Rouge Interdit, Gloss Interdit and Vernis Please!

Vintage Tales: Givenchy Holiday 2010 Collection

Each year seems to be the holiday and renaissance of the bold, red lip (remember Estee Lauder’s red lippie collection from 2009?). This year is no different for the folks at Givenchy. The Vernis Please! comes in three different varieties including a dark blood color (any True Blood fans out here?) and are perfect for both Hallowe’en and Christmas. The shades are vintage carmine, ruby and garnet. Available at Sephora.com and Givenchybeauty.com.

So, what do you think about the Givenchy Holiday Collection? Does it remind you of Vintage Hollywood with the sparkle, red lips and glamour?
