Tis' the Season...

...To paint your lips a sinful shade of black, or scarlet, or blue, or purple, or turquoise. Fortunately, Portland homes the premiere, goth-lipstick sorceress. Kim Damio of PDX Black Lipstick Co. has concocted the perfect all-natural lipstick formula in a prism of high-drama shades. My personal favorites are the wicked, dark hues: Undead Red and, of course, Black.

The recipe breaks down to plant-based products: sunflower oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, Candelilla, and Vitamin E. This means no nasty paraffins, parabens or (eeeeek!) triclosan.

Perhaps more than any other product at Backtalk, PDX Black Lipstick Co. attracts a diverse crowd into our space. From hot goth chicks, to Ren Fair enthusiasts, to teen queens, to your mom;  a standard day sees a string of women enter the store and beeline for the lipstick shelf.

This makes sense because it looks great and, hell, it feels like chapstick! We have used it in most, if not all, of our press shots and events. Check out these kissers:

Clearly, it doesn't have to be Halloween to don some lusty lips. But in honor of Hallow's Eve we want to say: we LOVE you PDX Black Lipstick Co. <3
