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.

    Surprising power shade

    I get the same feel wearing this as I do wearing a red lip. On my light, cool/neutral skin, it gives me the same “don’t mess with me” vibe as I get wearing other strong bold shades. It’s not going to be for everyone, but if you like the comfy RdF lip formula, this is worth taking for a spin.

    pretty but not my favorite

    I wanted this to be a bit more green but it is quite dark and if you try to wear it lightly is a bit streaky. Still a lovely shade and formula just not quite what I was expecting.

    Gorgeous and unique

    I was surprised by how wearable I found this color! It is a gorgeous, shimmery green, but the glitter isn't thick or chunky, and the green isn't garish. It's kind of a subtle shine green. I'm planning to wear this as an everyday lip!

    Lovely green lipstick!

    While I love the color of this lipstick I had to dock one star because it's a lot more dry than the other forbidden lipsticks I've tried and it can make application patchy.

    Obsessed

    This shade goes so hard, I love it so much. The texture is super comfortable, it’s easy to apply and has great payoff, and I love how lightweight the packaging is.

    What's better than dark green lipstick?

    Nothing. I've been looking for dark green lipstick for awhile. Then, lo and behold, Rituel de Fille made it happen. I have pale greyish olive skin and this color gives urban bog witch on me. 100/10.
