Meet my NEW Creation!

Introduction
I am thrilled to introduce my latest launch, just in time for the holiday season: the Rouge Experience refillable lipstick! Although this product took a year longer to arrive than planned, it is finally here, and I couldn't be more excited. Five years ago, I embarked on a mission to create a world-first lipstick, focusing on sustainability and innovative design.
While experimenting with various refillable lipsticks, I noticed a concerning trend: most refills were made from multiple materials, often containing plastics and metals, which rendered them non-recyclable. It felt disingenuous to promote these products as eco-friendly when, in reality, only the cap or lid was truly recyclable. Thus, I was determined to design a refill that is truly innovative and, importantly, 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
In developing the formula to go inside this beautiful packaging, I aimed to create something that is practical for everyday use while also exuding luxury. The result is a lightweight cream texture that bridges the gap between the velvety and shiny finishes. This lipstick provides effortless application, boasting a soft sheen that feels incredibly comfortable on the lips, akin to a balm, yet delivers full coverage.
The design of the case draws inspiration from my extensive vintage lipstick collection. By exploring iconic pieces from my archives, I analyzed various elements that made them memorable, with an eye on sustainability, beauty, and functionality. This blend of vintage aesthetics and modern innovation is what makes the Rouge Experience stand apart.
The Rouge Experience can be purchased in two ways: either as a full set with a refill already included or as individual refills. Each refill is crafted from a single material—aluminum—which is 100% recyclable. The inner workings and mechanism of the refill are designed for easy recycling, eliminating the need for plastics often found in traditional lipsticks.
Let’s delve into the eight stunning shades available in the launch. Each shade is thoughtfully curated to be wearable, with more offerings planned for release in the coming year:
- Simone: A light, tiny caramel shade that's easy to apply and perfect for touch-ups.
- Lisa: A lively neutral pink that enlivens the face and neutralizes any blue tones in lips.
- Ry: A light muted cool heather that embodies modern cool tones.
- Ashes of Roses: An earthy rose with a nuanced blend of warm and cool undertones.
- Michi: A cool mauve berry shade perfect for a casual yet chic look.
- Audrey: Inspired by the remnants of lipstick from Audrey Hepburn's holder, with 25% of profits donated to Audrey's favorite children's charity.
- Ribbon: A classic true velvet red that works for every occasion.
- Bohemian Cherry: A deep cool claret, excellent for making your teeth appear whiter.
The refills can be easily recycled due to their aluminum composition. To ensure proper recycling, simply prepare the refill by placing it in a recyclable container or scrunching it with used aluminum foil to make it larger for recycling facilities.
In an era of fast fashion and rapid consumerism, I am beyond excited to offer a product that is designed for sustainable, everyday use. Whether for yourself or as a gift, the Rouge Experience is something to be cherished for years to come, allowing for mix-and-match shades and a nod to vintage beauty traditions.
