Written in Blood: A vibrant, universally flattering deep blood red lipstick made with carmine pigment from the cochineal insect. Carmine has been worn by women for centuries and imparts a stunning red unmatched by other dyes. This is the very first shade we created, and truly the most perfect blood red lipstick we've ever found. This shade is also included in our blood red lipstick trio.
Semi-matte blood red lipstick.
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

I bought the shades Ravenous and Fortune Teller. Both colors are perfect on my skin tone. The formulation is good, too. It goes on easily and is highly pigmented, which is a must for me. The only minus point is the strong lavender scent.

Stiff formula with wonderful colour payoff.
Does not smear or migrate out of my lipline. Does not require a lip liner either.

I like everything about this color
- ABEmberAshley B.ReviewingForbidden Lipstick: Written in BloodI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoLove this color!
This is such a flattering color, it’s beautiful! It’s goes on super smooth and it’s a creamy formula. It lasted all day for me with minimal reapplication. It doesn’t bleed like a lot of other lipsticks I’ve tried.

And while I do love this shade-it somehow comes off kinda orange on my blue/pink/peach skintone, thankfully I have swarm so I can blend to make it look more vampire and flattering to me. I can't wait to pair it with my rose bite lip serum!
