THE ARCHIVE // LIMITED EDITION

  • The Color: A mysterious, smoky green with an alluring sheen and muted shimmer
  • First Conjured: 2015, in Fleur Sauvage
  • Inspiration: Lush overgrowth, the deadly allure of carnivorous plants, and the strange chromatic language whispered between flowers and pollinators

Mysterious Smoky Forest Green

Inspired by lush overgrowth, the deadly allure of carnivorous plants, and the strange chromatic language whispered between flowers and pollinators, Chrysalis captures the depths of a dark forest. It is a mysterious, deeply verdant, smoky green lipstick with an alluring metallic matte sheen and muted shimmer. This lush shade evokes shifting butterfly wings, iridescent beetle shells, glistening moss, and glimmering night waters.

The Forbidden Lipstick Formula

An intensely saturated, rich and luxuriant lipstick carefully crafted to reveal bold, daring color and impart enduring moisture. This formulation offers a beautifully rich, opaque finish that remains deeply comfortable on the lips.

How to Wear

  • For a bold, saturated finish: Apply Chrysalis directly from the bullet, using the edge to sharply define the lip line for maximum impact.
  • For a diffused, earthy effect: Pat the color onto the lips with your fingertips to soften the edges, creating a moody, muted wash of smoky, verdant green.

    aka gothhippie

    Probably the most unique lip shade I’ve ever come across, so I had to add it to my collection. I’m pretty warm-toned and have thin lips, so I thought there was a chance it wouldn’t be a very complementary shade for me, but would be one that I’d keep on hand just for fun. But it actually looks lovely and the shimmer keeps it from minimizing my lips too much like really dark shades tend to. I also was surprised that its greenness doesn’t make my teeth look yellow.

    It’s my plant-nerd green witch, channel faeries go-to. I’m excited to play with it for eye makeup too.

    never disappointed

    Great color, love this as a shadow. Working up the nerve to wear this on the lip! Stunning color, though.

    Chrysalis - Stunning

    Not going to lie, I did buy this purely to use this as an eye color. I love a cream eyeshadow and this is a stunning green. It applies beautifully and I'm so in love with the color. I'm hoping to one day wear it as a lipstick too!

    Chrysalis

    I love Chrysalis! It is an unexpected shade. Dark green with subtle gold sheen. Thus lipstick will definitely make a statement! It is also amazing as a cream eyeshadow. Won't crease. Try it topped with Serpens eye soot. Gorgeous!

    Chrysalis - a unique and versatile shade

    I'll admit, I debated over this color for a while, but I bit the bullet when I saw how RDF used it as an eyeshadow. And I have no regrets, its such a beautiful shade. I'm planning to use it as a lipstick as well.

    Wonderful

    These are very expensive but i can definitely understand with the unique quality and magical feel the products give. I love the eye soot as a highlught and it is very powerful shimmer. The lipstick in Chrysalis is a shade i have never seen from an all natural make-up company. I am impressed!
