand before. What a luxurious-looking package!
Merry Christmas, fellow beauty addicts!
Jane says
No lipbrush for me..way too time consuming..
Michelle says
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!
mishel says
i go back to work today after 2 weeks of vacation…booooo!
cyra says
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?
Ashley says
Merry Christmas, Karen! I love your blog!
Merluis Galo Souder says
I am obsessed with red lipstick ever since I saw Kate beckinsale in pearl harbor. So classy!
Jenny says
The packaging is phenomenal! I LOVE IT! 😀
Sanna says
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
M Conter says
I last saw the latest Harry Potter in Spanish while abroad! Love the color and your blog!
Melli says
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!
Amel says
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.
Lana says
The packaging on this lipstick is exquisite. I figured it was a $45 lipstick!
Camille says
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!
Barbara says
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
Stephanie says
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. 🙂
Lara says
I think I don’t even own a lipstick brush… does it really make that big a difference when applying it??
Chris25 says
It helps with exact placement, and building up color in layers.
Chris25 says
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.
Anna says
I’m not sure what I like more – the gorgeous packaging or the color itself 🙂
Jenn B. says
I am *obsessed* with colors like this.
Katherine says
Oh, I’ve been drooling over this for awhile. I really want a red lipstick, and this is so gorgeous.
Rachel says
im not a big lipstick fan but i think i might change my mind
Kimber Y. says
I’m such a sucker for packaging…the Barocco collection is beautiful!
Crystal says
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!
Beautiful Canvas says
I am loving Korres’ lip butter lately, it adds color and hydrates my lips during the cold winter
Vik says
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!
courtney says
i want it! never tried clarins but i want to!
Shiny says
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.
Brittany says
I love me some red lipstick STRAIGHT from the tube 😉
Lisa S. says
Straight from the tube, baby!
KDJ says
I like to apply lipstick with a lip brush .I feel like it penetrates the lip better that way.
Cora says
I love the color of this lipstick, and the package is beautiful.
Nailah says
I apply lipstick from the tube usually.But it seems to last longer when I apply with a lipbrush.
Sunny says
I apply straight from the tube. That color is gorgeous!
Vivien Helf says
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
MariaC says
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?
Erica K says
i dont wear lipstick very often, but this is a great color
<3
Cassie says
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!
Emma says
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.
Supriya says
I love putting lipstick on straight from the tube 🙂
Janet says
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!
Newsha says
Perfect red lipstick = My holy grail
Still searching . . .
Deb says
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!
Klara says
The colour looks gorgeous! I’m just wearing the Clarins Rouge Prodige Lipstick in Raspberry Sorbet, which is, surprise, surprise a gorgeous raspberry colour 😀
Lisa says
I never used to wear lipstick, but Urban Decay’s Naked convinced me 🙂
Stacy says
I like to talk to myself at the grocery store.
Sarah says
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.
Samantha says
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!
Shannon says
That is the most gorgeous lipstick I’ve ever seen, color, packaging and all!
Basak says
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.
Ru says
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.
TerriB says
I have writer’s block.
Melissa says
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 🙁
Caroline says
That color is freaking amazing! I love it!!
Altagracia says
Wow! It’s a pity they don’t sell that brand where I live.
Natasha says
I love that color!
Diane K. says
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!
izzie says
I saw tangled with my sister in law. It was awesome, I’m so buying it. It made my inner child squee with glee
Katrina says
Oooh want want want! So pretty
Mel says
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!
Sharee says
after the day i’ve had, i would love this 🙂
Anastasia says
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 🙂

Deretta says
Lovely!
Jasmine says
i’m so excited for christmas! i finally asked for a coastal scents 88 pallette! 🙂
Michelle says
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.
Lena says
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. 😀
Alex says
I’ve just became obsessed with lip brushes

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.

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!~

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!
Amie F says

Always apply from the tube but I always wear a neutral colour that is easily corrected if i make a mistake.
martan says
I love the packaging
Jacqueline says

Isabel says

Merry Christmas to you and the lovely cat.
Inez says
such a pretty lipstick
lizzy says
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.
Ester says

I like to apply lipstick straight from the tube, but it’s a bit hard to control when i need precise lines 😛
Elin says
I’ve been looking for a great red lipstick. This might be it!

Mary Valleau says
Karen, I’m going to see Tron: Legacy 3D tomorrow with my BFF and her husband. XXOO
Bethany says
pretty!
Carrie Meredith says
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.
Christine says
Hey Karen, how’s it going?
Christina says
I love love love the packaging on this and the color looks great too^_^
Lauren says
Awesome color!!!!
ileen says
lipstick makes me very very happy 🙂
Maggie says
I was able to finish all my Christmas shopping today! Yippee!
Maggie says
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.
jophi says
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 !
Ariana says
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.
claudia says
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.
