Super Vampy Black Lips

I love fall!  I love the clothes, the weather, no more worrying about sweating your cuteness off as soon as you walk out the door and most importantly the colors.  I love the richness and darkness of the colors, oranges, burgundies, brown, red.  We've all seen the loveliness that is Cult of Cherry but how about adding black lips to your vamp palette.  I love some black nail polish but I'm not quite sure how I feel about black gloss.  The only folks I knew who wore black lips were goths railing against "the system" which were the nuns in my high school.

YSL is introducing Pur Black which was available pre-order and is now sold out.  Pur Black is being described as a sheer color so I guess it will be really good to layer with.

 Lancome has their Color Fever Lip Gloss in Phia Black which when paired with the Color Fever Lipstick in Phia Red, inspired by the infamous Christian Louboutin red soles, isn't so bad.

So what say you?   Will you get your vamp on rocking the black or the combo black and red lip this fall?
