Second Date
Second Date
Second Date is back - after very popular demand. This flirty berry-red lipstick made its mark years ago, and after endless requests, we finally brought it out of the archives. Still the same irresistible shade - that perfect mix of romantic red and playful pink that somehow flatters everyone that loves bold shades.
It’s vibrant, bold, and confident without being loud - the kind of color that makes people say, “What lipstick are you wearing?” Creamy, smooth, and shimmer-kissed for a touch of radiance, Second Date feels as good as it looks.
This gluten-free, vegan formula glides on effortlessly and nourishes your lips all day — because the best comebacks are the ones worth waiting for.

I have mature skin, cool tone, I bought this and sever others for myself and my young daughter as play makeup. This is the ONLY brand her little face doesn’t become puffy and red with when she covers her whole face! I must be gluten free and we’ve tried every gluten free product we could find. This is it! I’m on a budget, but when your little girl asks for play makeup and it costs you $75, you spend it.
Second Date was for me though. I love it! Reminded me of when I was dating my husband! It’s beautiful, sexy, applies well and feels luxurious! In fact all of the colors work so well with my cool winter and my daughter’s cool summer! I love them! My favorite is secrets for daily use and Second Date when I want my husband to take me on a date! Thank you for these amazing products!
