Lancôme French Coquettes

I picked up a couple of demo shifts for Lancome this past week, and finally played around with the new French Coquettes fall collection. It's actually a really nice collection, and I think I would've bought more from it if the prices weren't so high. ($47 for a pot of eyeshadow pigment? $16 for a tiny vial of nail polish? No, thanks.)

I did, however, pick up the new limited edition French Touch Cult Rouge Silky Cream Lipstick in 304 Cherry Sarah. It's a medium cherry plum shade that can go from subtle to dramatic depending on how the number of applications. I like that it leaves a nice plum stain after a couple hours of wear, and it never screams "vampy!" The formula goes on smooth and it feels really nice on the lips; creamy and moisturizing, but not slippery. The packaging is small, but you get the same amount of product as in a regular Lancome lipstick. I personally love the packaging; it's in a silver metal tube with an Eiffel Tower/fishnet stocking-esque pattern etched on it, and the Lancome rose logo imprinted on the end. They're $40 each, which is actually more expensive than Lancome's L'Absolu Rouge lipsticks (that were already expensive to begin with at $35 a pop), but such is the nature of limited edition products.

Other recent purchases also include: a pair of UGG Evera oxford sneakers in black suede, two pairs of Gap Legging Jeans in a faded grey wash and dark wash, several Calvin Klein bras, and a shit ton of television DVDs from Amazon.ca:
