| Above: Le Metier de Beaute Hydra Creme Matte Lipstick in Cardinale. |
Le Metier de Beaute released its stellar Hydra Creme Lipstick formula (reviewed
HERE) late last year and the new LE Matte version made its debut mere weeks ago. I have already shared the natural peachy-pink beauty of Amore in a recent video (found
HERE) and now am excited to feature
Cardinale, a bold, velvet red with cool leanings. Unscented, long lasting, endlessly moisturizing (especially for a matte formula!) and exceptionally smooth, wearing Cardinale is a lovely experience.
Kindly scroll on for a pictorial devoted to Cardinale, as well as the Bottom Line…

Bottom Line: I have made no secret of my love of nude, pink and peach lip color; however, once in a while, a bright pop of color is a welcome departure from the status quo. One simply cannot go wrong with the Le Metier de Beaute Hydra Creme Matte formula…however, since the matte shades are limited edition, I suggest that red lip lovers snap up
Cardinale while they still can! Up next…reviews of eye makeup from By Terry, Chanel, Surratt Beauty, my solutions for dry winter skin, some haircare discoveries, my latest Lime Crime acquisition and, of course, a video or two ; )

Oh my goodness, that lip color is beautiful, but your skin is stealing the show! Your skin looks absolutely phenomenal and flawless; may I ask what base makeup you're wearing? Thanks!

I have to totally agree with the first comment, your skin looks phenomenal!
Love the last photo you looks so happy
The colour really suits you, it is beautiful!
I like that it still has that pinkish look to it and yes it does make ones teeth appear whiter.
When do you return to work?
My 2 boys have 2 weeks left of school holidays then it will return to morning madness.
Take care and talk soon

Hello Julie,
Oh my goodness…thank you! I had fun trying out my new birthday camera with this post ; )
This was my first week back to work…getting up early was an undeniable struggle, but I always have fun teaching once I get started. Two more weeks of holiday with your boys…sounds blissful! Enjoy every minute!

I have to echo the above remarks -spill on your foundation as your skin looks the best -this shade is perfect for u-u should wear brights more often 🙂 xx
Hello Makeupremastered!
Thank you ever so much…my skin is the culmination of a bit of rest (for once!) coupled with NUDE ProGenius Oil, Le Metier de Beaute Peau Vierge and my trusty Kanebo Sensai Cellular Performance Cream Foundation…buffed in with a damp Beauty Blender. I will take your advice and try and embrace the brights more often…xoxo!
Have a lovely weekend,
