Cryptic: Wilted rose petal.
The Inspiration: A transformation. A constriction. A longing. Petals dry, release, and softly fall, scattering in subtle mystery.
The Color: Cryptic is a wilted rose petal shade, at once bold and softly romantic. While it is a truly wearable color, its composition of extraordinary pigments lends unparalleled complexity.
Forbidden Lipstick: An intensely saturated, rich and luxuriant lipstick carefully crafted to reveal bold, daring color and impart enduring moisture. Forbidden Lipsticks offer beautifully dense pigmentation that is remarkably lightweight on the lips; even the boldest shades feel like a comfortably long-wearing balm.
Finish: Semi-matte
Texture: Crème
Aroma: Naturally floral and herbaceous, with botanical lavender and the honeyed warmth of natural beeswax
Net Wt. 0.06 oz / 1.8 g
Packaging Note: As we thoughtfully transition to new product designs, we never want our beautiful packaging to go to waste. You may receive this product in one of two star-dusted lipstick tubes: our new design with our current logo, or our classic design with our original circle logo. It may also be packaged in a new or original retail carton as we make this change.
