#FancyLadyThings: Christian Louboutin Goldissima Gloss

November 8th, 2017 by Karen 10 Comments

Christian Louboutin Goldissima

In #FancyLadyThings Land, it’s perfectly acceptable for you — in fact, you’re encouraged — to carry a sheer $85 nude peachy golden gloss in your Goyard Bag.

Christian Louboutin’s limited edition six-piece Metalinudes Loubilaque Lip Lacquer in Goldissima came out with a six-piece shimmery metallic collection last summer that included three $85 Lip Lacquers (also known as “glosses”) and three $50 nail polishes. Even though Goldissima was a summer launch, it’s wearable all year long, ESPECIALLY if you’re heading to Bali for the holidays this year. So YAY FOR THAT. 🙂

Oh, it’s also still available at counters and online.

Oh, hai!

Every #FancyLady needs at least one luxe lip gloss in her collection, and while a nude $85 golden peachy pink gloss would be cray-cray in the regular word, in #FancyLadyThings Land, this one is pretty fabulous.

It’s comfy, non-sticky and moisturizing, and there isn’t any grit whatsoever in the golden pearl, which is so key at any budget, right?

Even though Goldissima doesn’t feel sticky, the formula is on the thicker side. I’d say it’s even thicker than a MAC Lipglass. It stays practically glued to your lips. I get about three hours if I’m wearing it on its own or four hours on top of a lip liner.

Goldissima!

The gloss is indubitably high quality, but you’re clearly also paying for the name — Christian Louboutin, maker of those famously expensive red-soled shoes — and the fancy packaging. Louboutin “presents” Goldissima in a huge black box stamped with the logo and lined in velvet on the inside, and the gloss tube is covered in a pattern reminiscent of mermaid scales…

Even the box is fancy

Details, details

The golden cap looks like found treasure from the Art Deco era, and I half expected it to have the heft of real metal, but alas…it’s plastic. On the top of the cap, there’s also a loop through which you can thread the sheer golden ribbon that comes with the gloss, which I’m presuming makes it that much easier to hang from the rearview mirror of the white Lambo you just bought for your budding sports car collection. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Whenever I see a Louboutin cosmetic item, I think “such an elegant weapon!” They’re all so spiky. Can’t justify the price tag for a gloss but glad to hear the quality is there. It looks great on you 🙂

      Hi Eleni,

      It’s crazy expensive but so beautiful to look at. I hope you’re having a nice week so far! I’m so glad tomorrow is Thursday; I need the weekend to get here ASAP.

    The top is plastic? Is that even allowed in #FancyLadyLand?

    Oh, you just made me laugh with the lambo comment. I was wondering about the ribbon and hoping that Fancy Ladies didn’t wear their “mermaid scale” gloss as necklaces. 🙂 I am seriously surprised that the cap is plastic, though. Obviously very spendy, but the gloss color is really pretty.

    Sometime I *pretend* I live in #FancyLadyLand when I image ownership of one of these beauties. Then I wake up from that dream!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
