Guerlain Lippies

I know i haven't blogged in a while, but i'm still alive don't worry :) School started last week for me so i've been busy focussing on that and building up my portfolio. So far so good. I'll be posting up my latest work of art soon.

This is a continuation of my lipstick collection that i've decided to share with you guys. Since i'm done presenting my YSL lippies, here are so far the three Guerlain lippies i own.




Guerlain KissKiss in 555 Beige Groove (a beige muavy matte color)
I purchased this from Sephora, but when recently went on the website, it was gone! No worries though, it's available online at SaksFifthAvenue.
523 Exces De Rouge (a vibrant berry red) Also purchased from Sephora, but is not available online at Saks5thAve.

Although its' scent isn't anything special and may smell like a lipstick i can buy for $1 at local drugstores, this lipstick is very moisturizing, long lasting, stays true to color, and just glides on when applying. Very lightweight gold metal casing. This product retail for $31.50 ea. Pretty expensive sad to say. I just found it weird that their pricing has a cent number to it lol It's not just $31, but an additional $0.50.
Overall Rate: 4/5



Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel Lipstick Compact
(i know right, such a long name -_-)
Color in 06 Garance (a dull rosie color that creates a natural yet splash of color for light-medium golden skin tones)

I found this pretty cool where you slide the lippie out and then..
TADAAAA! It opens up into a compact with a double sided mirror! haha i found this so clever yet creative! Designed by Lorenz Baumer, most talented jeweler in Paris, from the Place Vendome.

This product is some serious stuff. Extreme heavy duty silver packaging, shaped like a bullet. (i'm sure i can injure someone with this if i threw it :x) Double sided mirror inside makes life so much easier when applying it. Color stays true and very hydrating. Doesn't last as long as KissKiss, but still a very good investment if you're willing to splurge. Retail for $46. Yes, indeed very pricey but oh damn, every time i pull it out, it just brings a sense of luxury.. just.. AH! *dances like a little girl* :D
Overall Rate: 4.5/5
