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

Here are the swatches.

Product Review: YSL FARD À LÈVRES ROUGE PUR SPF 8


I honestly much prefer the ysl fard a lèvres over their infamous rouge volupté lipstick. Fact being that the rouge volupté is more of a creamy texture which when applied, feels more sticky and easily smudgable. As for the fard a lèvres, the stay power seems to last longer, which means i don't have to constantly check myself in the mirror for smudges and mess ups. I mean c'mon who wants a lipstick that bleeds all over your mouth like you just made out with somebody.


One thing about this lipstick that i wish they had done better in is the packaging. Not like the rouge volupté, where it's heavy duty and very well constructed, the packaging of this lipstick is made of plastic, painted gold. It's super lightweight and just doesn't give that luxurious feeling as what the rouge volupté gives when you hold it. But that's just my opinion.


These retail for $30.00 at Sephora. A bit pricey for a lipstick though, especially since the packaging suck. But overall, worth the price for the texture and stay power, plus the fact that it stays true to color when applied.

#19 Fuchsia Pink

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15

The packaging of this product is pretty heavy duty for a lipstick. Gold packaging with a color indicator on each and YSL logo surrounding it. The application is super smooth and creamy. Not to mention it smells like watermelon candy. YUM!

On the other hand these lipsticks are very easily smudge-able and i'm talking about once anything touches your lips after application, the color swipes off in a heartbeat. Pretty disappointing. They're sold for $34.00 US each. I gotta say they're pretty expensive for an approximate 1 inch of product in each stick. But overall, I lalalovee them!

There's 30 altogether in one collection. I've currently collected 20 of them. Enjoy :)
