THE ARCHIVE // LIMITED EDITION

  • The Color: A cool gray, the silvery coat of the hunter; an unexpected neutral
  • First Conjured: 2015, in Feral
  • Inspiration: Wolves in the snow; the silent predator

Wolves in the Snow

A dense fog obscures the frozen landscape, revealing glimpses of the surroundings with each breath of the cold wind. Each slow, cloudy exhale dissipates into the surrounding whiteness. Footfalls on icy pine needles sound nearby with delicate shatters. Heart rate quickens. Muscles tense. Lips pull back to reveal sharp teeth. The predator advances, powdery snow shifting underfoot with each silent step.

A cool gray inspired by the silvery coat of the hunter, Strange Creature is an unexpected neutral. It is a stunning, remarkably wearable natural gray lipstick with a beautiful semi-matte finish, capturing the silent cold of winter.

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 dense, opaque finish that remains deeply comfortable on the lips.

How to Wear

  • For a bold, saturated finish: Apply Strange Creature directly from the bullet, using the edge to sharply define the lip line for a strikingly modern, cool-toned impact.
  • For a diffused, lived-in effect: Pat the silvery gray color onto the lips with your fingertips to soften the edges, creating a moody, unexpectedly neutral tint.

    I'm very sad that this

    I'm very sad that this color is discontinued, as this is the best grey lipstick that I have ever used. It's extremely comfortable to wear, unusual for a grey, it is buildable so that you can add just a little and blend it for a more natural but slightly deadened (in the best way) look or add more for a more dramatic look. It is warm-toned (at least to me) but not so much that it doesn't feel like a true grey. The slight warmth just gives it a bit more depth. A great color and it's a shame it's going. If you want a great grey lipstick, grab this while it's here.

    Lovely lipstick that lasts and is true to color

    Easy to apply, long lasting, doesn’t taste funky or smell weird. Color is as described only wish it was more creamy. I moisturize my lips and this color doesn’t fade however it doesn’t feel very mositurizing.

    Great neutral gray that can be dramatic or put on for lighter neutral shade. I like both but wear daily at work as a neutral mauve shade.

    Lovely and strange

    Strange Creature is a wonderful nude shade with an interesting twist. I really like that it's a lighter grey with a hint of purple instead of the more common gunmetal shade you usually see with grey lipsticks.
