Magnolia Organza is so so so pretty! I don’t think there’s a Givenchy counter near me though, otherwise I’d buy this baby in a heartbeat!
I can’t remember the last time I saw a Givenchy counter! I think they’re pretty much exclusive to Sephora?
They are at Barney’s now!! :)) online too, the full line up, isn’t that fabulous?
Oh, that’s great! 🙂
Ah, my wishlist just got longer! 😀
Uh oh! 😀
Love this grouping .. Wow! I have Magnolia Organza 301 and it is my top pick from this line.. far better on my skin than Rose Dressing which is very nice, but doesn’t have the same oompf factor.
Magnolia Organza definitely has more impact than Rose Dressing!
Those first two colors are perfect. I love them.
Yay!
Are these also slightly hydrating as the rest of the line?
Hi!
I mentioned how hydrating each was in the review above!
Mandarine bolero is gorgeous! They all are.
I’m with ya, Judith!
All of these shades are absolutely stunning!
Agreed!

Haha! 🙂 Love it!
I am loving your reviews on these Givenchy lipsticks. Even though my colouring is similar to yours (GA maestro 5.5), i seem to be wearing a cooler lip lately. Is this an absolute no-no with a warm skin-tone?
Are there any lipsticks in this collection that you love (and recommend) that lean to the cooler side?
Not at all, Helen!!
You look super pretty today, Christine. Love the first and the third.
Thank you, C!
You look amazing in most photos…these lipsticks are outrageous on you! Stunning. I don’t think I’ve seen you look better. Loved the first…then scrolled down and couldn’t decide which one was most flattering. I know you get buried in options to wear in your everyday life outside testing new products. Please, get a lot of use out of these three. Just lovely!!!!
Aww, thank you so much!! 🙂 On the rare occasion I can choose, I definitely consider these!
Wow, all three of these are stunning! Have never used Givenchy cosmetics, but you’re tempting me! xo
The Le Rouge range is my fave from them 🙂
All three shades look AH-mazing on you! I think I like Mandarine Bolero best… Or no wait, Magnolia Organza! Argh, I can’t decide 🙂
Thank you!
I love all 3!
Please tell me Mandarin Bolero is a dupe for Viva Glam Cyndi – I have been looking for one since the beginning of time.
Viva Glam Cyndi is brighter/redder on me!
Ah, thanks. I guess it’s close enough 🙂
Very summery shades, but all of them are nice 🙂
I can see the summer vibe you’re talking about!
Mandarine Bolero is one of my faves – it’s very close dupe for Hourglass Muse, but a better formula IMO.
So happy to hear you’re enjoying that shade, Becca 🙂
Me gustan los tres, no se si podría elegir uno 🙂
Oh my god these colors are amazing.
I can’t afford one $36 lipstick, let alone three so I can’t buy these…but I am definitely shopping my stash for dupes!
Hope you can find or create some dupes 🙂
OMG the colors are gorgeous! They look amazing on you, especially Magnolia Organza! Really, really like the colors. 😀
Thank you, Kiara!
I bought several shades from this particular collection and they never lasted long on my lips. Three hours max.Quite moisturizing but the fact it wouldn’t stick around for very long was quite a disappointment considering the price. 🙁 These shades look marvelous on you Christine.
What shades did you get, Shelley? The lighter ones last about average on me (four hours), and then the darker/brighter shades last five to six hours! But it’s not a long-wearing formula (like 6-8 hours).
102 Beige Plume, 104 Brun Cachemire and then 301 Magnolia Organza which is my fave shade out of them all. I will probably need to fill in my lips with a nude lip liner to help them last a little bit longer.
I hope that helps the longevity for you Shelley 🙂
When are these being released? I’m in UK and I can’t find the nudes/pinks anywhere.
These were released awhile ago 🙁
I own the Mandarine Bolero and it is seriously the perfect beginner-friendly lip color! If you’re not into the all-out red lip shade, this shade is a must-try!
Yayyy! 😀
Are these limited edition? Magnolia Organza is a beautyyyyyy! LOVE IT!
These are perm!
Oh wow, these three are beautiful! I was hoping for Magnolia Organza to be darker/redder, but it’s gorgeous as is.
Ahh, well, if you added a red liner, it might get there! 🙂
Good idea! 😀
Those are pretty colors!
Agreed!
Omgosh!! I have 301 and love it but WoW, now I see that I will *need* 304. So pretty!!
Wooo!!
All three of these look gorgeous on you Christine!
Thanks, Denise!
Magnolia Organza is freaking beautiful!
I totally agree!
You look so pretty today, Christine! I just love orange-reds on you!
Thanks a lot, Sheejun!
Oh man, I love all of these shades and they suit you really well Christine! The finish is beautiful. I like Magnolia Organza especially.
Thanks a lot, Danielle 🙂
Wow! They all look gorgeous on you!
How do you choose what lipstick you’re going to wear everyday?
Hey Gisele!
I usually have three to five lip colors that I test each day 🙂
Christine I was wondering, in a review when you write that a lipstick lasted 4 hours on you, are you eating and drinking during that time? I just can’t get anything to last on me over an hour if I’m eating and drinking.
Hi Elisa,
I’m usually not eating, but if it’s something that wears 8+ hours, then I’ve probably eaten with it on. I don’t have an issue with color fading really while drinking as I either use a straw or sip with the inside of my lip cupping the edge of the glass so minimal product is left on the cup/glass. I usually apply one lip color in the morning, eat lunch, then another 1-2 colors then, and then 1-2 colors after dinner.
Hi Christine,
Thanks so much for your reply. I was curious about your routine when test lip products. Maybe a straw will help improve the longevity for me. Thanks for the info as always!
Generally, if you really need it to last for hours and through drinking (and somewhat through meals), drier formulations will always last the longest – which is why often putting a lip pencil on underneath a lipstick helps everything adhere better. A shade like red, berry, wine, etc. also lasts longer even in more emollient textures, as they often stain the natural lip color, so the fade is much, much more gradual and less visible in a sense!
Hope that helps! 🙂
Are these shades Limited Edition?
No, these are part of the permanent range!
I just purchased this lipstick in the shade Carmin Escarpin. This is one of the smoothest and creamiest lip applications I’ve experienced! The shade is complimentary to my skin tone, and I love the leather case! Definitely a winner!
Woohoo!! So happy to hear you’re loving it, Katrina!
