I heard a
trickle of gossip about this launch back in February and to be honest I wasn’t
really sure what to expect but I was pretty excited! Christian Louboutin has launched his very own beauty line with a signature red
polish to match his iconic red soles. Having been a little bit of a shoe
worshiper for a number of years I had very high hopes for the range. When the
first photos of the bottles started popping up on blogs and twitter I felt a
wave of disappointment. I really hoped for something classic, refined and
beautiful but instead the packaging looks like a Gothic torturing device that wouldn't look out of place on a Twilight movie merchandise stand.
What they say: Rouge Louboutin. The tall slender cap, inspired by
calligraphy, turns the application into a luxurious experience, inviting women
to take their time. The custom-designed, patented triangular brush picks up the
right amount of formula, without air bubbles, to deliver flawless,
chip-resistant coverage. A highly pigmented, super glossy formula delivers in
just two coats the effect of 20 layers of traditional lacquer.
What I say: The bottles 8 inch handle was
inspired by the tallest heel Christian Louboutin ever made – I don’t think it is actually possible to walk in
such a shoe!!! So I’m not a fan of the spike, ok, but I do like the look of the
body of the bottle. It has a beautiful red and black ombre effect and I imagine
the glass to be fairly heavy and ultra luxe. Let’s just look at the price for a
second… £36 big ones! Yeah, I know! For something that will probably chip of
your nails in a week!
Currently only the iconic red is available but
later there will be an addition of nudes and pop colours. The collection has
already sold out online, but you will soon be able to get your hands on it from
Christian Louboutin boutiques – shop shoes and nails at the same time!
