Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Pur Black: Black & Blacker {New Beauty Product - Lips}

YSL-Gloss-Pur-Black.jpgThis fall, the color black is going to migrate from nails and eyes to lips as Lancome (with the Piha set) and now Yves Saint Laurent will launch their house versions of onyx lips.

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.

"From plum to ebony, it dresses lips in an infinite range of shades, depending on how it is applied - feather light or rich and bold. Transparent yet intense, it plays on the depths of black and the pure shine of a sparkle-free formula."

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

Are you ready for a redux of the Theda Bara Vamp look?
