Nordstrom at Tysons Corner Center had just started to assemble its Vincent Longo display. The brand was new to the store. Despite knowing Vincent Longo from days past, I was anxious to see everything. Instead, I saw a sample of what had arrived.
Vincent Longo's
Lip Stain Lipstick SPF 15 in Cherry ($23) was lonesome in the display - the only shade of the 15 currently offered. It was an obvious choice to play. Once I skin tested it, I realized it was there for a purpose: to entice me.
Here's how Vincent Longo describes Lip Stain Lipstick with SPF 15.
Our award winning Lip Stain SPF 15 Lipstick delicately tints lips with a glossy coat of sheer color.
- Contains aloe vera and vitamin E to soften and nourish lip tissue
- Lightweight, emollient texture clings to lips and won't bleed over the lip line
- SPF 15 protects lips from UV sun exposure
- Creates a soft, clean natural finish
- Hint of a delicate vanilla scent.
- Perfect for women of all ages
Besides all that, it's a really nice lipstick. I took a few swatch photos in full sun to introduce you to Cherry. It's one of those "me" shades that many of you like too.
Cherry is a sheer rose with a subtle shimmer. It's darker in the tube and on my lips than it is on my arm. The pigment in my lips, added to this color, makes it look like a superb fall rose shade, and because it has that sheer saturation, it's wearable by all.
It feels creamy and hydrating - not like a stain at all. I find its title a little misleading; I don't get a stain look or effect from Longo's Lip Stain. No matter, I think it's a beautiful lipstick. Now I'm anxious to see the rest of the display on my next visit. The
Dewdrop Radiant Blush looks downright gorgeous.
If your favorite Nordstrom doesn't stock Vincent Longo in store, you can see the line online. I just made a run through the site and could have spent hundreds. Look out!
