The formula of Geraldine looks so comfortable and much more luxurious than the others, in comparison. I thought the NARS shades looked so luxurious, but it doesn’t seem to quite compare to Guerlain’s formula.
Side note: This is one of my favorite features that you do, Christine. I always completely and thoroughly enjoy your blog!
Guerlain’s has a little more slip, and in the long run, more hydrating (for me), but they’re both very nice in terms of finish – they give lips a smoother, plumper look! 🙂
Hi Christine!
These look beautiful! I was wondering how MAC’s A Novel Romance lipstick compares?
A Novel Romance is way, way lighter!
Wow! So many almost exact dupes! 😀 I kind of like that, though, because it means there’s a range of price points, brands, finishes and levels of comfort to choose from. Although Powerful probably won’t be my first choice, I still really want to try the new(ish) Estee Lauder line!
It just makes it all the more impressive when there aren’t a bunch of dupes, LOL!
Very good dupes. I’m surprised L’oreal has something that pigmented. I normally rely on Revlon for that sort of power from the drug store.
L’Oreal definitely has some more pigmented lip colors from what I’ve tried!
You just reminded me that I have that Loreal lipstick! I need to find it to see it Marisa is worth picking up. I don’t really need anymore pink lipsticks honestly lol
Haha! 😉
Waw ! Géraldine is pretty !
Xoxo
Michelle
It is!
Lol wouldn’t have thought its SO dupeable. Thanks Christine!
No prob, Dee!
I don’t have any of them but I want that NARS one.
Your wallet is in danger!
