Givenchy Holiday 2018 Rouge Interdit Mini Lip Duo Review & Swatches
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.

LELimited Edition. $25.00.
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!).

Rose Nocturne (06)
PPermanent. $34.00.
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.

They’re both beautiful, especially Rose Nocturne (and I love the name, too). Packaging looks very pretty, too.
But A) it’s too much money for two minis, especially with less than “A” ratings; B) I have shades that are similar; and C) I don’t like the scent of Givenchy lipstick.
So it’s a pass for me…with a sad puppydog parting glance at Rose Nocturne.
Such lovely colors! Only problem is that it seems as if the formula is a bit different and not up to snuff compared to their full-size counterparts, am I right? Rose Nocturne is one that I’ve been wanting for a few years. Just not sure that this would be the way to go to find out if it’s what I’m imagining it to be.
Very pretty shades but not blowing my skirts up so will pass. More likely to pick up a couple of the sheer TF lipsticks/gloss than anymore lipsticks.
“Not blowing my skirts up” — Love it! LOL
Me too!!! LOL
