You know how much I love Le Métier de Beauté Lip Crèmes. They are a lip color-lip gloss hybrid in a lip gloss tube. They combine gorgeous color with an extremely hydrating formula that's enormously flattering.
Cebu is stunning! I pulled a repeat on my photo endeavors at work today. The same two women who saw me yesterday stopped me today and were curious about my photography. They were so cute. One of them thought I might be sitting on the grass applying nail polish. When I told them what I was doing, we had a nice chat. They volunteered, without prompting, to be my witnesses that I am not a security risk.
I did get a few swatch photos today. It appears my application was a bit uneven, but you can still see the glorious color pretty well. My photos were taken in full, mid-day sunshine.
Le Métier de Beauté purchase of $125 or more. I can't wait!
If you'd like to see Erin, call Michael Reinhardt at the Mazza store at (202) 966-9700, extension 2258. Call soon. He can "Option 7" Cebu for you if you'd like to have one. If you want to call the Tysons store directly, call Lisa Corsino at (703) 761-1600, extension 3306.

A friend of mine picked up Cebu when she was back East. She's a pale, icy blond with a porcelain complexion and emerald green eyes. When we met for lunch, I asked her where she had gotten her beyond gorgeous lip shade. Being a good gal pal, she naturally told me. So, while waiting for our lunch to arrive, I called and ordered mine! How's that for love at first sight? Cebu was phenomenal on her. It's a clear, clean pop of rose with enough sparkle to bring a full and sexy look to the lips. I can hardly wait to get mine :-)
This looks so lovely but I am really tired of the store-exclusive items from LMbB. I wish they would release this nationally, or at least on the web, because it's a gorgeous shade. The scrambling and phone calls across time zones is just old for me at this point.
Do you happen to know the shade/color of the blush/bronzer? looks like traviata.
Thank you for taking some risks to get us great photos of these beautiful items! Your stories and photos make my day!
Anonymous, it is Traviata. Plus, I hear the liquid is gorgeous with a capital G. I get to see them tomorrow.
LOL, Anonymous, I can see it now...blogger busted for taking photos at government installation. Yeah, it was just makeup, but we're pretty sensitive. Heck, you could fly an airplane over the place and get better photos.
Eileen, good that you ordered one! It's amazing.
Gorg! So beautiful and tempting. I will have to stop by Tyson's this weekend to see it in person. The new lip creme plus the gift with purcahse means a LMdB shopping spree is in my immediate future:)!
I agree, Pretty Addicted. It is a hassle. I wish our friends at LMdB would, as you said, at least make them available online. Then, it wouldn't be an exclusive, though, I guess. We've talked about this issue. I'm not sure there's a clear solution. If you have a NM sales associate (or buy with Dustin at BG), let them do the work for you.
Liz's Closet, you are right about that! I'll be buying my regular loves and put them in stock.
Just called its sold out :(
I would have loved the Cebu Lip Creme, too bad it's already sold out - apparently it has been since the first day it came out! Oh well, what to do? Guess I'll have to pick another one up locally, and at least I'll get to sample it before buying ;)
Thank you for the lovely review though :)
I have never purchased a LMdB beauty product because, not only am I too busy to play these availability games, but this business tactic of theirs turns me off to the entire line.
Rosemary
Yin,
I am blown away by that. I couldn't believe it, so I called the store. Lisa isn't working today, so I asked for someone else I know. Sure enough, it's sold out. I'm checking with the company to see if more will be made.
Anonymous, it was not sold out on its first day. Not sure who said that, but I got it days after it "landed."
I understand, Rosemary. Life is busy, and chasing makeup isn't much fun.
Haha, "chasing" makeup...
Thanks for looking into it. I was shocked! Bc you are always so quick to review lmdb products. I thought I would be fine. Esp upset since I live 2 miles away from the store!! >.< bah!
Isla,
I do it all the time, and it's both fun and tiresome. :)
Yeah, Yin. I totally understand. Was speaking with a local LMdB rep today who is as frustrated as us customers. They aren't receiving enough product.
I know LMdB has a hard time estimating sell-through. I don't think they fully realize how desirable they have become. :)
Girl You Just Get the BEST stuff. OMG
Nancy,
Right now, I'm feeling pretty lucky to have it! To think I wanted a second one. :)
