THE ARCHIVE // LIMITED EDITION

  • The Color: A cool gray, the silvery coat of the hunter; an unexpected neutral
  • First Conjured: 2015, in Feral
  • Inspiration: Wolves in the snow; the silent predator

Wolves in the Snow

A dense fog obscures the frozen landscape, revealing glimpses of the surroundings with each breath of the cold wind. Each slow, cloudy exhale dissipates into the surrounding whiteness. Footfalls on icy pine needles sound nearby with delicate shatters. Heart rate quickens. Muscles tense. Lips pull back to reveal sharp teeth. The predator advances, powdery snow shifting underfoot with each silent step.

A cool gray inspired by the silvery coat of the hunter, Strange Creature is an unexpected neutral. It is a stunning, remarkably wearable natural gray lipstick with a beautiful semi-matte finish, capturing the silent cold of winter.

The Forbidden Lipstick Formula

An intensely saturated, rich and luxuriant lipstick carefully crafted to reveal bold, daring color and impart enduring moisture. This formulation offers a beautifully dense, opaque finish that remains deeply comfortable on the lips.

How to Wear

  • For a bold, saturated finish: Apply Strange Creature directly from the bullet, using the edge to sharply define the lip line for a strikingly modern, cool-toned impact.
  • For a diffused, lived-in effect: Pat the silvery gray color onto the lips with your fingertips to soften the edges, creating a moody, unexpectedly neutral tint.

    Grey

    If I see a grey or black lip colour I have to buy it. It’s a great addition to my collection

    Sandpaper

    After having it for less then 2 weeks its already sandpaper dry and it broke (snapped). The shade is so cool but I am so disappointed by the formula.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! When using an Enchanted Lip Sheer or Forbidden Lipstick for the very first time—or after it has been sitting unused for a while—the initial swipe can feel a bit drier than expected. This is due to the natural beeswax in our formula, which acts as an emulsifier and creates a protective barrier on the lips. To soften it, we recommend gently warming the bullet by swiping it a few times on the back of your hand; once warmed, it should glide on smoothly, leaving a lightweight, comfortably long-wearing, soft semi-matte finish.

    That being said, your lipstick bullet should certainly not snap or break during normal use. We want to make this right! Please reach out to us directly at contact@ritueldefille.sbs, and our customer service team will gladly assist you with a replacement.

    Strange Creature….. Yes!!!

    This cool grey of Strange Creature may be edging out my original fave Prey. A true neutral gray is hard to find! Definitely one to stock up on! Thank you RdF! I hope cooler colors trend again soon, would love to see more of them! Until then I will buck the golden glows for I am a Strange Creature!

    lovely gray

    Looks very gray-purple in the tube but comes out fully gray. Haven't used it on it's own yet but looks awesome blended!

    Beautiful

    Absolutely LOVE everything about this shade and lipstick. From how soft & blurring it is on my lips to it being a perfect shade of grey!
