Wild Rose.
That’s what they call me — the people who know me best — but everyone else just calls me by my given name, Givenchy Gelee D’Interdit Smoothing Gloss Balm Crystal Shine in Acoustic Wild Rose #18.
I’m new here. I actually don’t even start work till the fall. They got me sitting on shelves at this place called Sephora. It’s a contract position — you know, a limited time. I told them I wouldn’t work for a nickel less than $27.50. I said, “That’s my price.” And they agreed.
The job description called for someone who “has a thing for biker bars, bouquets, and playing breakup songs on her guitar at corner coffee shops on open mic night.”
Eh, I needed the work…
I’m a very sheer, shimmery pink, and have pearlescent purple and golden glitter. If I had my druthers, I would have preferred a job looking smooth, shiny and dainty on the lips of ladies who lunch — the bored ones who like a kick of disco glitter to spice up their cucumber sandwiches at afternoon tea.
You think maybe you’d like to show me around? 🙂

August 10th, 2012 at 11:40 amI can’t help that I love this. I want to help it, but I have no willpower. I have to keep reminding myself of how often (not very) I wear my Candide Garden quad that I *had* to have. Which is not very often. I’m going to think about something else now. Like Tabs in the Curiosity photo, which is all kinds of awesome, and this evening’s movie. 🙂
Karen says
August 10th, 2012 at 2:10 pmThat’s a good quad, dude! You need to take that bad boy out and give it some love. Seriously.
BTW, I’m writing the review for the new quad and it’s glitter city!
Kim says
August 13th, 2012 at 9:43 amI know! I really like it a lot. I’m just so crippled by my laziness! 🙂
I just finished reading your glitter quad review and, despite the fallout, I still kind of want it. I’m going to try to hit a Sephora next week and check it out. It’s sad that I’m hoping I hate it in person.
Windie says
August 10th, 2012 at 11:40 amWas “additional makeup worn in this look” part of a short series?
Karen says
August 10th, 2012 at 2:10 pmHi Windie,
Naw, I just didn’t have time to put it in the post. I’ll try to remember to do that going forward. 🙂
Hope you’re having a nice Friday so far!
Windie says
August 10th, 2012 at 3:24 pmSuper! Thanks. Wonderful weekend to you.
Livy says
August 10th, 2012 at 11:43 amDo you know anything about where they’d be released internationally? There’s no sephoras here but I just have to have the eye quad and lip gloss(I’d never call it a balm, I found the one I tried before so drying!)
Karen says
August 10th, 2012 at 2:09 pmHi Livy,
The press info I have refers only to the US date. Let me check and get back to you.
Nina says
August 10th, 2012 at 12:53 pmWell hello thar, Wild Rose! Youre pretty hawt!
Karen says
August 10th, 2012 at 2:02 pmIt’s her glitter. It draws you in!
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
August 10th, 2012 at 1:44 pmI like that from far away, it just lends a light pink flush to your lips–but up close, it’s like a party!! 😛
Karen says
August 10th, 2012 at 2:01 pmTotally! It’s like secret surprise glitter. 🙂
Happy Friday!
Jane says
August 10th, 2012 at 3:19 pmWow, your eyeliner looks SO amazing in this look! I was mesmerized. I have never tried gel eyeliner around the entire eye but I am def going to now.
Lulle says
August 10th, 2012 at 4:34 pmI have a couple Gelée d’Interdit lipglosses and I really like them! I never found their sparkles gritty either, and they attract so much light!
Wild rose is a very nice shade for fall, I might consider getting it 🙂

August 12th, 2012 at 6:50 amyou have to try this lipstick from Guerlain http://bit.ly/OJivkD I think it is better than lip gloss.
