Guerlain: Perle de Lune KissKiss Gloss

Guerlain Perle de Lune KissKiss Gloss ($29.00 for 0.17 oz.) is one of three new, limited edition shades of KissKiss Gloss from Guerlain’s Holiday Collection.

Perle de Lune is a sheer, milky pale pink (it’s almost colorless, so soft the pink is!) with a large dose of pink, gold, and bronze shimmer. This is a particularly glittery shade of KissKiss Gloss, but it doesn’t feel gritty, so I do like that. I’d also say that this is definitely a shade you’d layer on a lipstick rather than wear alone, but for some, it’s a nice way to add sparkle without adding a lot of color.

KissKiss Gloss is a non-sticky, moisturizing gloss that lasts about four hours or so on me. I love the way it sparkles and glitters on my lips, and they always look fantastic layered over lipsticks. The scent is sort of a sweet rose, which isn’t always loved by lipgloss fans alike, so you may want to give it a whiff before making the leap for this shade. This particular holiday shade reminded me a lot of Chanel’s Holiday Aqualumieres, which also very sheer but had lots of sparkle–almost a mix of Canari and Colibri.

Bottom Line: If you’re a fan of sparkly glosses and don’t need a lot of color in your gloss, Perle de Lune may be right up your alley. It’s a bit of a splurge at $29 and you only get 0.17 oz., so it’s not the cheapest gloss around.  The packaging of this limited edition shade is also very pretty.

    Pretty, it kind of reminds me of MAC Peroxide.

      Oh, I barely remember that lipglass – was that from BBR? My memory is failing me!

      • Christy

        Friday, October 30, 2009

        Yup from BBR. If not Peroxide, Live & Dye. They’re so similar!

    I tested this last night and loved it a lot! In fact I love the whole collection! :)

      Woo! What did you end up taking home with you?

        I haven’t got anything yet. I’ve bought the quad on eBay, but it hasn’t arrived yet, and I’m waiting to see if I can get anything else cheaper (especially the Voyage Powder and the shimmer powder spray) on eBay too. But I will definitely get everything eventually. ;)

          You are the eBay pro. Seriously, if I ever need something hunted down and killed on eBay for me… I’m calling you!!

      It’s lovely over lipstick, though!

    I love the packaging, and the color of the gloss on the swatch. However, on lips, I just don’t think it stands out much. It would probably look good over a lipstick though.

      It’s definitely more of a gloss you’d use on top of a lipstick!
