Will Rob Pattinson like 'Twilight'-inspired black lip gloss?
Just in time for the "Twilight" vampire mania, and for fall, top cosmetic companies are introducing goth black lip gloss.
Lancome's dark gloss is due out in November, which is also when "Twilight" opens. Their gloss is called Piha Black, meant to be worn over their cherry red Piha Red. The set is already on preorder at lancome.com or exclusively at Bloomies.
And now Yves St. Laurent's also coming out with a black lip gloss called Pur Black. However, it's already marked out of stock on the YSL website.
Have "Twilight" legions of fans already snatched up this stuff?
Edward Cullen would totally approve. So would Bella Swan.
What's next? How about "Twilight"-inspired foundation to give you that deathly pale undead skin? Perhaps eye cream for those seductive dark circles? Maybe contact lenses that can turn your eyes from gold to hungry-and-hunting black?
Some would say it's just a coincidence that so many deep forest hues are in vogue for fall fashion, including moss green, dark brown, aged rust and ominous black. No, there are darker forces at work here.
Trust me, the "Twilight" fashion and beauty craze has only just begun. Click here for the official movie site to see why ...
For all you Robert Pattinson fans, click on Read Full Story below to see the "Twilight" actor, who also played Cedric Diggory in a couple of the "Harry Potter" movies, at the "Harry Potter" photo call a few years ago. This was way before Rob even dreamed of becoming the hot, sexy, undead Edward Cullen.


I won't buy it but I'm sure other fellow Twilight fans will like it.
Lol this is too funny.
Good picture of Robert Pattinson,though.

Thank you for that gratuitous shot of Rob. Now why dont you do a photoshoot with him.
Posted by: alison | August 26, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Well I'd be happy to try the lipgloss and see if Rob likes it. If you can arrange the date I'm there. I dont think you'd be short of volunteers

Just read this site :-
http://themovie-fanatic.com/
to see the huge level of support Rob Pattinson has.
He has the charisam of an old movie star like Brando and James Dean. So yeah I can see girls wanting to get the vamp look.

Awesome :D. I'd LOVE gold and even black contacts, and pale skin. The lip gloss, I'm a little iffy on.. But I'm sure it would still be reallly cool.
Posted by: Chloe Cullen | August 26, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Well, if Rob approves, then why the heck not? xDD
Not gonna lie, black lipgloss is not my thing.
But Rob is. :)
Posted by: Natasha | August 26, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Rob can smear lip gloss all over me any time. I agree a photoshoot of Rob in Edwardian inspired Vampiric clothes would be good. Just drape him in a cape with little else and we'd be very happy.

