It's said, Never judge a book by its cover. But with makeup, the "cover" is what causes me to buy the product.
The gorgeous red box along with the crown, gold feathers, and pink lotus flowers really lured me in. I'm such a sucker for the artwork of Pat McGrath Labs exterior packaging.
Pat Mcgrath's Crimson Couture Lip Kit comes with the PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil in Blood Lust (permanent), and the exclusive to the set, limited edition MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson 3.

The main reason I got the lip Kit was for Elson 3, and it's a welcomed addition. Elson 3 has the same creamy, richly pigmented formula as all my other MatteTrance lipsticks. I'm going to save my thoughts on the line for a comprehensive post swatching of all the MatteTrance lipsticks in my collection.
From left to right: Blood Lust PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil, Elson 3 MatteTrance Lipstick.
Blood Lust: a deep, yet vibrant, slightly pink-leaning ruby red.
