This line of Christian Louboutin lipstick was inspired by the iconic shoe designer's classic red color that appears on the sole on its shoes. The high-end lipstick line will contain 38 shades and tones that range from deep red to pale pink.
The luxurious brand is known for creating lavish female high-heel shoes that are sold for about $600, but this lipstick line will only retail for $50. In addition to being a beautiful cosmetic, each tube of lipstick doubles as a fashion accessory that can be worn as a necklace. This saves space in women's purses and ensures touch-ups can happen at any time.
The beautiful tubes are shaped like elegantly feminine bullets that are able to become necklaces with a lace-like chain. This Christian Louboutin lipstick line is set to hit shelves in September, 2015.
