Portland Black Lipstick Co

Dear Beloved Customers,

We have just discovered that one of our pigment suppliers is recalling the mica we use to make Black Lagoon because it is colored with a pigment that is FDA approved for use in eyeshadow, but not lipstick.  For this reason, we are temporarily halting the sale of Black Lagoon dark green lipstick and are recalling those that have already been purchased.  If you love the color as much as we do, don’t worry–we will soon re-release Black Lagoon with an alternate, FDA approved, green mica.

If you purchased a Black Lagoon before April 16, 2010, please contact us.  We will happily refund your money (with the lipstick itself as proof of purchase) or replace the lipstick with a new one and give you a free gift for your inconvenience.

All the best,

The Company

After a very long Winter, the Portland Black Lipstick Company is proud to present Insectoid Spring, a soft but vital green with a hint of gold specially formulated to compliment this year’s exoskeletons.

Learn to protect your skin from the Winter weather in a free cold cream workshop.  This is one of many amusements arranged by Poetcetera! (and the Show and Tell Gallery) for the betterment of all human kind.  Join us at the Bamboo Grove, 134 SE Taylor, from 1-3 PM, November 21st.

We are very pleased to announce that our lipsticks and natural glitters are for sale at Mystique, that beautiful store in the Pioneer Place Mall.  Be amazed at their selection of hand made masks, traditional glass-beaded flowers and other one-of-a-kind creations. 

We had a most excellent time vending at the PDX Hallowe’en Bazaar.  The performers and crafters were great, the hearses were elegant, and skull-bowling became my new favorite sport.   

Dot designed our new sign just in time for the bazaar…

…and Meghan made these great decorations. 

There was a Day of the Dead altar in the middle of the event space.  We miss you, Shaun!!!
