Marchesa for Le Metier de Beaute L'EMBRASSE/LE PASSION Double Entendre Lip Gloss Swatches and Review

Let's be honest, Le Metier de Beaute has the best designer collaborations.  Recently we've seen them work with Oscar de la Renta, but back in 2010 they had a major thing going with Marchesa. 

For Fall 2010 Le Metier de Beaute and Marchesa teamed up to launch a knock your socks off collection which included 4 Lip Gloss Duos.  Today, I have one of those duos to share with you - L'Embrasse/Le Passion Double Entendre Lip Gloss.

L'Embrasse/Le Passion Double Entendre Lip Gloss (A unity between a bittersweet chocolate and blushing bronze) is a pair of 2 beautifuly different yet complimenting shades of gloss.  From what I can gather from online search, I believe the pink side is Le Passion, and the bronze side is L'Embrasse.  I will update this post if I can figure it out for sure.  While small (net wt 0.21fl. oz.), this gloss duo is perfect to slip in your clutch or pocket for quick, on-the-go touch ups.  The formula is non-stick, glossy, and sizzling!

Best Things in Beauty also has swatches of this same lip duo, as well as pictures from the website of the other 3 duos.

Retail on the Le Metier de Beaute Double Entendre Lip Gloss is/was $38.  Check out Temptalia for official information on the  Marchesa for Le Metier de Beaute Collection for Fall 2010. 

This product doesn't seem to be available online anymore, but I did purchase mine rather recently during the Neiman Marcus Beauty Event 2011.  It was gone from the site then had popped back on so I happily dove on it.  The price point is rather high, especially for so little product, but I find myself disappointed that I couldn't get my hands on the rest of these lip duos.  I would have REALLY liked that Sheer Illuminator Pen too =(

FYI there is currently (as of this post) a beauty offer on the Neiman Marcus website for Le Metier de Beaute.  If you purchase $250 in LMdB products (very easy to do, especially with their new skincare line!) you get a free Artemis Indelible Ink Eye Liner (which is freaking amazing) and Aphrodite Automatic Slim Liner.
