I cannot get enough, and luckily there is a unique range of hues that I will be sure to get more of. Also, similar to <a title=\"Smashbox lipstick review\" href=\"http:\/\/thelipsticksite.com\/?p=66\" target=\"_blank\">Smashbox <\/a>lipstick, the colors mix well with one another, allowing the beauty\u00a0connoisseur to create exciting new hues all her own.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is the lipstick super high quality, but the collection is all about Goddesses, which <em>I<\/em> am all about. The boxes that the lipstick comes in say, &#8220;Born to Be Worshipped&#8221; on the back, can you believe it? And each DeVine Goddess Lipstick is named after a different mythological Goddess.The theme has me, just as much as the actual lipstick does.<\/p>\n<p>The tubes that the colors come in are definitely unique; they kind of have a glassy, art deco feel. They don&#8217;t fit in my lipstick organizer, which I always find a bit upsetting. But these lipsticks are so delectable that I suppose they deserve places all their own on my boudoir table. Because the cases are unconventional, I suggest being extra careful when twisting the lipstick up and applying. I broke my <em>Calypso<\/em> almost immediately, by twisting it too far up and pressing too hard on my lips. Guess I was excited. I also recommend blotting once or twice, after application, in order to avoid getting lipstick prints all over everything. Unless you are into that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured below from left to right, we have <em>Aphrodite<\/em>, <em>Xenia<\/em>, and <em>Calypso<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_390\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thelipsticksite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/np1.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-390\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-390\" alt=\"napoleon perdis lipstick review\" src=\"http:\/\/thelipsticksite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/np1-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thelipsticksite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/np1-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/thelipsticksite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/np1-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/thelipsticksite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/np1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">napoleon perdis devine goddess lipstick<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I love each of these colors, both in and of themselves, as well as with my complexion. I have had <em>Aphrodite<\/em> the longest, and it is definitely one of my all-time favorite reds. I would call it a deep, true red. Really rich pigment, and a kind of femme fatale vibe. I just recently received <em>Xenia, <\/em>which I foresee quickly becoming one of my most-worn colors. It is what I&#8217;d call a berry red; red with just a hint of magenta. It would look good on anyone who looks good with berry-colored lips; really pretty, flirty, and sexy. At first glance, it appeared to be too similar to <em>Aphrodite<\/em>, but the hues are actually quite different. <em>Calypso <\/em>is a deep pink, with a definite hint of magenta. If it were any lighter, it might not look good on me, but the hue is deep enough that it works really well.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some more photos, including swatches.
