Givenchy Grenat Initie (307) Le Rouge Review, Photos, Swatches
Givenchy Grenat Initie (307) Le Rouge
Givenchy Grenat Initie (307) Le Rouge ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “deep red.” It’s a medium-dark, ruby red with subtle warm undertones and a smooth, luminous finish. OCC Role Play is more matte, shimmery. Giorgio Armani The Red is cooler-toned. Giorgio Armani Red Fuchsia is pinker. Guerlain Garconne is a bit darker. Dior Diva is more matte. Buxom Scoundrel is brighter. See comparison swatches.
I’m seriously making a pact between you and me that I am not to buy any more Le Rouges until Sephora does their % off during the holiday season, except any limited edition shades that I’m unable to resist. I only picked this one up to qualify for free shipping when I bought the limited edition summer shades from Givenchy’s own website (threshold was $75), but it is a stunner. A very classic take on red with the signature glossy sheen of the Le Rouge range. That sheen gives it such a smooth, plump, and juicy effect on the lips; color just looks smoother, more even, and lovely on lips. Some lipsticks can catch or emphasize imperfections on the lip, but this is a formula that masks imperfections. The consistency is lightly creamy but not too slippery, so it doesn’t move around or feather while worn. It’s nicely hydrating, wears a solid six hours (with a residual stain that lingers after), and is incredibly pigmented.

Hi Christine,
This is such an amazing red on you! I love how intense the color is 🙂
Thank you, Dovey! 🙂
Between the sparkly body highlighters and bronzers and the great red lipsticks it seems like we’re having a very glamorous day at temptalia haha love it!
I’ve been putting off buying a Le Rouge for a while, because my Sephora doesn’t have them to sample and swatch, but one more stunning review from you and I’m just going to sign my paycheck over to them and have a bunch shipped sight-unseen. They’re so, so lovely!
This is so gorgeous .
It looks beautiful on the lips & the packaging is great , too .
Thanks , Christine !
I own this lipstick and is honestly the best thing ever, completely worth the money and my absolute favorite lipstick on this planet. It’s perfect.
This looks beautiful on you. I have the urge to buy almost everything you post ‘coz they suit you so well. M.A 🙂
Thank you, Zainub 🙂
OMG this is a beautiful red! Looks gorgeous on you Christine. I must buy it!
I have the Rose Dressing one Christine and It’s the best matte lipstick I’ve tried. I also got the Croisiere Coral, not the same as Rose Dressing but I love the color, it compliments well with my skin. I looks bright almost neon. I’ll probably skip on this and just wait for OCC Role Play to get launched instead.
This is the kind of red I need! I will be picking this up during a sale 🙂
I got this shade too but I haven’t opened it yet.. lol
so beautiful red !! And really makes lips no imperfetions 🙂
*adore Le rouge*
This is one of my 2 favorite red lipsticks, the other one is the sephora vib rouge shade that bite made..
This looks great on you Christine, currently I have only one Le Rouge Magnolia Organza I like it and plan on buying another one from this line in the future, probably Hibiscus Exclusif. This is a nice red but I think it´s too dark for me, I always love to see reviews from this line.
Hi christine, you look great! I just have to say that I am known in my circle of friends for knowing when someone is pregnant…. And I have had this sneaking suspicion about you… You seem to have that pregnancy glow! I’m right aren’t I? I won’t tell!
Thank you, but I’m not pregnant – we are not planning to have any children.
How wonderful it is looking on you dear …. 🙂
I picked fuchsia and will gt it this week …..
I need moreeeeee but I promise … will wait for some offers 🙂
U r looking drop dead gorgeous
Thank you, Rashmi! 🙂
Oh wow! I think I may be getting this! It looks like an amazing red.
Does this have a scent?
Yes – violets!
Definitely my kind of red! Loving the packaging as well.
This is my HG red! I have about 20 different reds after searching for just the right one, and this one just blew me away as soon as I put it on the first time.
