Re: All Black Collection Later This Year?!
I can imagine this collection as one that brings together the "best of" black-coloured products from the regular and pro lines plus a few LE gems. Whilst the majority of the buying public may not jump all over an all black look, I am sure the idea behind the collection will be to find which certain black products work for you, i.e. Blacktrack fluidline, chromaline, paintstick, etc.
As far as black glosses, they are more versatile than some would think. I have YSL's Gloss Pur in 'Black' and Lancome's Colour Fever Gloss in 'Piha Black' and they are fun to mix and match with other colours. They are great for deepening the drama of a red or berry lipsticks when layered over them.
YSL's Gloss Pur 'Black' is a very opaque, brown-based black lacquer with zero frost, whilst Lancome's 'Piha Black' is a med-opacity gloss that has a good amount of shimmer. 'Piha Black' is similar to MAC's DCd Tux de Lux, but Piha is more opaque and shimmery. Here's 'Piha Black':
If you want to take baby steps, the sheerest black/grey shade I have seen is Kat von D's gloss in Gunshine. It was too sheer for my liking, but I know we all have dif tastes.
All that said, I think that black women can really rock full-on black lip colours. I think it looks sooo sharp.
I can't wait to see the LE goodies that come out with this line. I will keep my ear to the ground for you.
