FOTD ft. NEW Vasanti Greece Lipstick

I love Fall beauty collections.  The colours are rich, the textures are soft and the products are uber moisturizing.  Even better than Fall beauty collections are Fall beauty collections from one of your favourite cosmetics brands, wouldn't you agree?  I was anxious to try something from Vasanti's recently launched Mediterranean Fall line.  As soon as I heard they were introducing a new lippy I had to try it (if you regularly read my blog, you know how much I love Vasanti lipsticks!).
 
The timing was perfect because I've been looking for a new shade - something not too bold, bright, or gothic.  Also something not too sheer or nude like my Summer tones.  I wanted something I can wear everyday (or most days) and will bring a little pop to my otherwise neutral and dark Fall wardrobe.

Given my criteria, I'd call Vasanti's lipstick in Greece a fabulous find for the Fall:

After a summer of glosses and lip balms, it's been refreshing to wear Greece.  A neutral plum shade that is a wearable mix between a neutral pink and a plum purple:

It's like a less bright, more toned down (and deeper) version of France, which is a holy grail Summer shade for me.  Greece is just one of those shades you can throw on to a very neutral face to give a spot of glam and character, wouldn't you agree?

NOTE: Eyeshadows are from Cargo's Neutral Cool Essentials Palette - a staple in my makeup drawer!

Greece is a shade that will compliment virtually any skin tone and is safe for even the I-can't-pull-off-anything-with-colour kinda gals.  If you are longing for the confidence to rock a bold lippy this Fall, I'd say this is an excellent transition shade - it will get you used to seeing colour on your lips without being too far off from your natural look.  Once you've spent a little time with Greece, you'll be ready to go for something more bright and bold - I can almost guarantee it!

From the website:
[Greece is a] luxurious lip colour formulated to plump, hydrate and smooth with the latest in peptide technology.  Key Ingredient: Palmitoyl Oligopeptide - helps to increase lip volume, reduce the appearance of fines lines and smooths the lips surface (clinical trials of this peptide show results within 28 days of use).  [This is an] ultra luxe formula loaded with anti-oxidant vitamins and botanicals

Purples, Pinks and Reds are totally in this Fall - so are products that are soft, moisturizing and good for your skin...so I'd say Vasanti hit the mark with this new creation.

Vasanti lipsticks retail for $15CAD and can be found in many Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall locations across Canada.  Our American and British friends can also purchase Vasanti products online at www.vasanticosmetics.com.

  If you live in Toronto and are looking to try the product before buying, you have a great opportunity this weekend.  There will be a Vasanti booth at the National Women's Show running Friday to Sunday.  I'll be working at the booth on Friday evening, 5-9pm, so if you're in the area (Metro Toronto Convention Centre) be sure to stop by :)

So what are your thoughts on Greece?  Have you tried it?  Do you want to try it?  Will you try it? 

Drop me a line - as usual I'd love to hear form you :)
