I have some lipstick love to share. I am not a lip product person but I am absolutely IN LOVE with these.


Packaging is very sleek with leather. It looks nice but I think it's a bit inconvenient to open. I have to grab on to the little square and then pull. But again, it looks nice. >_<

Rose Dressing is a warm coral pink with semi-matte finish. It's not very bright but it's not muted either. I think the first picture below is the closest representation of the color in real life. It's darker (not by much) and warmer than 201 Rose Taffetas.

Formula of Givenchy Le Rouge lipsticks is amazing. It's the pigmented, semi-matte, and opaque formulas. It glides on very well. So if you want little bit of the product on your lips, you might have to use a lip brush. Also it doesn't accentuate flakes(doesn't hide them though) or sink into lines.

The most impressive quality about this lipstick is the lasting power. The lipstick coat itself stays on longer than other lipsticks. 3-4 hours. After that it leaves a stain that lasts all day. Not sure if I can call it a stain but there's always a thin layer of color on the lips that just won't come off. It wears down pretty evenly on the lips too.

I absolutely love this new lipstick line. There are a lot of bold and wearable colors. But not too many nudes, light pinks, mauves, and that sort of colors. As someone who wears typically "easy to wear" colors, there were only a few for me. But I did indeed get all the ones I would wear. That's how much I love the formula. Hands down my favorite and this is coming from someone who doesn't necessarily like opaque lipsticks.

 I have a few more colors to share and I will also post a swatch with all the ones I have. ;)
