It Took Me Weeks to Find the Perfect Bridal Lipstick — but This Is It

Christian Louboutin lipstick is the pinnacle of luxury. The product comes in its own protective case, you get a little fabric slip to keep it in (like sunglasses), and the packaging itself looks like it's a weapon to protect you against vampires or night stalkers. You can even attach it to your keychain next to your pepper spray!

The color is gorgeous, and it's tremendously satisfying to smooth over your lips. (In my case, it even took to my dry, chapped lips.) Though the creamy formula feels great on, it wore away relatively quickly. By lunch, most of it was on my can of La Croix. Still, if you're looking to splurge on a special-occasion lipstick, this is the one.
