I’ve had the luxury of trying out A La Carte Beauty Cosmetics around two years ago. I am fussy when it comes to what lipstick colors I like, as well as the finish and wearability. I was lucky they had a lustre shade in Cinnabar, it fit me PERFECTLY as if it was made specially for me!
I love how you go for such bright shades, as they suit you beautifully, and one should never shy away from these gorgeous colors, especially when the weather becomes warmer. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with many of us online 🙂

Yes someone else mentioned The Face Place – I’m sure that there’s an excellent catalogue of greens at Cosmetics A La Carte 🙂

A little off topic but I had my first ever makeup lesson at Joan Price’s Face Place! It was in Walton Street then. And some of the things I was taught that day still hold good. Hadn’t thought about it for ages but it was a seminal moment .
They recommended green for my eyes which actually suits me and you hardly see atm – so maybe i should go to Cosmetics a la Carte…

In reply to Debbie. I've got both shade matches coming up today or tomorrow so it will become clear. Wow, I actually haven't looked at Armani for so long I didn't even realise they had gone. It's a bespoke of Gucci Rene Pink.

Face Place definitely rings a bell! I didn’t go though – and oh, the General Trading Company – I worked on a parenting magazine at the time and I was forever in there taking ‘inspo’ from their immaculate wooden toys 🙂

More years ago than I care to remember (probably 25+ ) I travelled down to London for a session with Joan Price are her Face Place – does that ring any bells? – I think it was on the same street as Cosmetics a la Carte is now situated, but that was in the days when General Trading Company was still on the corner and it was considerably less gentrified (definitely more “old money”) than it is now. Super that you had such a good experience.

Love the colour in the top picture on you- where you are holding the brush in your hand – is that the Beaming Pink? Or the bespoke?

My favourite “lost lipstick” is the original Armani Rouge Ecstasy- which is discontinued in all colours – but I particularly loved 510 Dolci- which is very similar to what you are wearing in that photo. They are amazing for not bleeding, lasting for ages, and don’t dry lips out.

Not sure why Armani decided to stop making them…..I managed to get a couple on a brilliant site called Hogies which still has a few colours left …..