This is comical. I feel bad for this guy.
Posted by: courtney | August 26, 2008 at 03:53 PM
There is something similiar to that lip gloss ,but not so dark. Twilight Lips has a lip butter that goes on clear, and is cold just like Edwards lips.
Posted by: Sadie | August 26, 2008 at 08:38 PM
I would buy any lip gloss Rob Pattinson likes. That's a given.
Posted by: Tal | August 26, 2008 at 10:10 PM
what's the relation between black lipgloss and Twilight? When did vampires start wearing black lipgloss?
I think I'm missing something here LOL!
Posted by: Mel | August 27, 2008 at 05:03 AM
I WOULD SO BUY IT !!!!
Posted by: TwilightFan | August 27, 2008 at 07:47 AM
eww. i'm pretty sure rob will steer clear of the fanatics with this stuff >.<
Posted by: chrissy | August 27, 2008 at 03:01 PM
Black lip gloss? ehhh
I would never buy such a thing...buutttt if its twilight-related, it's mine!
Posted by: Caleigh | August 27, 2008 at 10:47 PM
I would so buy it and the foundation anything Twilight or Rob's or Kris' I would so buy they are incredible.
Posted by: Katie Franco | August 27, 2008 at 10:55 PM
how is black lip gloss related to twilight?
did edward have a period of being goth over the last hundred and seven years?
i would buy the pale foundation though.
Posted by: Laura | August 28, 2008 at 08:17 AM
Umm, since when did black lip gloss have anything to do with Twilight? And would Edward or Bella ever wear it? No! This article is making connections that don't even exist. Just because the Twilight series is about vampires doesn't mean it's gothic.
Posted by: Amy | August 28, 2008 at 08:20 AM
I'm sorry, but this article is ridiculous. You cant assume that Twilight is goth just because its about vampires. Black lipgloss, Edward would not approve.
Posted by: jes | August 28, 2008 at 09:35 AM
um yea. no. twilight es not goth. on the contrary, it is the opposite. hah, SM must be kind of ticked.
Posted by: breezybeezie | August 28, 2008 at 10:12 AM
I'm not sure that black lip gloss is what Twilight fans are about. I've been to three of Stepenie Meyer's signings (700-1800 people at each) and never saw anyone dressed remotely goth. You're more apt to find prom attire or delightful Twilight themed T-shirts. By the way, great picture of Robert
Posted by: HS | August 28, 2008 at 10:19 AM
No, I don't think that the sudden black lip gloss releases have anything to do with Twilight. Twilight may feature vampires, but that Twilight became unique in the fact that Stephenie DIDN'T portray her vampires in the cliche Gothic fashion!
Posted by: Sarah | August 28, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Just because its black and comes out in November does not mean it's Twilight inspired. And Twilight is not a gothic book, nor does it have many gothic themes (if any). The author of this article is making connections and assumptions that aren't true. And Edward and Bella would definitely not wear this. They don't wear make-up. Edward, especially.
Posted by: Nicole | August 28, 2008 at 11:48 AM
May I please ask what Twilight has to do with goth, let alone black lipstick? And 'Edward and Bella would approve'? No, they wouldn't at all, actually.
Twilight is not by any means gothic. There probably are gothic people who like it, but you could never say that it inspires such a thing as black lipstick.
Please know what you're writing about instead of trying to make a shameless pop culture reference.
Posted by: Caitlin | August 28, 2008 at 12:19 PM
Err...just because the books are about vampires, doesn't mean it has to be related to goth-like things. Stereotyping is way overrated, man.
Posted by: aunie | August 28, 2008 at 12:39 PM
um yeah Edward Cullen would not approve. at all.
what on earth does black lip gloss have to do with Twilight? absolutely nothing. the books aren't goth. i dont know why so many people seem to think they are. get your facts straight.
Posted by: Meredith | August 28, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Popular books/movie series effecting new lip gloss colors? Please.
Just because Twilight is about vampires does not mean its gothic. The whole appeal and unique thing about Twilight is that Stephenie Meyer portrays vampires as anything but. Not to say that there aren't gothic twilight fans out there but whatever.
Any actual Twilight merchandise (don't say plastic fangs) I would buy in a heart beat.
aka. anything with Rob's face on it
=)

