Guerlain Chant d’Aromes (103) Rouge Automatique Lipstick

Guerlain Chant d’Aromes (103) Rouge Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a warm beige-brown with a lighter beige shimmer. The color coverage is mostly opaque. MAC Dressmaker, Dressmaker is similar but a little more orange and has less shimmer. MAC Viva Glam VI is a little redder but they look similar on my lips. Guerlain Grace is also similar but less warm. MAC Lush Amber is similar but less opaque.

Even though Rouge G still comes out on top as my favorite lipstick (just ever-so-slightly), Rouge Automatique is easily in my top ten (maybe top five even).  It’s long-wearing, lightweight, feels comfortable to wear, and the finish is always luminous, which gives lips a healthy, luscious look.  The wear is between four to eight hours, but Chant d’Aromes wears just over five for me when I trialed it.  The consistency is creamy enough to enable an easy glide across the lips, but it’s not so full of slip that it slides around the lips.  For more packaging photos, please see this post.

This might be the “my lips but better” lipstick I have been looking for.However these colors have a tendency of looking weird on my lips.I will have to try and see if it works.
I loved the blush on you,with this lipstick it looks even better:)

It depends on the product – typically products do these things: 1) hold fingerprints, 2) are plastic, 3) bulky, 4) doesn’t survive dropping. Those three things aren’t weighed equally, and they can be overcome, but those just tend to be the main reasons why a product doesn’t get 5/5. 5/5 has to be functional, travel-friendly, durable, and droppable.

Every time you do a Guerlain post, I end up wanting the product…but it’s just like the Tom Ford deal, I can’t justify $35 on a lipstick. It’s just too much 🙁
