It's a priori a daring move, I daresay, but black is stylish, so it seems there is potential for it to translate into something as perfectly acceptable as a little black dress (worn on your lips, mind you). YSL now proposes their own limited-edition tube called Gloss Pur Black.

You can pre-order it now for $ 28 and it will ship out around 9/19/2008