uumm, for one, Edward and Bella would NOT approve black lipgloss AT ALL.
Second, just because Twilight has vampires in it, doesn't mean it 'gothic'. Its far from being that at all.
Third, please get your facts straight. Stereotypes are over man.
Posted by: lovely topaz | August 28, 2008 at 02:09 PM
Since when do Twilighters = goth? I can't imagine any situation in which I would wear black lip gloss, even for a Twilight related event. Epic fail.
Posted by: Helen | August 28, 2008 at 02:20 PM
erm... can i just point out that very few twilight fans wear blacj lip gloss or dress in a way affected by the book/film in any way.
i think the person who wrote this article kind of missed the point of twilight a little bit. they are NOT goth vampires with the whole black lipgloss thing. they are insanely beautiful, pale, have colour changing eyes and sparkle in the sun.
i think that anyone who was trying to look like a twilight vampire would have serious issues with fulfilling three of these criteria, therefore it would be a bit of a waste of time!!!
ps for the obsessive people who ARE interested in dressing up according to the books, dont bother trying to be werewolves. youll probably be locked up for insanity!
Posted by: oonagh | August 28, 2008 at 02:48 PM
Hmm....I would like to point out that the vampires in Twilight don't wear black lip gloss...but the other ideas sound great!! Espicially the colour changing contacts!! I would buy them in a flash!!
Posted by: TopazTearz | August 28, 2008 at 05:41 PM
Dudes. I already have pale skin and dark circles under my eyes. It's called being white and tired.
And we're totally not goths. Well, some of us are. But we don't like the black lip gloss any more than your next kid.
Edward and Bella wouldn't approve. Don't even mention Alice --- the horrors of black lip gloss! (;
Posted by: Chloeeeeee. (: | August 28, 2008 at 05:51 PM
ok, i'm not a make-up artist but I am an artist and isn't lip gloss translucent? If it were Opaque it would be lip stick correct? So as an artist applying translucent black over red usually will give you a plum color (red & blackish blue = purple) Anyway where can I sign up for a taste test with Hot Rob!!
Posted by: Jacki | August 28, 2008 at 06:38 PM
Twilight is not goth...black lip gloss is not my cup of tea.
Posted by: Beth | August 28, 2008 at 07:49 PM
the vampires in "Twilight" are definitely not your garden variety gothic horror blood suckers with pointy hair lines, long flowing capes and black lips..
but i'd be very surprised if at some point in the film, there's not a pair of lips (or two) with some dark blood smeared on or dripping off them..
just a hunch....but i could be wrong..
Posted by: ELIZABETH SNEAD | August 29, 2008 at 07:44 AM
Edward would never approve of black lip gloss, and Bella would never wear it.
The average Twilight-reader probably can't even afford to buy Lancome or YSL lip gloss. This is probably just some trend within the fashion industry.
Posted by: Katie | August 29, 2008 at 12:50 PM
I agree, Most Twilight fans are not going to be able to afford these expensive cosmetics and the Twilight vampires are not goth. Pale skin and dark eye circles are natural when you are the "undead" but black lips has nothing to do with it! BTW I did buy gold contacts for the midnight release and book signing! :)
Posted by: Crys | August 30, 2008 at 11:13 AM
it all depends on the color when you put it on so i cant really judge but im on both sides of conflict
Posted by: Kaylee | August 30, 2008 at 04:35 PM
Would buy the contacts, foundation and eye-cream if there is. But the gloss is a tad over-board. Vampires have black glossy lips? :D
Posted by: Gwen | August 31, 2008 at 07:00 PM
cute pic but he's just not edward...
GASPARD ULLIEL ALL THE WAY
DREAM TEAM FTW :)
Posted by: Lila | September 05, 2008 at 05:45 PM
um, yeah, black lipgloss is definitely not something that would be found in twilight whatsoever. i dont think it would be edward or bella approved. let alone alice (and her opinion is what matters fashion-wise, right?)
not all twilight fans are goth, either, and nobody in the book is goth. haha, what the heck?
vampires just look like really pretty, pale people
they don't go around accentuating their undead situation and appearance any more than they have to... unlike some people these days >.<
this sounds like a sick way to get money from high fashion goths
not to mention the ugliest beauty tool ever. tools.
but on a lighter note i absolutely love the twilight saga and simply cannot wait for the movie!
Posted by: Gemma | September 05, 2008 at 09:16 PM
WTF does black lippy have to do with twilight?
Do the Cullens suddenly have black lips?
Is Bella suddenly a goth?
Help me out here - I'm confused!
(don't get me wrong, am totally obsessd with twilight, but BLACK LIPPY!??? Methinks that's taking things a bit far!)
Posted by: xxscoobyxx | October 18, 2008 at 12:03 PM
k so twilight lipgloss is a bit pushing it. although it does not turn your lips completely black. It looks way better than that when its combined with the piha red. Which is how it's meant to be worn. so it's not as ugly looking as it sounds. just click on the link at the top to see it. Although, i don't think people should be getting this lipgloss just because they are twilight fans. They should get it because they truly like it.
Posted by: amy | November 02, 2008 at 12:29 PM
twilight today and btw im goth and i would nvr wear Black lipgloss ewww the rest of the stuff yes plz
