How it works for you

Formulated with Vitamin E to support a healthy skin barrier, and a Maxi-Lip TM plumping peptide matrix to stimulate collagen and moisturise, leaving your lips firmer, smoother and better-defined, with no drying, cracking or settling in your lip lines.

With a vegan formula that’s hand-made with care in England and free from Silicones, Parabens, Sulphates & Alcohol Denat.
How to apply

Sweep onto lips straight from the bullet. For maximum impact, add 2-3 layers. For a more casual “blotted” lip look, tap the lipstick with your index finger and gently dab the colour onto lips with your fingertip.
What people say

Wardrobe ICONS co-founder Laura Fantacci

"I used to have the perfect everyday pink lipstick, but when it was discontinued, I could never quite find a replacement. So, when the opportunity came to collaborate with Cosmetics à la Carte again, I knew exactly the shade I wanted to create.

Inspired by the soft pink of the roses in my hometown of Florence, Rosa blends everyday ease with a touch of nostalgia. Dab it on for a subtle flush of colour or layer it for a more pigmented, statement look — it’s a chic, seasonless shade you’ll reach for again and again."

Lynne Sanders, Cosmetic Scientist and Founder, Cosmetics à la Carte

"We’re passionate about finding ‘the beauty that works for you’ and love W. ICONS’ focus on timeless individual style. It’s been a joy to collaborate again with Laura using our signature bespoke blending to create this fresh shade, which feels both now and eternally relevant.”

Key Ingredients

Skin-Perfecting Smoothers

Referring to a group of modern polymer materials including nylon and silicones chosen for their fluid properties and sensory benefits. They improve the look and feel of skin, filling in fine lines and pores to create a smooth, flawless and silky skin texture. Oil-free and non-comedogenic, with a unique molecular structure, they feel light and breathable.

Vitamin E

Tocopheryl Acetate is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble antioxidant that limits lipid peroxidation in skin exposed to UV light and pollutants. This photoprotective effect serves to reduce free radical generation and DNA damage. Vitamin E also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Peptides

Peptides are amino acids that serve as building blocks for the proteins which maintain skin’s structure and firmness. The Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 we use boosts collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also supports fibronectin, laminin and elastin, improving skin firmness and elasticity and making it a key age-supporting ingredient.

Carnauba Wax

This natural wax from the Brazilian Wax Palm Tree, Copernicia Prunifera Cera forms a protective barrier on skin and lips, retaining moisture. It ensures lipsticks remain firm in high temperatures due to its high melting point. Additionally, it's widely used as a natural glazing agent and protective coating.
