Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Silky Lipstick: Don’t Keep a Stiff Upper Lip

Lipstick is a bad word in my beauty world. I just DO NOT like the feeling of putting on sticky, waxy goo on my lips. To each her own, but I am a gloss girl all the way. Maybe a stain topped with a gloss if I’m pushing it and really need some color. But there is always an expection to the rule, and that’s where Clé de Peau Beauté‘s Extra Silky enters the picture. This is not like any other lipstick, not even the lightest and glossiest of lipsticks. This is a true blend of gloss and stick; it glides on as smoothly as a gloss, but it has more opaque color for real pigmented coverage. The best part? You would never know by wearing it. The feel is ultra-slick and as the name promises, super-silky.

And it stays that way. With nourishing lip treatment ingredients, it keeps lips smooth and moisturized. There is nothing worse than dried-out lips, coated in lipstick lodged in the cracks and staining the peeling scales (maybe my fear of lipstick stems from seeing too many of such lips). Even the applicator is different from the norm. It’s a slim tube with a slanted tip that you twist up by clicking it, so you don’t get deformed lipstick if you happen to push too hard. The slanted tip gives you quick, perfect application, whether your behind the wheel or walking along. I know you’re waiting for a catch, and here it is: Extra Silky lipstick costs a rather ridiculous $52 per tube, which is shocking, even for the snobbiest of beauty snobs. At Barneys New York for $52.
