Guerlain Giulette Rouge G Lipstick
Just a Taste of Summer with Giulette
Guerlain Giulette Rouge G Lipstick (#63) ($45.00) is pretty much my biggest reason for wishing summer was a little closer right now! I originally expected to include this as part of the Spring Season, but obviously, it doesn’t fit that theme. It’s such a beautiful shade of bright pink with just a hint of coral with a golden sheen. It gives lips full-coverage, opaque color and a glossy sheen. Rouge Gs are always moisturizing and tend to look and feel really good on lips. (It is definitely one of the best formulas I’ve tried, though very pricey!) This is just one of those shades that I fell in love with as soon as I applied it to my lips. I was like, “OHH, PRETTY!” I can’t think of any great dupes at the moment — everything is too pink and doesn’t have the same hint of coral or golden sheen as this does — but I’d love to hear from others if they know of dupes!
Has anyone else tried out this shade and fallen in love?

This is exactly the kind of lipstick I'm looking for, but without the golden sheen. I love cream bright coral-pink lipsticks. Christine, do you know of any dupes, without the golden sheen, but with the coral-pink colour? The brighter, the better! :)
Maybe Korres Guava?
How does this color compares the the color Genial from chanel?
Genial is more orange, no real golden sheen like this one!
Hey Christine, I had a question. I'm warm-toned and I LOVE coral shades, but I can never find the right shade for me. As much as I love this color, I don't know how it'll look on me. In MAC, my studio fix shade is a C3. Do you know of any Dupes for this shade at MAC, Korres, or Lancome?
It's such a beautiful shade - like a candy or chewing gum :)
Such a pretty color, might this work with cool skin? --> I am pale, cool skin, green eyes, dark blonde hair. Haven`t tried chatterbox or impassioned from MAC, neither. THx!
Yes!
I need to get this!
i love the shade!
I just bought this yesterday, along with three other Guerlain Le G's from the spring line -- way overpriced, but all too gorgeous to resist! I can't wait for spring to wear them!
That color looks very nice on you but $45.00? You can by 3 MAC lippies for that at least. MAC Viva Glam V and MAC Lame lipsticks are both pink with gold shimmer, and their Creme de La Femme lippie is pink/lavender with gold shimmer.
OMG !! this color is soo perfect , makes me wish guerlain was in India , pretty !!
This is a beautiful color! I have not tried Guerlain lipsticks. I am a YSL lover and recently bought my first Shu Uemura a couple days age and am please with the Shu lipstick. I am pale and very blonde and typically coral does not look good on me. Any thoughts on how this beautiful color woudl present itself on my skintone and hair color?
I think this is definitely more of a pinky shade, so if you like bright pinks on you, this might be a good way to wear something that's a little coral!
It will be mine !
ugh I love it so :(
This is beautiful, a fresh breath of spring.
holy crap <3
All the Guerlain Rouge G lipsticks are so pretty!
Yes, I have this one - it is just as gorgeous as your pic. However, no pic does justice to the beautiful golden/coral sheen imparted to this pink lippie. It's a MUST HAVE from Guerlain.
I agree -- the sheen is just stunning!
looks amazing, but i dont like the packaging and i think part of the reason the price is so high is because of the packaging
for dupes i would say high 90's slimshine or popster TLC. so pretty!
It reminds me a lot of impassioned.
I was thinking there were elements of Impassioned as well. I think if Chatterbox and Impassioned had a baby..it could pass for a dupe of this one! Super pretty.
This one looks great! It reminds me of a MAC lipstick but I dont know which :/
Wow, that's absolutely gorgeous!
That is just gorgeous! I love your new feature, the lip series. And I know you're not a drugstore girl, but I can't wait for more reasonable prices!
I got at least a few coming up - some Maybelline, some CoverGirl... I'm trying to be open!
This is so, so gorgeous!!
This reminds me of Chanel RA Laques in Phoenix. at least how it looks on me. My lips are slightly more pigmented so it makes colours like this more intense. I think the two shades are in the same family but more of cousins than twins.
That is a unique shade. Very Pretty. It would be a nice "treat your self" purchase. Can MAC's speaklouder be a dupe?
Speak Louder is a nice bright pink, but I don't think it has the same golden/coral sheen. Similar, though :D
Both of the Sephoras stores by me don't carry Guerlain...know where else I can go to swatch these in person??
My Nordstrom has them!
Absolutely DIVINE!!!! I am sooo ready for spring!
I was given Rouge G in Giovanna for Christmas and I absolutely adore it! I'd like to build my collection, and this one certainly is beautiful, but a little too warm/coral for me. Do you know if there is another Rouge G shade that's equally bold, but a bit cooler? Thanks!
*sorry, I should have been a bit more specific - I meant a similarly bold pink shade :)
I don't think they have an equally bold/hot pink shade that's cooler. The closest seems to be Gaela - http://www.temptalia.com/guerlain-gaela-le-rouge-g-de-guerlain-lipstick-review-photos-swatches-lip-swatches But it's not really *hot* pink IMO!
Thanks Christine!
I love this color, and I can't explain myself why because I'm not into coral shades. On this one I like the fact that has full coverage and I think that golden sheen makes the difference:)
O__O;;; THAT...IS...A BEAUTIFUL SHADE!!! hmmm would that look good on Olive skin tones?
I think so :) I think it might be a shade you may have to work with to complement with the rest of your makeup, but I definitely think it would look fantastic.
Wow! That's really pigmented! And super pretty, also.
OMG, this is soooo pretty !! Want it, want it bad !! I think I'll have to buy this one next time I'm going in town.
I have this (in fact I have all the 60-something numbers except for #66) and it is gorgeous! :) Can I ask why you give 4/5 for packaging though, as I think it's the best lipstick design I've ever seen. Although it is very heavy to be fair.
I actually don't love it or even like it that much. Storage wise, it's a PITA - I can hardly read the label, and they all have to lay down (hard to stand-up). If you don't keep it in the case, it gets pretty scratched up, AND it holds finger prints. I hate, hate finger prints, but I deal with it... but if I'm paying an extra $10-15 mostly for packaging (IMO!), I don't want to see those nasty finger prints!! The weight isn't too bad, but I also don't carry much makeup with me, so I don't mind. I think it's really the fingerprints part that annoys me. I'm also slightly annoyed by the fact that they don't *come* with the velvet pouches unless you buy in-store and they give you one. I can appreciate it for being different and luxe, which is why I don't give it 5/5. It's hard to get perfect anything - if it's okay/good packaging, you'll probably see me give it a 4/5. I have to LOVE it for a full 5/5.
Yeah, I see what you mean. I still think it's pretty cool, and I don't mind the fingerprints, but it is so heavy. Although I mostly have testers (only have 4 "proper" ones) and with them you don't get the fancy packaging and that is how they only cost me £7.50 (instead of £25!) incl. postage on eBay. I don't care THAT much about the packaging. :)
oohh, very nice!! I wish these came in a standard tube in addition to the luxe, 'cause I don't need the fancy packaging, lol!
