#28
Guerlain #28 Rouge G de Guerlain Lip Color (2018) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium red with warm, orange undertones and a subtle, pearl sheen. It had good color payoff in a single layer, though I could see my lip freckle peeking through. The texture was lightweight, thin without being clingy or uncomfortable, and had enough slip to glide across my lips without tugging. The color went on evenly and stayed on well for five and a half hours, while the formula felt hydrating.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "intense colour" with a hydrating base that includes things like jojoba and mango butter as well as hyaluronic acid (and gugul resin) to "help to smooth and plum up lips." I would describe the formula as somewhere between semi-opaque and opaque, often buildable, with a luminous sheen that seems like there's very, very fine pearl but less distinctive shimmer (except for the shades that are actually shimmery).
I find that the magic of the formula is in its finish--it's shiny, luminous, and absolutely smoothing on the lips without compromising wear (four to six hours, sometimes longer). The formula is very hydrating and comfortable to wear. They have a sweet, floral scent but no discernible taste to me. The updated shade range seems to have a stronger emphasis on mid-tones in coral and red and less beiges than before.
The Rouge G de Guerlain Lip Colors have been updated but mostly with respect to packaging and the shade range, as the formula itself has not been changed (per the brand). The lipsticks are now available as refills for $32.00 each, and then one can pick from an assortment of cases ($15.00 each), though each refill comes with a small, plastic cap that keeps the refill from drying out while waiting to be sold. The refill cap seems like it would be sufficient to keep the lipstick long-term, but I can't say from experience. I have not tested each shade for wear, but the shades I have tested, initial swatches and applications, and the like make the formula seem the same as before.
The old Rouge G cases do not fit on the new refills as the case doesn't stay on without a magnet (it just slides right off). I don't yet have any of the cases as they weren't available to me to purchase yet, but I plan to pick one or two up merely to see how they feel (probably the Original, to see if there was any weight change, and then something new).
A big upside to the refillable packaging is that they're actually significantly less expensive buying them piecemeal than buying it all-in-one. The original Rouge Gs were last sold at $58.00 for 0.12 oz., and now, the all-in-one price is effectively $47.00 for 0.12 oz. -- that's a nearly a 19% reduction in price.

#71
Guerlain #71 Rouge G de Guerlain Lip Color (2018) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. The lipstick had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that glided easily across my lips and yielded even, mostly opaque color payoff in a single stroke. This shade wore well for five hours, stained my lips slightly, and was moisturizing over time.

#67
Guerlain #67 Rouge G de Guerlain Lip Color (2018) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a rich, raspberry pink with subtle, cool undertones and barely-there pearl paired with a creamy, lightly shiny finish. The pigmentation was good, though not quite opaque in one layer, and it covered my lips evenly without settling into my lip lines. The texture was lightweight, lightly creamy but not overly slippery, and comfortable to wear. The color stayed on well for six hours and kept my lips hydrated over time.

WOW, these are so gorgeous. I can see where my money will be going over the next couple of months. Such a nice formula and so comfortable to wear. I love the pink/red/berry tones. Frankly, I can never get enough of them.
3 summer *perfect* shades, I’m in love with these type of colors this time of year. Probably because they remind me of refreshing things like fruit punch, sangria (homemade) and watermelon!
#28 is yet one more red with my name written on it. (Don’t I have enough red family lippies by now?!?)
“Don’t I have enough red family lippies by now?!?”
This made me laugh! I just bought a Chanel red and now I have a total of 14 red lipsticks. But they’re different brands, shades, finishes, and formulas, so it’s ok . . . isn’t it?
Lol
I’m honestly too terrified to take a tally of my red lipsticks, Seraphine! Same goes for my ridiculous amount of nude/mlbb family of lipsticks… ?
I keep a list of all my lipsticks grouped by shade. Mauve/nude/MLBB is a huge category!
#67 is especially pretty out of this group, but I’m waiting to see the review for #78, which is the shade I’m leaning towards.
I received 67 in the mail today. I have NW 20 type skin color. It is a fantastic lipstick on me.
#28 is the perfect coral red. I’m glad to see more glossy lipstick options. Looks fabulous on you!
Again, just beautiful shades, especially No. 28.
