Givenchy Golden Red (888) Le Rouge Lipstick Review & Swatches

Christine — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 21:00:00 +0000

Golden Red (888)

($42.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, warmer red base with flecks of gold sparkle throughout. The finish was more satin-to-matte than particularly glossy, but it had noticeable sparkle and shimmer but not enough to make it truly metallic.

The texture was moderately dense with enough glide to apply comfortably without tugging; it seemed less velvety and creamy compared to other Le Rouges, though. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, which deposited even color that didn’t emphasize my lip lines or natural texture. The color stayed on well for five hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "intense color" with a "semimatte finish." Most shades are opaque with a few falling short of full coverage that apply evenly and last between four and six hours. The fomrula is lightly creamy to moderately creamy with some slip that is comfortable to wear and typically moisturizing over time. It has a floral scent but no discernible taste.

Givenchy Holiday 2018 Rouge Interdit Mini Lip Duo Review & Swatches

Christine — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Holiday 2018

Givenchy Holiday 2018 Rouge Interdit Mini Lip Duo ($25.00 for 0.08 oz.) features two miniature-sized version of top selling shades in the Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick range. The formula is supposed to have “long-lasting wear” with “vibrant, satin color” that has “endless comfort.” They were both comfortable to wear, but it wasn’t a particularly long-wearing formula as the texture was more emollient but thin without that adherence needed for exceptional longevity. They were floral-scented from what I could tell but had no discernible taste.

Rose Nocturne (06)

Rose Nocturne (06) is a soft, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a soft, lightly emollient texture that felt more like a lipstick/lip balm hybrid than a traditional lipstick. That made for comfortable application and wear but didn’t make it particularly long-wearing as it only lasted for three hours on me (at least it was hydrating!).

Rouge Interdit (13)

Rouge Interdit (13) is a bright, medium red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage that adhered evenly and smoothly on my lips. It had a lightweight, lightly balm-like consistency as it had some slip but was still thinner and didn’t slide around noticeably. It wore well for four hours, left a very faint stain behind, and was lightly moisturizing.

Givenchy Mystic Pink Mystic Glow Powder Review & Swatches

Christine — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Mystic Pink

Givenchy Mystic Pink Mystic Glow Powder ($47.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a pale, peachy beige with warm undertones and a sparkling, glittery finish. The formula isn’t supposed to “leave any textured effects” and be “easy to build” with “a veil of mother-of-pearl with multi-glitter reflections.” It had a denser, slightly firmer consistency that needed a moderately-dense brush (I used a tapered highlighting brush) to work well with it as more feathery brushes (like a fan brush) seemed to pick up a dusting of sparkle.

It can be used wet or dry with application using a dampened brushing a much more metallic, high-shine finish and a bit more pigmentation with less effort. Dry yielded medium, buildable pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours but had a fair amount of sparkle/glitter travel over the course of the day, whereas dampened application had semi-opaque coverage that stayed on well for as long but had less glitter migration. This is going to be most suitable for those who like a healthy dose of sparkle/micro-glitter in their highlighters.

Givenchy Nude Cachemire, Rose Flanelle, Fuchsia Angora Le Rouge Liquide Reviews, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Sun, 17 Jun 2018 16:00:00 +0000

Nude Cachemire (101)

Givenchy Nude Cachemire (101) Le Rouge Liquide ($37.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a soft, light-medium coral with warm undertones and a cream finish. The consistency was very emollient with a high amount of slip, which made it harder to apply evenly and keep it inside the lip lines due to the rounded applicator. It had nearly opaque color coverage that sank into my lip lines within an hour of wear, though the color stayed on for about four hours. It took three hours or so for most of the sheen to go away. The formula was lightly moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview

$37.00/0.1 oz. - $370.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "velvet matte" finish that "never feels drying" and is "super-vibrant." It is also supposed to "hydrate and smooth like a nourishing lip balm." The applicator is a fluffy foam tip with a light slant and rounded shape where the lip color exudes out when twisted--the actual lip color has the texture of a thick cream than a traditional liquid lipstick. I found the applicator to be tricky to use and certainly worse than a standard bullet or applying using a doe-foot applicator. It was hard to maneuver along the edges of my lips, especially around the cupid's bow. Of the shades I tried, they were semi-opaque to opaque, comfortable to wear (lightly hydrating), and lasted between four and six hours but found that they seemed to fade more unevenly than the average lip product.

Givenchy Rose Flanelle (202) Le Rouge Liquide ($37.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a soft sheen. The pigmentation was nearly opaque with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that had enough slip to glide across my lips well but didn’t feel overly slippery to wear. The color lasted well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

Rouge Mohair (308)

Givenchy Rouge Mohair (308) Le Rouge Liquide ($37.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a vibrant, raspberry pink with subtle, cool undertones and a satin sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, and this one I struggled with as the color looked uneven and almost splotchy in places as if some of the product stained my lips but not everywhere. The texture was thinner and more oily, though it seemed to set a bit faster than other shades. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating.

Givenchy African Light Gold Bouncy Highlighter Review, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Mon, 07 May 2018 21:00:00 +0000

African Light Gold

Givenchy African Light Gold Bouncy Highlighter Cooling Jelly Glow ($41.00 for 0.33 oz.) is a soft, light-medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a satin sheen. It’s a new, limited edition cream-based highlighter that has a slightly cool-to-the-touch sensation when initially applied, but it has an overly-emollient texture that seems to dry down incredibly quickly to the point where all it did was catch on texture and separate the more I tried to blend it out. I tried using fingertips, brushes, and sponges to apply and to blend out the product, and I did not feel like anything worked well.

The product seemed to sit on top of my skin, which isn’t usually an issue with cream-based formulas, as they’re often designed to look more natural and skin-like. It worked terribly over any base products as it lifted them up and caused them to turn patchy wherever it touched the base. It did not look dewy or shiny or luminous, even in person; it was barely visible in photos, and it wasn’t much better in person (I felt like it was more visible because it texturized my cheeks but not that visible from giving it dewy sheen). It lasted for six hours on me.
