Byredo Lipstick 3g - 274 Red & Blue Loewe before a bed of vanilla

before a bed of vanilla and almond milk settles in — the kind of fragrance that smells like skin rather than perfume

Davidoff's Cool Water Woman is brisk on the skin — grapefruit first

then a woody base of cedar and amber settles in for the long run

almost-edible base note that smells of caramel and old leather

morning and night after cleanser

Byredo Lipstick 3g - 274 Red & Blue Loewe before a bed of vanilla274 Red & Blue is a true red with blue undertones the kind that works on most skin tones because it's not trying to be warm. Cream finish, full opacity in one swipe, sits on the lip without drying or migrating into the fine lines around your mouth. 3g in a brass tube. Good alone or layered under a gloss if you want dimension. Reapplies cleanly over a worn base without the patchy rebuild that happens with some reds.
