Goth-like lips are definitely all the rage in fashion right now, but the million dollar question is, “Will it work off the catwalk, and on the sidewalk?”

Some may think blackberry lips are way too harsh for real-life, but I think they’re très glam. This look is very avant garde in an attainable way; not every girl will be able to pull ‘Lady-is-a-Vamp’ off, but hey - if every beauty trend worked for everyone, the trend would get a bit lame and fall flat, now wouldn’t it?

Get the vampy lippy look with Lancôme’s newest set, Color Fever Lipstick in Piha Red + Color Fever Lip Gloss in Piha Black ($48); it was created by Aaron de Mey, who recently stepped in as International Artistic Director, the post that was previously held by Gucci Westman.

Here’s how to kick up the drama during the day; Just apply a coat or two of the red lipstick, and slick the black gloss over it. Blend until you come up with a hue that gives you a sexy, mysterious look.

Good news: this Lancôme set will be available to purchase in November.

Bad news: There are only 500 sets available, and they’ll only be sold at Bloomingdale’s in New York City, and in one of Lancome’s five boutiques.

More good news: You can add yourself to the waiting list STARTING NOW: 212.705.2886.

Craving chocolate, ladies? Instead of putting it in your mouth, spritz it on your neck, as in the yummy fragrance Blue Agava & Cacao Cologne by Jo Malone. Inspired by the rhythm and vibrancy of Latin music, the citrus top notes of lime and grapefruit deepen into the fresh floral aroma of Blue Agava — the heart of the perfume. The lingering base of cacao, cinnamon, and vetiver provide a warming, comforting musk that never overpowers nor smells too sweet. Even those wary of “food” scents will agree, this fragrance leaves you wanting more instead of smelling good enough to eat.

Available at JoMalone.com. $50.
