When Did the Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin Strass Lipstick Launch?

Christian Louboutin hasn't announced an official release date for the Rouge Louboutin Strass Lipstick. On 12 October 2026, it was in stock on Christian Louboutin's own stores in the UK (£215), Germany (€245), Monaco (€245) and Poland (1,165 zł). It was not listed on the brand's US store, or at Harrods, Selfridges or Neiman Marcus, on the same date.

Price

For context, the standard Rouge Louboutin Velvet Matte Lipstick sells for $105 at Neiman Marcus. The Strass edition is the collector version of that lipstick.

What's Included: Case and Lipstick

One purchase gets the Strass case with an Epic Brunette lipstick refill already inside, presented in a red Christian Louboutin box. The 160 crystals are on the case, not the lipstick: the bullet is a Rouge Louboutin refill. Christian Louboutin sells the piece as refillable, so the case is meant to be kept after the first refill is used up.

Shade: Epic Brunette

The case comes with one lipstick refill in Epic Brunette (301M), which Christian Louboutin describes as "a burnt deep nude rose". The "M" in the shade code marks a matte finish. The bullet is embossed with the Louboutin stiletto motif.

Christian Louboutin's images show:

  • the closed case with the lipstick open beside it
  • the case with its cap off
  • the red Christian Louboutin box
  • a close-up of the embossed bullet
  • a swatch, plus lip swatches on three different skin tones

Where to Buy

Checked 12 October 2026: in stock at Christian Louboutin UK (£215), Germany (€245), Poland (1,165 zł) and Monaco (€245); not listed on the US Christian Louboutin store; not found at Harrods, Selfridges or Neiman Marcus.

What Makes the Rouge Louboutin Strass Lipstick Different?

  • Heel-inspired design: Christian Louboutin says the case draws on its "Lipstrass" heel. Each of the 160 crystals is hand-assembled.
  • Charm format: a ring at the top of the sculpted gold cap lets the case hang like a charm.
  • Limited run: the edition is limited to 800 pieces, and the case ships with a refill already inside.

Rouge Louboutin Strass Case (2024) vs Strass Lipstick (2026)

This edition is not to be confused with the Holiday 2024 Rouge Louboutin Strass Case.

Formula and Packaging

  • Epic Brunette refill: a matte shade (code 301M). Christian Louboutin describes the shade as "a burnt deep nude rose".
  • Strass case: a refillable gold case with a sculpted cap and hanging ring. It is presented in a red Christian Louboutin box.

Another luxury lipstick that arrived in an artisanal case in October 2026 is the Victoria Beckham Beauty Rouge Victoria Matte Lipstick. For another collectible refillable lipstick this season, the Guerlain Holiday 2026 Fireworks collection adds Collectors Edition Rouge G cases. You can also browse more makeup releases.

FAQ

Is the Rouge Louboutin Strass Lipstick refillable?

Yes. Christian Louboutin sells it as a limited-edition refillable lipstick, so the crystal case can take a new Rouge Louboutin refill once the Epic Brunette bullet runs out.

Is it the same as the 2024 Rouge Louboutin Strass Case?

No. The 2024 case had all-clear crystals, was limited to 700 pieces and came without a lipstick, while the 2026 edition adds red crystals, runs to 800 pieces and includes Epic Brunette.
