You can now wear that classic Louboutin red...on your lips.

Iconic shoe designer, Christian Louboutin, has launched a collection of lipstick inspired by Babylonian architecture and Queen Nefertiti of Egypt.

The 36 shades, available in three textures (Silky Satin, Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile), will retail for $90 apiece. The products will release in September at Saks Fifth Avenue and on the company's website.

Louboutin is making the sticker shock a little more palatable. Besides good color, customers can wear the tubes around their necks; each cap is threaded with with a small black ribbon. The colors come encased in a jewelry box and silk carrying pouch.

Last year Louboutin released a line of nail polishes featuring pointed caps, which resembled the designer's famous high heels. They retailed for a hefty $50, but hey, that's a hell of a lot cheaper than $600 shoes.

Lipstick (and all its shades of red) was an obvious next step for the designer.
