Beauty News: 3 Custom Color Teams Up With Showtime's Hit Series The L Word...

If you are a fan of the series The L Word then you know that this is the last season...(booooo).  I just heard that 3 Custom color has partnered with them to launch a line of lipsticks (sure to become collectors items now that the show is going off the air).  Put Shane, Kit, Bette or Alice on your lips with these pretty sheer but buildable formulas.

Three Custom Color Specialists is proud to announce their partnership with the SHOWTIME® original groundbreaking series, THE L WORD. A new collection of lipsticks ($20.00 each) inspired by THE L WORD's most popular, sexy, iconic characters -- "Bette," "Kit," "Alice" and "Shane” -- will be available online at www.threecustom.com and through THE L WORD shop at www.sho.com beginning on January 18th, at 8:59 PM preceding the premiere of the show’s sixth and final season. Be the first to have them! Place your pre-order now, and your lipsticks will be shipped on January 18th.

The four shades were created in Three Custom Color's award-winning sheer lipstick formula – highly moisturizing, with sheer and buildable coverage to flatter a wide range of skin tones.

Stay Pretty!!

Get This: 3 Custom Color's Watercolor For Cheeks...

Okay have you ever just wanted a little wash of color on the cheeks??  Just a little bit...I am talking sunkissed, but whatever you use gives you too much or too little.  I have found the perfect antidote in the form of a sheer balm that washes over your cheeks (and lips too!) and gives you just the right amount of color. 

3 Custom Color out of NYC has a small compact mirrored pot called Watercolours For Cheeks, I have been rocking it for the past few days with great results.  The shade I am wearing is called Scarlett Peony which looks extremely bright red in the pot but comes off as a sheer warm reddish brown (love that!)  There are 5 shades all together and you must remember that they are SHEER when you are choosing.  As I mentioned earlier, these can also be used for a nice sheer "just bitten" look on the lips.....a multi-tasker FAB we love that!

For application, start in the middle of your cheeks and blend up and out, another trick is that it is somewhat buildable but the look will always be sheer like a watercolor painting....brilliant honey.

Blush Pretty!!
