Givenchy Rose Perfecto (209) Le Rouge
Next up in our look at some of the new shades in the Givenchy Le Rouge ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) range are three pinks. The Le Rouge formula is best described as a creamy, richly pigmented, hydrating lipstick that has a light, natural to luminous shine. It is rose-scented with no discernible taste (from what I could tell). It’s long-wearing, comfortable to wear, and usually makes my lips look better than they do naturally as the consistency and texture make them appear smoother.
Givenchy Rose Perfecto (209) Le Rouge ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as an “electric bright pink.” It’s a brightened, medium fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a soft shine. It had rich, full color coverage in a single pass, and it applied evenly and left lips looking fuller and smoother. This shade wore well for almost six hours on me. These days, we’re fairly inundated with bright pinks, so it’s not really a unique shade; what makes it slightly different than your typical neon fuchsia is really that it isn’t that neon–it’s bright but not blindingly blight, but it is not a dark fuchsia either. MAC Kelly Yum-Yum (LE, $16.00) is slightly more matte. MAC Happy-Go-Lucky (LE, $16.00) is lighter. Bite Beauty Satsuma (LE, $24.00) is lighter, more matte. Marc Jacobs Beauty Gossip (140) (LE, $30.00) is more matte. Urban Decay Anarchy (P, $22.00) is darker. MAC Pink Pigeon (P, $16.00) is darker. MAC Outrageously Fun (LE, $16.00) is lighter, cooler-toned. MAC Daddy’s Little Girl (LE, $16.00) is cooler-toned, more matte. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Givenchy Rose Dahlia (210) Le Rouge ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “bubblegum pink.” It’s a light-medium, cool-toned pink with strong, blue undertones. It almost looks a little grayish against my warmer skin tone. It had mostly opaque color payoff, but the texture seemed less forgiving–it didn’t look as smooth or as even applied as Rose Perfecto. This shade lasted for four hours on me. NARS Villa Lante (LE, $25.00) is warmer, darker. MAC Divine Choice (P, $22.00) is sheerer. MAC Snob (P, $16.00) is lighter, cooler-toned, less pink. MAC Raspberry Swirl (LE, $16.00) is slightly lighter. MAC Pink Nouveau (P, $16.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Givenchy Hibiscus Exclusif (302) Le Rouge ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “muted neon pink.” It’s a medium, very subtly cool-toned pink with a soft shine. I’d buy that it was a “muted neon pink,” as its brightness seems to fall somewhere between normal and neon–a little shy of “bright” even. The undertone seems to lean slightly blue when swatched and worn, but it looks almost warm-toned at times, yet when swatched next to truly warm pinks, it looks decidedly cooler–but your natural skin tone may pull it one way or the other (more “your mileage may vary” than usual). The color was richly pigmented and applied evenly and smoothly. It wore well for five hours when I tested it. Bite Beauty Damask (LE, $28.00) is lighter, warmer. Bite Beauty Vigne (P, $24.00) is a touch darker. Chanel Fougueuse (138) (P, $34.00) is sheerer. Giorgio Armani #505 (LE, $32.00) is brighter, darker. Urban Decay Turn On (P, $22.00) is darker. Milani Hot Pink Rage (P, $5.49) is darker, cooler-toned. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

I want all of them, especially Rose Dahlia. Such a sucker for pinks!
Pinks are fun 🙂
Hibiscus Exclusif looks really pretty on you!!!!!
Thanks, Vineetha!
Is it just the Guava beach tint giving you that glow? You look radiant!
As far as face goes, I’m just wearing my regular foundation, powder, and then that!
Hibiscus exclusif is so beautiful! They all are.
They are lovely shades!
I missed out on Kelly Yum Yum on Monday. That first shade just might have to do for me. They all look stunning!
It’s very close 🙂
They all look lovely on you Christine! I purchased 209 Rose Perfecto & loved it 210 Dahlia was a fail on me the milkiness of 210 looked hideous on my yellow tone skin.
Aw, thanks, Bre! 🙂
I wish with a name like Rose Dahlia that the product had performed better. These other two look great though
Yeah, the lighter shades in the formula don’t seem to be quite as good as the medium/dark shades, unfortunately!
Thanks for doing reviews on these!!! And the last bunch. These pinks are all beautiful and beautiful on you! Choices…
My pleasure, Megan! 🙂
Hibiscus Exclusif (302) is lovely…this sort of colour is very difficult to find in drug store brands..its beautiful unique color
I agree – it’s very nice!
Very lovely! But with the overwhelm of pink products on the market, it’s so hard to decide where to go and what to try next. I feel like I finally nailed my perfect summer fuchsia using between 3-4 products this year haha. Gorgeous, though! Bubblegum pink is awful on me but it looks lovely on you here.
I know – there are SO many pinks these days. Absolutely no shortage of fuchsia, lol!
I have more than enough pink but that doesn’t stop me from wanting all of them lol. These are beautiful!
Haha! 😉
Dear christine,
Sorry out of topic, have you receive press sample Lorac pro palette 2 ?
Hope you can do review soon… 😉
Sorry, I don’t have this or any info on it!
