Smackdown: $45 For A Tube Of Lipstick? Now There's Something To Pout About!

We've heard the colors are absolutely gorgeous and that the case they come in is simply divine, but could a lipstick really be worth an extravagant $45.00? Apparently so. Designer Tom Ford has created a collection of 12 Private Blend Lip Colors that range in hue from the barest nude to the blackest berry. Yes, they are formulated with rare and exotic ingredients including soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter (known for its powerful emollient qualities) and chamomile flower oil. And, they are touted to be richly pigmented, luminous, ultra-creamy, incredibly smooth and long-wearing. But could any lipstick truly be worth the pucker-up price of forty-five precious dollars a tube? Sisters Of The Gloss, that's for you to decide.

Here's an opinion from Kelly Cutrone, founder of the public relations, branding and marketing company, People's Revolution:

You know where nice people end up? On welfare.

Well Kell, with bravado like that, you can wear any shade you so desire.
