My makeup ladies (as Mr London calls them) on Emakemeup never let me down when it comes to discovering interesting niche brands. A lovely 'viner (the Emakemeup beauty chat forum is called the grapevine) has just posted about a gorgeous new lipcolour line by Ellis Faas, who is a Dutch makeup artist. The line is paraben free, and designed to meld into the lips. The colours are all based on colours that naturally occur in humans, and there are plans for other items for eyes and face eventually.
I'm going to be buying the Creamy Lips in 101 Ellis Red (pictured) - who doesn't want Snow White lips? This colour is based on the colour of blood, and I'm hoping it will give me a look similar to that on the redesigned covers of the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood novels (for those who aren't familiar - it's Twilight with rutting.)
Picture is from the Ellis Faas website, and is of Ellis Red. They ship to the UK at a very reasonable rate.

looks interesting, good how they show the colours on actual lips.
ReplyDeleteHi R
ReplyDeleteI liked that you can see each lipstick on different skintones too, and the ethos behind the brand is interesting. I'll report back when I get the order.

ReplyDeleteHello My Fashion Frenzy
ReplyDeleteDon't these look good? Thanks for visiting and commenting - your blog is a very good read too - I laughed out loud at some of the Project Runway stuff :)
LMAO - Twilight with Rutting - an amazing description of the True Blood books/series - I love it, and I WANT that lippie! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Mizzworthy
ReplyDeleteThere are some amazing looking lipsticks in the line - I will post pictures etc when I get mine. Thanks for the comment :)
Ewww...this one is just too 'bloody' for me - it reminds me of a nosebleed or something....think I may have to opt for something less gory!
ReplyDeleteHello BBB
ReplyDeleteIt's quite uncanny how close to the real colour of blood she's gotten with this. There are more restrained colours in the line, but I have a feeling with the whole Twilight/True Blood phenomena that the Ellis Reds (esp the sheerer ones) will be popular.
Do you know if they'll be stocked anywhere in London too? I'm doing the beauty writing for Tank's new becausemagazine.com and I want to write up this product! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica
ReplyDeleteI think they're being stocked in Liberty now/soon- BritishBeautyBlogger recently posted about the line coming to the UK. There are other products out at Mecca (in Australia) now too - eye, skin and cheek products. It's a really interesting line.
