Pat McGrath curates kits so that you can try the brand out. I love the kits which can be an editorial eye kit, a more involved specific PM look, or a kit that allows you test out lip products. The Pat McGrath Forbidden Love & Lust Duo is a such kit that includes two different lip products. The first , Matte Trance Lipstick, is in a mini size. If you aren’t familiar with the Matte Trance Lipstick, you are in for a real treat! The second product, a newer product that I haven’t tried, is the PM Lust Gloss!
You can find the PM Forbidden Love & Lust Duo Kit on the Pat McGrath Website. Also the kit : Lust Gloss (0.25 fl. oz. / 7.5mL) and MatteTrancee Lipstick (0.35 oz./ 1g) costs $29
Pat goes the extra with the packaging for her kits! Her packaging is in the style of luxury that PM is known for. The packaging, so much fun, makes me smile. The kit comes packaged in a metallic foil pouch with a clear plastic front. The pouch is a peachy-pink metallic, that color shifts when light hits it! You can see through to the products. Also, inside floating around with the products are sequins, in peachy-pink, that sparkle and shine, and when the light hits the sequins, they pick up all different colors.
Inside are the two lip products. The The Matte Trance Lipstick MIni comes in a mini-sized powder pink square case with the PM hieroglyphics, in gold, on the front of the case. The hieroglyphics translate reads Pat McGrath, London, Great Britain, Lips.
And, the Lust Gloss comes packaged in Pat’s limited edition guilty heart, a heart shaped pink vial. On the top of the heart, on one side is a gold cap, incorporated into the heart. The lid , unscrewed, becomes a doe-foot applicator.
Both products are so adorable and tiny, you can fit it them your pocket, a clutch, or just take one or both of them with you! Anywhere! They are travel-worthy-perfect.
Mini MatteTrance Lipstick in Shade Beautiful Stranger
The formula is easy to apply, weightless,and comfortable to wear. The formula includes intense pigments for good color impact. Evenmore, Pat uses the highest quality pigments in her lipstick formula. The best feature of the Matte Trance Lipstick Formula is it does not dry your lips out! The creamy matte lipstick keeps your lips feeling hydrated. And, the lipstick has staying powder. One really good tip from Mother herself, is to prep your lips before you apply the lipstick! To prep your lips, smooth your lips with an exfoliant. Then dab on a touch of concealer, to neutralise natural lip color, and create the perfect canvas.
Beautiful Stranger, a coral-rose shade, has a creamy matte finish.
