Guerlain Cherry Kiss, Flower Fever, Corolla Rouge KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Cherry Kiss (739)
Guerlain Cherry Kiss (739) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark red with warmer undertones and a soft sheen. It had medium pigmentation in a single layer, which didn’t build up beyond that as the texture was more balm-like, so the slip didn’t lend itself to building up.
The lipstick felt thin but had good glide without being slippery during wear. It lasted for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$39.00/0.11 oz. - $354.55 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to offer "full-coverage" with a "high-shine" finish that leaves lips looking smoother and hydrated. The coverage ranged from medium to mostly opaque with a few shades closer to full-coverage. The texture was smooth, lightly emollient, and balm-like, as expected, that was comfortable to apply and to wear.
The majority of the shades applied evenly, softened the look of my lip lines, and were forgiving of imperfections, though some of the lighter shades were less forgiving. They lasted between three and five hours with darker, more red-based shades lasting longer and leaving subtle stains behind. The formula had a strong, floral scent and subtle, soapy taste at times (though consistent with the brand's lip products and their fragrance).

Guerlain Flower Fever (809) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a soft sheen.

Those are some beautiful red shown above! Even though Cherry Kiss only got a B compared to its slightly deeper dupe in #3, I absolutely love it! And Flower Fever, too. This line could break the bank 😱
Corrolla Rouge is a gorgeous red – but the ratings are not sterling enough at this price point.