Christine, do you know if Givenchy cosmetics are cruelty free? I’d love to buy Rose Dahlia but I dont want to support animal testing
Last I checked, LVMH seemed to be, but it’s not an area that I keep up with, so you might want to check their website/LVMH’s.
Hmmmm! I am a bit disappointed by these 🙁 The quality is clearly there in at least 2 of them, but I can’t see myself wearing the shades at all. They look so… gaudy, almost. Christine, you are the queen of rocking all lipstick colours and they don’t even fully work for you!! That was not meant with offence whatsoever but it is so rare that colours don’t work for you. I have a similar skin tone so I can kinda base myself on you 🙂 One of the many AMAZING things about reading your blog
basically they are all way too cool-toned, is what i’m trying to say! I like coolness in my eyeshadows not my lippies…
Happy to help, Julia, even if it is to steer you away from some!
sooo freaking pretty! I have Rose Perfecto on the way here and and 211 the nude pink.. Looks like Hibiscus Exclusif will have to be added to the list. I think I would grab this instead of Bite-Vigne which is also on the list. The Givenchy formula is a little lighter in weight.
Glad I could show you this one before you bought Vigne!
Amazing shades! They look amazing on you x
Thanks, Sophie!
im getting all 3 awww pure heaven
Yay!
I like all of them but Hibiscus really stands out to me. It’s cool without being looking like a cool color. I always love warm corals and pinks but they are often way too warm on me. This might be a happy medium shade 🙂
I like how it’s not super, super cool-toned!
They’re all beautiful shades, especially the first and third.
Glad ya liked ’em, Rikki!
I just watched your YouTube video about the Milani Primary Runway Eyes Palette from way back. It made me realize that I have a voice in my head that I read all of your posts in, that isn’t actually your voice. Haha. It’s a little like reading a book where you picture the character one way, and then they turn it into a movie and he/she’s just different than you thought. (Is this totally creepy? I hope not. LOL)
Thank you for consistently putting out such great reviews Christine! I really trust your advice and love how you respect others. I feel like you appreciate this dream job (that I know is a TON of work), and I see the effort you put forth every day. You spend so much time responding to comments and answering questions, and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you!
It’s not creepy! 🙂
Thank you so much, Andie! I really appreciate your readership and taking the time to comment! xoxo
I adore the Givenchy Le Rouge formula and Givenchy Hibiscus Exclusif (302) Le Rouge looks so beautiful! Could you do a round up post with your recommended must-have’s and unique shades?
I will do a round-up of the new shades when I’m done reviewing them.
These are HOT, girl! They look great on you. Will definitely have to check these out. They look amazing. Thanks.
Thank you, Liz!
I have just found out gucci is releasing a cosmetics like in September
Do u have any info on it. I do have a pic but don’t know where I can get it or if will be available in canada
I don’t have any info other than it exists, but they haven’t sent out concrete details really.
They’re pretty, but they make me just sigh. I think i’m over the bright saturated pink lips. I want to wear Revlon Coffee Bean for a while LOL!!
LOL!
302 is so pretty. i don’t think i have any pinks that are quite like it. are these permanent shades?
Yes, they’re permanent according to Sephora!
I need to stop looking at cool-toned pinks because they just aren’t working for me at the moment!! Come on winter skintone…
By the way Christine, the dupes for these shades aren’t coming up yet 🙂 it says “Sorry! There were no dupes found for this product!” for all of them.
Fixed the dupes issue!
#1 and #3 are just gorgeous. Why do they have to be out of my price range, lol?
Maybe one of the dupes could work!
These are all so beautiful!
Which is your favorite, Sylvia?
That bubblegum pink looks great on you!
Thanks, Cinzia! 🙂
I have almost all the dupes for Rose Perfecto, but I still want it! Going to need Hibiscus Exclusif too 🙂
Must be a shade you wear often 🙂
They look so pretty on you Christine! Although I usually run away from blue-based pinks as they look pretty awkward on me..
Thank you, Divya! I like the way blue-based pinks look but less so on me!
*squeal* 😀 People (you included) have been singing the praises of the Givenchy lipsticks when I’ve asked them what I should try from that brand – I think Hibiscus Exclusif might have to come home with me from Dubai… 😉
Oooh, if it does, you have to tell me about it! 🙂
Beautiful shades!!!
Which was your favorite, Astrild?
Hibiscus is gorgeous on you !!!
Xoxo
Michelle
Thanks, Michelle!
Hibiscus Exclusif for me! So pretty! <3 <3 <3
Enjoy, Nikki!
These are all awesome!
Which is your fave, Sarah?
Hi Christine! It looks like Hibiscus Exclusif could be a dupe for MAC Viva Glam Nicki. What do you think?
Viva Glam Nicki is lighter, more muted, cooler-toned. http://www.temptalia.com/submit-dupe?sbs=1&pid=166760&dupe=107739
hibiscus is the prettiest shade of all thre.. I liked dahilia too.. a gorgeous muted pink.. but there are so many similar shades like Rose.. so it doesn’t excite me .. 😛
I hear ya! There are so many of these types of shades available.
