Givenchy Lipstick Review

I love Givenchy lipstick, but I do not like the cases. Okay that’s my review, thanks for reading.

Haha, no. But that does pretty much sum it up. The lipstick is amazing. It is a really silky texture that glides on beautifully. The colors are rich in pigment, and I find the range of colors offered very aesthetically pleasing. Givenchy lipstick is high-quality, luxury lipstick.

But the cases annoy me. They hardly fit in my lipstick organizers, although almost every other lipstick brand does. I guess they thought it was a cute idea to have the little pully string, but I find it awkward. It’s unconventional in a way that isn’t at all practical, as far as I am concerned.

Illicit Raspberry and Rouge Interdit are two of my all-time favorite lipstick colors. The former is a delicious berry shade, and the latter is a bright hot red. I would carry them with me a lot more often if I didn’t totally dislike the cumbersome cases, that for whatever reason, Givenchy thinks are better than more conventional cases. Remotely cute, but mostly impractical, Givenchy. Your gorgeous, quality lipsticks deserve better.

Guerlain Lipstick Review

Hello there, lipstick fans!

Well Exces De Rouge from the KissKiss series by Guerlain is my number one favorite lipstick, and it’s been that way for the past couple years. I haven’t found a lipstick I like better. The color, the texture, the smell… all of it is just divine. I also adore Folie De Grenat (also KissKiss) and Greta (Rouge G De Guerlain). Gorgeous cases, too, right?

In comparison to the amazing Guerlain lipsticks mentioned above, Cuivre Drape is a disappointment. The shimmery brown color is alright (I’m like, “whatever”), but the consistency is more liquidy than the others, and it just goes on weird. The case for that one is silver instead of gold like the other KissKiss lipsticks, so maybe that has something to do with it.

From left to right we have four tubes from the Guerlain KissKiss series: Cuivre Drape, Exces De Rouge (x2), and Folie De Grenat. Then in the foreground there appears Greta, from the Rouge G de Guerlain series.
