The place to be if you love lipstick and fun!

A friend and I went to the Lip Lab in Toronto in honour of her birthday. I booked about a week in advance online, easy peasy. We arrived about half an hour early and were seated right away. Our artist, Dylan, was absolutely wonderful! We interacted with several staff throughout our visit - which lasted about an hour. From what I could see, all of the artists were having a lovely time, and demonstrated great artistic skill.

Both my friend and I are already BITE Beauty fans, so we had an idea of what we were looking to create, although I ended up throwing my original plan away and going with something else entirely because this gorgeous purple caught my eye, and Dylan was happy to go with it!

I highly recommend you book an appointment in advance, and that you have some sort of plan - even if you end up changing your mind halfway through the appointment! Don't be afraid to ask questions, and let your artist recommend colours for you to try. And have fun! This is fun! Some of the other ladies visiting the lab didn't look like they were too thrilled...perhaps that's why we had so many of the artists dropped by our end of the bar to say hello, we were having a blast!

My friend and I did the 2 custom lipsticks each, and both felt it was well worth the money. We got to try a few colours - no, actually I tried on exactly 2 because Dylan nailed both lipstick colours for me on the first try, and my friend tried 2 or 3. Seriously, the man has The Eye. Then choose the finish, and scent. I got an Amuse Bouche finish and a gloss finish. I'll be seriously considering the Bespoke experience next time. And yes, there will be a next time! It's been a couple of months and I'm still completely in love with my final products.
